My team for the Dublin game in an ideal world would be
John Kiely in as manager along with Ross Corbett
Quaid
Condon
English
M Casey
Seanie OāBrien
Diarmuid B
Gavin
Paul Browne
Darragh OāDonavan /Pat Ryan - Alan Dempsey to be on the bench
Dowling
Downes
Cian Lynch
Ronan Lynch
Hannon
T Morrisey (had a shocker today but should be persisted with)
Nash is a huge prospect as well going forward into the summer.
When you try using the same method over and over again, hoping for a different result, then youre fucked.
Or clinically insane.
Take your pick
Both pal.
Mother of god? Did you watch the game? Condon at half back? Jesus wept.
Donāt think Ronan Lynch is a forward tbh. Lovely striker of a ball, but I wouldnāt pick him ahead of someone like Nash, even though he was poor today.
And as for Byrnesā¦ if he is going to be our long-term centre-back, someone is going to have to have a word to him about protecting the full-back, he has a tendency to push very high up the pitch and leave space in behind.
Were in big trouble again lads. How that cunt hickey is next to near the team is insane. 3/6/9/11 are all in trouble.Hannon just about done enough but that is it a pass mark. McCarthy/Condon look like junior players. Brynes is ok but seriously flawed. Tom Morrissey is so fucking soft and so slow. Probably worse than seanie tobin. Cian Lynch like Hannon and 99 percent of the ard scoil ris graduates just float in and out of games whenever they want they never even dominate proceedings. Youāll get very little from Na Piarsigh team, Dowling for his frees, maybe ronan lynch and probably kevin downes but he must be 24 and on the team since heās 19 and has played one decent game. Badly need ciaran carey in as soon as possible.
Ronan would do a job for us this year in at corner forward imo. With the type of ball going into our forwards Mulās only chance is as an impact sub for me at this stage. Even though I hate saying that, other lads deserve a chance now given the way we lump it into the forwards.
Him and Seanie are hard done by, but itās not going to change under this management team.
Agree with your point re Brynes, it was mentioned a couple of times in the stands as well today. For me he isnāt the answer either at 6, but who else realistically do we have, is OāConnell up to it?
Good post Aristotle. Having said that CC would bring a passion unseen since Ritchie. That alone is worth an extra man. Whatever happens it needs to happen asap. Do we go into Cship with Tj? Should we chop him now? Itās all up in the air now, fucking chaos. The Nap lads coming back will create more confusion. The players let the county down badly today. Iām sure they feel like shit but today was the day of all days they had to win. Forlorn again.
Reminds me of my life. 
Lads talking about all irelands ffs we are 7/8th best team in the all ireland tipp, galway, waterford and kk are streets ahead of us. Dream fucking on lads.
Unless the players revolt in the coming days there is no chance of tj getting the road and you can be sure he wonāt resign.
Last thing Iād want to see is a player revolt.
No one wins in that situation.
This is true. Why do I put myself through this.
Weāve maybe 3 players that would make kks team from last year and theyād be more toss ups than actually being better than those on the kk side.
4 wins from 5 and a very winnable quarter final coming up against Dublin. Why on earth would he walk away?
We all do it every year, regardless
In fairness in this present era/present squad we have the physical capacity and skill to win AIās. We simply donāt have the brains for it, that being tactical nous but more importantly heart and belief. Non believers. That why CC would be good for us right now simply because I believe we have the minerals skillwise.
Instead of blowing another million quid on the hurlers we should give it to the footballers and see how they go. The hurlers have been given the best of everything for years with nothing to show for it. We tried , we failed , itās time to try something else
