    For all Kerry's greatestness in GAA they contribute nothing else to sport in Ireland. I can't think of one international football player to represent Ireland who was ever from Kerry for example. They are an insular county, only interested in themselves and looking out for there fellow countyman. Come to think of it this can apply to other areas of life. I went to a school in Dublin were 80% of the teachers where from Kerry and was it any surprise that the principal was a Kerryman:rolleyes:

    Eh... what? Are you jealous or just bitter? And by "international football player" do you mean soccer or do you just not know who Tadhg Kennelly is?

    What a silly troll you are. Did you watch Kerry yesterday, all the kids watching the gooch putting his neck on the line for the chance of a goal, this is a great example for them. Funnily enough i had a teacher from Dingle when i was in school.

    What a strange bitter little post?

    I would ask are you from Cork- but you seem to be a Dub.

    Kerry sportsman- Mick Galway for one.

    Kerry men contributing to life in General - Daniel O'Connell.

    I mean what's your point here?

    I mean really, were all of Hitler's ideas completely without merit? Because the case for eugenics grows stronger by the thread.

    Aha- Nice to see a man prefering second generation English people with Irish grannies to one of the greatest sporting traditioned counties in Ireland.

    Well, jealousy my friends won't help. You're just going to have to accept your own poor lot and move on.

    No I wouldn't be bothered watching the untidy, messy, 'lets change the rules every year', amateurish, 'so crap, It'll never ever become a global game' sport of GAA. But all I hear on the radio and read in the newspaper today is Kerry kings of the football, blah blah blah. Not one of those 'great' players could apply themselves to professional football (SOCCER).

    What about hurling, an infinitely more skilful and physical sport than those diving prima-donna's in the Premiership?
