Tipp minors won an all ireland football minor, all through hard work. Millions into dublin underage hurling and they cant win an all ireland. Laughable.
[QUOTE=“Il Bomber Destro, post: 1061703, member: 2533”]Yeah, the game was played with zero intensity in a 80% empty stadium. It reminded me of the quarter finals Kerry have been involved with in the last two years against Cavan and Galway, no real intensity to the match at all. How would he do when there is something at stake against good opposition? Which brings me back to what I’ve been saying, there is too much unknowns to back it up, Paddy Bradley has been there and done it, so have the likes of Dolan and Forde.
For a defender that is so highly regarded, Moynihan seems to have taken some roastings over the years.[/QUOTE]
So what high intensity games has bradley done it in?
Its Declan Browne not Brown. So essentially you’re passing judgment on a footballer you know nothing about and never saw play.

What did Declan Browne ever do?[/QUOTE]
Supposedly hailing from Armagh, no doubt you were in Croke Park for the Qualifier double header in 2003 featuring Donegal v Tipperary and Armagh v Dublin. There was a lot of quality forwards playing that afternoon - Adrian Sweeney (who you’ve been bigging up), Brendan Devenney, Colm McFadden, Alan Brogan, Steven McDonnell, Diarmuid Marsden and Oisin McCoville. Declan Browne was my some distance the outstanding forward on display that afternoon and delivered one of the greatest point kicking performances I have ever seen in Croke Park swinging them over left and right from all angles.
The Ulster Championship which unlike any of the other provincial championships is all on the day.
boggers do well at bogger sports, so what?
So you’re saying that Tipp minor team had no talent?
Im asking seriously
No just no money, compared to the gym monkeys in dublin anyway. you called tipp football shite above so you cant have rated them too highly.
I’m answering seriously.
Ah I wouldn’t worry too much about it as plenty of that team already have All-Ireland senior medals and most of them have two All-Ireland under-21 medals. Where are those Tipp players now? Nowhere, that’s where, because Tipp football is shite and will remain so.
Do you still play the basketball SG?

Maybe the question that should be asked is what did Paddy Bradley ever do?
Considering Derry won an All Ireland U21 in 1997, All Ireland Minor in 2002 and St Pat’s Maghera were All Ireland Colleges Champions in 1995 and 2003, there were any number of good footballers off various different teams knocking around in Derry which a supposed star player like Bradley should have moulded into perennial All Ireland Championship contenders during the noughties. The only performance of any consequence you’ve mentioned in support of these claims of greatness you’re advancing on his behalf was a qualifier against Monaghan. He featured in one Ulster Final at the very start of his career back in 2000 and Derry are still in their longest rut at senior championship level since their breakthrough Ulster title in 1958.
For a fellow who was arguing here only a week that the only thing that mattered in assessing the worth of a player were performances in All Ireland semi finals and finals, you’re not making much of a case for Paddy Bradley.
Like Dublin hurling, without the millions of euro squandered.

Tipp footballers have done none of the following over the past four years, or indeed over the past 90:
i) won a provincial title
ii) won a National League title
iii) reached two All-Ireland semi-finals
Dublin will have won at least five All-Ireland senior hurling titles before Tipp beat Kerry or Cork in a championship football match.
Bomber’s definition of success and honours in gaelic football has changed radically within the space of a week as the thread moves from discussing Sean Armstrong of Galway to discussing a former Derry footballer - Paddy Bradley.
[QUOTE=“Manuel Zelaya, post: 1058799, member: 377”]It should also be noted that alongside his man of the match performance in the 2005 U21 final and a huge performance in Salthill’s club final win over St Gall’s, Sean Armstrong also delivered a man of the match performance scoring 3 points from play in Connacht’s Railway Cup Final win back in February bridging a 45 year gap stretching back to Connacht’s last win in 1969. An All Ireland U21 winner, an All Ireland Club winner, Connacht Senior Championship winner, Railway Cup winner - that’s an array of medals that any footballer would be proud of. Its just that senior All Ireland medal that eluded him.

Dublin must have a raft of big signings lined up in the January transfer window?

Dublin’s 6 All Ireland hurling titles were won back in the days when the residency rule was still on the books and players had to line out in the county of their residence. Those 6 Dublin All Ireland winning teams featured just one native born Dub, Jim Byrne on their most recent All Ireland winning team of 76 years ago in 1938. Its worth noting that Tipperary have beaten Cork three times in Championship football since Dublin last won an All Ireland senior hurling title.
Bomber is a wum. And this is another ulstercentric wu.
2 quick points,
Fella’s taking @Il Bomber Destro 's bait. :rolleyes:
Declan Browne was class, end of.
