It is very formulaic tbf: a quick skip through highlights over the years while a few talking heads in a black room offer opinions & anecdotes, uaireanta trĂ Ghaeilge. Because of this, the Laochra himself/herself has a major influence on the entertainment factor of the programme.
For example, as you can see the prospect of Mr. Bennisâ episode has generated pages & pages of discussion, whereas John Allenâs will be like watching paint dry.
+1. Bland, formulaic television for auld rural lads with no access to Netflix.
The ones Iâd like to see are:
John Power (Kilkenny)
Mattie Forde (Wexford)
Francie Bellew (Armagh)
Mick Lyons (Meath)
Dermot Earley (Kildare)
Was there not one on Lyons? Maybe itâs the Meath one Iâm thinking of. They could just show his reaction to Colm O Neills hilarious punch over and over again for the half hour, thatâd do.
I presume Dermot Earley was a joke, and a funny one at that
Sure donât they pay their TV Licence fee like everyone else.
They could do with a few more controversial figure rather than a highlights reel of a few wins.
The Dunne one was good, get a bit more like 30 for 30 and concentrate on the story rather then the celebration.
I thought the whole strength and conditioning was meant to bridge the gap from minor to senior?..surely some of these guys coming out of minor have been doing S&C all the way through?..
a ridiculous statement that ends with a question mark ?..as far as ridiculous statements go yours is a gem - Kilkenny kicked 3 points in an All Ireland semi final loss to Mayo in his first year palâŚmaybe thatâs why he was fast tracked to senior football as opposed to your hurling âthugâ of war theory ??..and just like Kerry this year he did on a team who were reigning champions at the timeâŚterrible post buddyâŚabsolutely 3rd worldâŚ
Go way you clown heâd made it onto the field due to injurys. You tried to suggest Kerry minors arenât that good because none of them had made it by the age of 19. When you add in Kerry got back cooper, galvin and Tommy Walsh it was always going to be very difficult for anyone to break onto that panel. Also most of the best players were underage this year.
@RamblerRED and @Bisto move it to the 2016 All Ireland thread for more relevant discussion please.
for a startâŚi asked the question regarding kerry minors as i admitted seeing fcuk all of themâŚyouâve totally blown the top hereâŚKilkenny kicked 3 points and was joint top scorer from play for his team in an all ireland semi final, thus justifying he belonged thereâŚif most of the best players in Kerry were underage this year again then thaâts fair enough and explains a lotâŚwhy youâve had a meltdown over it beings questioned is hilariousâŚyouâd swear its unheard of to bring minor onto a championship panelâŚespecially from winning teamâŚ
Out of interest who was the last Kerry player to establish himself in the senior team when still eligible for U21. Is it Cooper?
I donât know palâŚi know recent enough winners of minor All Irelands that had senior teams in finals around the same time brought a few minors straight inâŚoff the top of my head diramuid o connor and Stephen Coen went straight into Mayo panelâŚeric lowndes and Costello were two that went straight into Dublin panel
Kerry turned a lot of average minors into good players over the years alright.
the Kerry clown beside me in croke park at the final last septemebr said that that was the worst all Ireland in yearsâŚi said its the worst all Ireland since last year and the same team ahs been involved in both!! at elast this year you could blame the weather
Fair play, it was worth a shot anyways.
Killian Young.
Tommy Walsh was still an U21 when he played a lead role on the 2009 All Ireland winning team.
Away to fuck with Forde. Declan Browne retired before him and had also played intercounty hurling. He well deserves first go in the series.
Good and all as Browne was I think itâs a stretch to believe that theyâd make a documentary on himâŚ
âŚhaving already done so in the last series in 2012.
