The Battle for Sam 2009

Cant believe he’s only 30…!

Kerry’s quest to rebuild momentum after last Saturday’s heavy Munster football semi-final replay defeat to Cork looks set to include Mike McCarthy, the former All-Ireland winning full back who retired in 2006.

McCarthy has continued to play some outstanding club football with Kilcummin, at centre back, and has also being playing soccer with Castleisland in the Kerry District League. It appears manager Jack O’Connor has enticed him back to the Kerry set-up and, though now aged 30, his return will go some way towards improving Kerry’s defensive troubles, particularly with injury worries over Aidan O’Mahony who has damaged his shoulder.

Jesus this is a shock. Things are bad if they need him back. Had slowed considerably 2 years ago, although he’s supposed to be flying for the club.

Roscommon are getting absolutely destroyed here. 10 points down after 14 minutes!

Whoever’s doing the in-running in PP was sleeping there when the penalty got awarded!!!

myboyblue · June 20, 2009, 4:21pm

Where does this leave Leitrim?

myboyblue · June 20, 2009, 4:25pm

This is ridiculous…17 points down after 23 mins

RTE should have shown the hurling, shower of cunts, a bad hurling match is more often than not better than a good football match

padjo · June 20, 2009, 4:39pm

After the muck played by limerick and Waterford last week they are lucky rte are showing them on the web…

Thrawneen · June 20, 2009, 4:40pm

Absolutely. Stupid decision. A hiding of the magnitude Roscommon are receiving has no place on the television, pre-watershed, anyway.

The_Puke · June 20, 2009, 4:40pm

They are setting the record staight today

padjo · June 20, 2009, 4:41pm

Whats the score in the football lads? sounds grim

The_Puke · June 20, 2009, 4:43pm

3-10 to a point

Thrawneen · June 20, 2009, 4:43pm

3-10 to 0-01 says Aertel but that’s probably from about 20 mins ago. I’ll go turn on the tv.

W_B_Yeats · June 20, 2009, 4:55pm

Rossie lads are leaving at half time
Even bigger cunts than I thought they were

myboyblue · June 20, 2009, 4:58pm

Fair play to them for lasting til half time.

Bandage · June 20, 2009, 5:06pm

Jesus Christ, went out for an hour and just turned it on. 40 minutes gone and it’s being played at walking pace.

The_Puke · June 20, 2009, 5:29pm

Mayo now winning 3-17 to 0-06

myboyblue · June 20, 2009, 5:42pm

Shocking stuff. Credit Mayo, but you could tell nothing from that. Two big fellas in the FF line will be a handful for any county.

Connacht football eh…

anon67715551 · June 20, 2009, 5:57pm

I can fookin’ tell you MBB that we wouldn’t have lain down like them useless shower of despicable coonts.
Not an effort at a tackle - looked like junior footballers at best. Not even the guts to make a belt at anyone.
Cunts all of them…

Any word yet from that Mancunian cunt Junior Rossie? He was sharp out of the blocks the last evening…Bastards.

The_Puke · June 20, 2009, 6:02pm

Would lay Mayo big time in the Connaught final, have had two cake walks against New York and Roscommon, nowhere near championship pace

anon67715551 · June 20, 2009, 6:40pm

Agree there Puke. Still persisting with Trevor Mortimer, now at c/h/f. Wouldn’t score in a brothel. Galway (won’t be caught by Sligo again) will cope with them.
