FRESHERS FOOTBALL TEAM - OPEN TO ALL??

tennessee time

a mate of mine was saying when he tried to sign up the coach or whoever the sign up guy is was acting the prick and said if ya hadnt played county there wasnt much point signing up last year, anyone know if this goes on ,

i know dit got to the sigerson final recently but its a stupid idea only going for county players cos its pretty handy play underage county for some of the smaller counties whereas theres tons of decent players who never played county in counties like kerry, cork, mayo etc....


anyone know if its true that this happens?? and is their only pitch at grangegorman?? - cos that place is a joke

Not in the College but know the trainer v.well. (not a prick by the way :P)
The freshers team is quite tough to get on and unless you're Minor Intercounty, theres not much hope of making the A team. There are trials though, so even if you aren't a county minor you'll still get to prove you're good enough. However there is a Fresher B team who play the same amount of matches and any fresher gets on that team.

B team it is then :P

but minor intercounty in some of the leinster counties (no offence) isnt any real indication of any great talent, ive seen longford county minors who would not make ordinary minor club teams in kerry, plus the politicised nature of some of these minor panels make them less about talent and more about which club the selectors are from, fair enough if there are trials but from what my mate said the coach really put him off so he just said f**c that and didnt bother going

Ha well thats his own problem. And by the way even if you wern't Intercounty Minor but from Kerry you'd be looked at in a favourable light... trust me. We might not be talking about the same coach, but the senior Coach is from Kerry and has a v.good knowlege of Munster football.

Er, lads I think its the GAA team rather then Soccer team.
Maybe ye know that, but Wingers and Strikers have put me off slightly.

lads be clear if ur talkin bout gaa or soccer! with d gaa everybody gets a shot panel is not made for bout a month so everybody has a chance nd tat includes 3 or 4 games where not everbody will be allowed play all games so everybody gets a shot to prove temselves! definitely got d wrong idea frm ur mate cos manager is far frm a prick! i help a gud bit wit d gaa nd will probably be doin d stand myself in bolton st! tere is 2 fresher teams nd ne1 who wants to play will be let play! trust me if u give ur number to d gaa u will be hounded to play trust me ive had to turn off y fone many a time to get away frm them for assignments! but yes most county players r on fresher a team but many ppl who avent played county get on it too! we also run gaa nites out lik out at d dogs in harolds cross nd an all ireland 7s competiton where u represent ur own county a real fun day

Neal_B

Right, well I was definitely talking about football (please don't make me say soccer....)

Mickeyie05

soccer so? yes id agree i didnt like tat soccer lad myself he says tat every yr said d same to me didnt bother goin to d trial

tennessee time

ok i was talking about gaelic football then in the op (see i mentioned sigerson) - for all you sensitive soccer types afraid to say soccer ,

heard the soccer team are even more exclusive than the gaelic team, its what bugs people when they hear s.u knobs say " get involved- join a team " blah blah - ok for example my favourite sport is soccer but the college team dont even have trials and are a closed club as far as new players are concerned - how the f**k do i get involved then???
