If you think Drake is capable of facing the likes of Geaney, Clifford, Comer or any of the Dublin forwards, then I can only hope that your real name is not James Horan. Drake has had more than enough chances at intercounty level and is neither good enough, fast enough, skillful enough, strong enough or have the ability to be considered for further selection. It's time to cut some players from the panel who are never going to make the grade. Drake should be one of those cuts (but whether he will depends on how much his brother in law can influence that decision).

He keeps being brought on as some auxiliary forward which is not his position.

Given your club allegiance, there's a strong possibility that you either know the guy or are related to him so I will respect that, but you must acknowledge that it is influencing your opinion. FYI He has been played in defence before and been absolutely skinned for pace.

BandMember wrote: » Isn't Connacht a kinda "fixed" draw in terms of the teams who go to NY and London being diverted through a certain path? I would thought that with us going to NY next year that we'd be getting one of Leitrim/Ros/Sligo with Galway on the other side of things? Maybe it's changed this year, but I'll guess that we'll find out tonight.

While the late night under lights might be good in some ways, doesn't it make it very difficult for parents with kids to justify going to support their club? 1. Its late when the game starts so very late when you get back home (depending on travelling times etc) 2. It's generally far colder than earlier in the day. Personally, I think these late kickoffs make it far more difficult for the younger supporters and younger players etc who are the future of the game, get to watch their clubs in action in the biggest games. Is there a reason so many of the later games are on so late?
