Durcan?
Harsh.

Ya and a stupid and ignorant thread. All Ireland winners get there for a reason. It’s funny, most of them are of the stocky build variety. Must go against Sids utopic image of what a good Gaelic footballer must look like.
Stupid thread.

Disrespectful. But I doubt they care with a medal in the pocket.

We’re all a little sensitive here. Not sure why All Ireland winners should be exempt from criticism.
I’d have given serious consideration to Keith Galvin.

because its the GAA, heart and soul, community, " i suppose…" etc, bollux
i was slaughtered as well for my " famous gay sportspeople" , “sportspeople (preferably Irish) who have convictions for sexual assualt” and " if a TFK poster was in prison what crime would it be for" threads… the very same cunts then who’ll go all high and mighty here on their moral horse over threads like these have no problem then posting other vile abuse in different guises in other threads…
anyway,
later ill have a go at a XV since 1988 as that really is the extent of my memory,
surely a 1988-2013 team couldnt ignore Eoghan O’Gara ( who famously won a prize on FM104’s Strawberry AlarmClock to play football for Dublin in 2011) and Mike Hassett from Kerry

He was given serious consideration, as were Tony Nation and Colm O’Neill, but I felt I’d leave out any Cork players for fear that Kev might explode.
The thread is of course intended to be disrespectful and ignorant.

in that period there were some utterly crap football championships : 1992, 1997 and 2004 being particularly shit with teams like Fermanagh, Cavan ,Offaly and Clare getting to the semi finals
if i could pick one id say 2004, an atrociously boring championship Fermanagh beat Cork, westmeath beat Laois in a Leinster final and we had one of the worst all ireland semi finals in living memory when mayo drew with fermanagh.
worst all ireland final by a street however was the all first all british affair in 2003 between Armagh and Tyrone. honourable mentions for the Kerry / Mayo affairs in 1997, 2004 and 2006
actually i personally attended a number of shit all ireland semi finals
1990 - cork 0-17 Roscommon 0-11 - " the shot from Tony Macmanus and the point by Tony Macmanus"
Roscommon were a joke team, Gay Shearin was in goals with Paul Earley also involved
1993- cork 5-15 Mayo 0-11 - this was the era of Jacko getting Mayo to lift cars around parking lots… enough said
Ger Spillane
Tony Nation
Ciaran Whe…oh wait

And this against amateur forum posters who are giving up their free time to contribute here and don’t receive a penny in return.
And all we get is disrespectful and hurtful personal abuse from Kev.
Didn’t we have a thread on this. I think KIB man started it and called it Unsung Heroes despite not realising what an Unsung Hero actually is
No. An unsung hero is somebody who makes a valuable contribution without getting the credit they deserve.
This thread is about shit players who got lucky.

I agree with your definition. KIB set up the thread about the worst players to win an All Ireland yet for some reason called it the Unsung Heroes thread

There are absolutely no shit players in that team.
You suggest Colm O Neill? The older one who scores 11 points against Kerry one day or the younger one who is considered one of the best in the game?
