    Club. Connolly isn't even one of the top 6 forwards in Dublin, never mind the frankly bewildering eulogising of this show pony as somehow the best in Ireland. He's a luxury player. Grand for shooting the lights out against Westmeath and Laois or bringing off the bench to keep the soccer crowd on Hill 16 entertained if the Dubs are 10 points up but he has never failed to go hiding (or get himself sent off) against good opposition when the Dubs are under pressure.

    Ah stop. The Dubs have flaws but Connolly is pure class.

    I could get in a trollish dig of my own, about flaky, under performing golden boys, the ones who don't have Celtic crosses in their arse pocket. But I am far too Zen for that. Apart from the milk situ. Bo0ll0x to that anyway !

    Ah more for the Mayo dressing room wall. Hope you're gracious in defeat.

    I am sure all the players and management are glued to Boards wondering what people are saying...

    If this Mayo team give a shiney shyte about what I think, you've a lot more to be worried about than I do. Would you like a nice cup of tea to settle the nerves? Powered milk, ok? ;)

    Never said they did. No nerves here. Sure we are massive underdogs against a bunch of supermen. Pressure all on yourselves and all self-inflicted. Is asking me do i want powdered milk an insult or something?

    Not an ounce of pressure on us at all. Ne'er a drop. Donegal 2014 was a watershed moment in many ways.

    No at this point a Mayo victory is actually a possible result, believe it or not.

    So? You implied that a Mayo supporter seeing the possibility of victory as a slight worthy of the Dublin dressing room wall. In a thread where Mayo players when compared with their Dublin counterparts as "Bench fodder", "sunshine boys", "perennial chokers". Hence my point which is perfectly valid. The Dubs are in complete 2014 overconfidence mode, great to see.

    As for your previous posts, as if i am reading back to follow your train of thought :pac:

    I really dont think Boards would leave someone with such clear reading comprehension issues in charge of who contributes what in a thread. So i think i'll disregard the above.

    epitomised by the most overrated, flaky sunshine boy of them all in Diarmuid Connolly. Now Connolly might make me eat my words on Sunday but seeing as his late point against Kerry was the first time he ever did anything against a top team in a tight championship game I doubt it.

    Jaysus you really don't get banter at all do you? :(

    To sum up our little conversation

    you "Mayo victory is actually a possible result, believe it or not"


    Me "I very much believe that Mayo could win"

    You "The Dubs are in complete 2014 overconfidence mode, great to see"



    p.s. wasn't it a Dub who was called a "sunshine boy" ?

    It was indeed. Connolly ( a.k.a. AN Other or Anonny Moose when it comes to games that matter). I think by "banter" you mean what the typical Dub has always loved to dish out but has a hissy fit (or worse) if given.

    At least these two are giving a bit of entertainment to the thread :D

    I only hope they are gracious losers/winners come Sunday evening

    There'll be nothing gracious about me if we win on Sunday - I'll be the lad with the Guinness stains on his shirt and the pants round his ankles.

    Definitely won't be on here though.

    People talking about Connolly and saying he's not a good player and doesn't perform in big games.

    Only two types of people would type that on a forum:

    1. A WUM
    2. People who actually haven't a clue about football.

    Ah God bless us, somebody doesn't worship at the altar of "Dermo", burn him at the stake he's a "troll", a "wum". Nobody said he doesn't have talent,if there was a GAA equivalent of the Haarlem Globetrotters he'd be the first name on my team.

    Won't go into the list of them but the 2013 Semi Final he made a huge difference. Just as an example
