Ya have it in for him. Did he spit in your cornflakes?

myboyblue · March 19, 2025, 11:44pm

Do many lads go around spitting in cornflakes?

Bisto · March 19, 2025, 11:56pm

The blue boy doesn’t spare a good few managers - Andy mcentee , mcgeeney,poacher, have regularly felt the wrath of the Laois man on here .

The blue boy band have great time for John kiely

myboyblue · March 20, 2025, 12:07am

Kiely is some man to be able to coral them fellas and make the Gaelic football coach feel important. Davy couldn’t manage it

I would certainly put McGeeney, Poacher and McEntee in the same category though.

Or Pigs to be dirty

myboyblue · March 20, 2025, 9:43am

Tbf the lads have proven they can’t either

Only the 7 county minors for Kilcormac Killoughey! - they are churning out some talent. Fletcher no 11 is a serious bit of stuff.

myboyblue · March 20, 2025, 9:34pm

Screeney the younger in the subs. He tore it up in the schools hurling a few weeks ago against Rathdowney or Mountrath I think.

Halfpipe · March 20, 2025, 9:39pm

I presume he is a son of the Tipp man coaching up here, and who coaches the K/K minors as well? If the son has the size to play centre forward he must have got it from the mother.

tonto · March 20, 2025, 9:40pm

Yep correct - a son of Trevor. I presume Liam England on the management team is Roscrea Liam.

Fagan_ODowd · March 20, 2025, 9:59pm

I presume no 15 is a relation of Kevin? Did the Whelehans, Pilkingtons, Dooleys, Troy’s produce no male issue?

Bisto · March 20, 2025, 10:02pm

Shane Dooley

tonto · March 20, 2025, 10:03pm

Joe Dooley’s son Shane was a very good hurler for a number of years for Offaly.

There was a new generation of Pilkingtons and Whelahan’s that have hurled for Birr in recent years - decent hurlers but not in the same standard as the 80/90s generation

endakenny · March 20, 2025, 10:03pm

Brian has a son called Aaron who played a bit with Birr, I think they are focusing on the grandson now.

Bisto · March 20, 2025, 10:05pm

Big daithi Regan had a young lad on the fringes of provincial rugby team a few years ago , Ulster i think
