[QUOTE=“Gman, post: 987153, member: 112”]I’d be disagreeing there to be honest. Think Flynn has been better than Connolly so far. Been more consistent and active whereas Connolly has been strolling around doing fuck all really or making any impact.

But that means I’d be agreeing with that bomber loon. so I’m torn really.[/QUOTE]
Despite what the more sensitives think here, as you know, its ok to disagree ith me. I think yiou should go with Flynn. However it isn’t that hard a stretch to find another 2 half forwards to fall in there. Buckley was superb against Cork.

2562

There are two decent teams in Ulster, they played yesterday. Armagh would be a middling team, thats it Ulster is shit, competitive and dogged, but low skill levels.

2563

Your inferiority complex is creeping out again.

2564

Back to this utterly bizarre post again. What point are you attempting to make here? That it would be a huge revelation I would watch 4 televised games? As I have said I am going on the basis of games and players I have seen, weighted by the oposition played.

Interesting you having a pop at Cooper and Flynn when they have got the man of the match awards in two of Dublin’s three matches.

Mone, Walshe and Hughes have been terrific for Monaghan this year and Dyas has been imperative to Armagh’s run this year and I can’t think of anyone more worthy to be included ahead of them.

2565

What sort of an injury does Ger Brennan have? Is he likely to be be back any time soon?

Alan Brogan and MDM are the heart beat of possibly one of the greatest teams ever an you don’t see it.
What “pop” did I have? You clearly had a look at MOTM’s to come up with the team if you are referencing that.
Picking Anthony Maher is the most farcical thing of all, and has no justification whatsoever.

Anyway carry on, I don’t think I have to expose your foolishness anymore, it’s there for all to see.

So first of all I was trying to be controversial, now you are saying I’m basing it MOTM awards. This sort of a flip flop debating style is one of the main reasons why you have zero credibility on here.

I picked the best players in the matches I have seen. Mayer was brilliant against Cork and his distribution is excellent, your hyperbolic dismissal of his ability is perfectly in line with your reputation on here as a spoofer.

Thats the thing, i don’t seek credibility here. You should spend less time seeking it yourself.

2569

Oh don’t worry, there’s absolutely no fear of you being seen as credible on here. Or anywhere you pedal your bullshit for that matter.

Perfectly straightforward really

2571

Oh really?

Name dropping to add credence to your arguments and referencing your “expertise” could never be construed as someone trying to lend themselves credibility.

2572

You had a Meath full back belting away at a lad lying on the ground, another Meath fella gouging the mouth of the same player and a biting incident. I wonder how many suspensions will arise from this, there was needle in the Ulster final but nothing on a comparable level to what went on at Croke Park.

2573

And it’s all in the media. You tried make out like Ulster games were the only ones who get that attention

2574

No needle. Flailings of a beaten frustrated team. Dublin showed restraint as they are well drilled and if you get suspended you may well lose your place for rest of season.

Armagh seem to engage in tactical premeditated melees.

2575

It was the same ‘incident’ you gom

As great a player as Alan Brogan is, I think that’s a bit premature.

He didn’t play any league or championship last year. So he has only played in 3 facile championship wins on this team.

2577

What did you chaps make of Donegal yesterday? I thought it was really efficient and clinical. Close to their 2012 best in terms of organisation and control of the game. They could do with another scoring forward perhaps as McFadden seems to be struggling to find his best form and Murphy is playing very deep. McBearty had a really positive impact when introduced and MacNiallais had a superb game and kicked two particularly wonderful points. Ryan McHugh was brilliant too.

They are a better team than last year Rocko and for all the talk about subs and what not it’s he is making the difference. At this point in time he is much better and more consistent than CK was, however normal that would be. He was superb yesterday, unmarkable. They can’t seem to find him, he ghosts in and out of it. It’s super intelligent play.
He needs to be tagged in a Marty Clarke type of way for anyone to have a chance. He brings the other players into the game so well and he is two passes ahead of everyone. They all seem to know behind the ball that when he gets it you make a run for an eventual off load.
He was a big loss in 2013, but the new influx softened the blow a bit last year. He is in the form of his life.

I’m not disputing any of that - he’s a great player and is having a big influence. But he hasn’t yet played a role in any important championship games on this team.

Agree with most of that mate but don’t think they are quite at 2012 levels yet.

MacNiallais has been outstanding. He’d be one of my All Star midfielders as things stand
