Whether he develops or not is one thing but he looks well off the pace now. Actually I can distinctly remember Il Bomber Destro picking Diarmuid O’Connor out for special praise during last year’s league campaign.
It’s a joke based on your keypad appearing in the image you condescending dipstick.

Please refer to the condescending dipstick remark again.

I thought it was middling myself - but not awful.

Thanks I was aiming for middling.
I appreciate that.
What you have omitted to point out is that in the quarter finals for the last three years in the five quarter finals that Ulster opposition faced non-Ulster opposition, the Ulster side lost heavily on all five occasions.
In 2015 - Mayo beat Donegal by 8 points and Dublin beat Fermanagh by 8 points
In 2014 - Dublin beat Monaghan by 17 points
In 2013 - Mayo beat Donegal by 16 points and Kerry beat Cavan by 6 points
The only wins recorded at the quarter final stage by Ulster sides in the three years you referred to were in all Ulster clashes - Tyrone beating Monaghan in 2013 & 15 and Donegal beating Armagh in 2014.
You’re also incorrect in your assertion that Ulster dominate the qualifiers year on year. Its only 6 of the 15 years since their inception in 2001 that Ulster has provided the most qualifiers - 2003, 2004, 2007, 2013, 2014 & 2015. As illustrated in the three most recent years 2013, 2014 & 2015, the performance of the Ulster sides in the quarter finals was woeful. Similarly in 2007, the three Ulster representatives all lost at the quarter final stage - Monaghan to Kerry, Derry to Dublin and Tyrone to Meath.
Leinster has provided the most qualifier winners/quarter finalists on 6 occasions - 2001, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010 & 2012, the same number of times as Ulster. The five counties of Connacht provided the most qualifier winners/quarter final representatives in 2002 and the six counties of Munster were best represented in 2011.

Two things struck me about the clip.
-
O Rourke acting as co commentator even though he was still playing.
-
Kerry only had 8 points with over 60 mins gone and no blanket defences.
Kerry were a very poor side. Very poor.
It was worth a watch for Breen’s head strapping alone.
I love the gloves in shorts look
A few of the minors on Sunday had that look going on. Just needed the mikasa’s to perfect it.
You’d struggle to find a glove with less grip than the mikasa’s, what were they about at all?
God himself only knows. You can still buy them though

They were grand when they were brand new, options were limited as proper goalkeeper gloves aren’t really suitable for Football and they were bloody expensive, I know the original cooper helmets were for Ice Hockey, what were the mikasa for?
Building?
