I hope kenny does well but i was puzzled as the how Maguire started. Ive seen him a few times for Ireland and doesnât look up to it. Too light and touch not good enough either.
I agree with your second two points. What does the strawman bit relate to?
A fella once tried telling me that if we had no GAA weâd be the best in the world in rugby and top ten in soccerđ Weâre a GAA country though!

Big John Carroll that played for Tipp probably would have been some star in the 00âs Ireland rugby team!
Anthony Tohill and Graham Geraghty were coveted by EPL teams on the basis that GAA players were supreme athletes.
The Aussies play GGA for two weeks and best the Irish

Jason Sherlock could have been a darling of the Kop.

Legend has it Geraghty went on trial at Arsenal and put them to shame with his fitness and athleticism.
Tohill had no significant soccer experience and Ferguson had him over training with the team.
At least Connolly recognises this.
I think thereâs a pretty good player in the making here and it will come for him. Heâll score around 18 international goals in about 107 appearances.

All of this was back in the early 90s when English football was pretty poor compared to now and full of pissheads
Thatâs very honest. There may be hope for him.
I think Kenny deserves some slack for the past week, itâs been a clusterfuck not all of his making. 3 games with wildly different teams and horrific build ups. Few could have managed it.
I still maintain someone good at putting tbe ball in the net papers over a lot of the criticism. I think Kenny has handled himself well all told.
GAA coaches had mastered making fellas run up hills which gave them a competitive advantage until Wenger came along with his pasta and abstinence
Id hate doing it but bamford has to be asked again and nathan redmond.
Not at all. Time is what is requiredâŚ
This is exactly it, if anything the players attitudes have been superb since last Thursday night, they literally had to pick themselves up off the floor after crashing out in a shootout and play two rotten fixtures days after not to mention the covid fiasco in the camp.
The next international window should see us far more settled, a draw with Wales and then a first win for the new regime at home to Bulgaria to preserve the League B status.

I dont think weâve ever had a bunch whoâs attitude you could question.
I still have concerns about Dohertyâs attitude mind. He just gave up on that Randolph fuck up today again
Should have wound up soccer in OIreland when Delaney was found out. Concentrate on hurling rugby and football for the uncultured parts of the country. Gga will save us from covid and embarrassing ourselves on the world stages
The Aussies that never play Gaelic beat us mate
Footix on twitter clamouring for paul jewell or big sam, canât say Iâve seen much of thatâŚ
