Good aul Johnny Barr .. "there'll be no cows milked in Finglas tonight" ..

I had to hurl with the Isles when things went títs up in Ballymun .. I'm not proud of it

I remember an auld fella from Erin's Isle after a Dublin match telling me that Johnny Barr was a better footballer then Kieth Barr.
But Johnny Barr's problem was that he was too much of a "head case".

They must've been training a new fella in the day that Donnachadh Walsh passed the QA test in the football factory.

This is 3 time All Ireland medal and current All Star Donnachadh Walsh yeah?

I've seen some ****e spouted down the years, but if Donnachadh Walsh is now apparently a laughing stock when it comes to natural footballers then this really takes the biscuit.

This guy is IMO the second best footpasser on the Kerry team behind Cooper. He's as natural a footballer as they come. Not to mention the intelligence to get himself in behind the defence to create goal scoring opportunities. Check out who lays the ball on for JOD for his first goal in the 2013 Semi Final, thanks to a great run and pass.

All of this on tip of bursting his bollox tracking back etc.

Silly argument in the first place, but an absolutley ignorant choice of player to target.

Kerry are probably more "wristy" than us now too. So that means we're doubly screwed.

It's natural, only your father can pass that on, you can't train that into a fella.

He's a poor man's Paul Flynn. Just like Alan Brogan is a poor man's C Cooper.

Some people have a terrible way with words, but still make valid points.

I think it's just Brolly and his need to have a favourite team that gets up people's noses. He likes Cian O'Sullivan because he's a sweeper, he loves sweepers, his second favourite player is C Cavanagh another sweeper. The more sweepers you play the better you are. He says some stupid things about players but dusts it with enough truth to make it niggle.

Donegal are off his radar now. The boys in kerry are his new love but he's been making eyes at Tyrone since the games vs kerry last year.

Only watched that last night, great goal. I'd no luck finding clips of Joe McNally scoring goals.

He has a favourite team, but also seems to take some enjoyment from it when said team lose. He's laying it on thick about Kerry and Tyrone now, but if they get beaten later in the year, I'm sure he'll be ready to get the boot in.

Bonnie .. ever have the pleasure of stick fighting or playing football mortal kombat with Liffey Gaels ?

I did indeed, back in the early nineties in my much more youthful days. You know the days when a blitz was a blitz and running full pelted into the square was all the skill we had as 8 yos.

Fair play to the groundsman he got a vice grips and tore it (and a chunk of my palm) out :eek:

Touche sir. Touche.

It's a well known fact that the hacks trawl discussion boards to uncover speculative rumour PD .. I think you're the author of our destruction .. you gave him the bone he put the meat on it

Wake up lads. FFS.

Mayo 1-07 Dublin 0-04. HT. Horrible performance.

Absolute disgraceful referring,handing the game too Mayo with as easy a free as you could hope for,in the last minute of the game. Credit too the lads though,a great fightback too make what turned out too be a great game,only for it too be ruined by a inept referee and all that after being 6 down at the break.

Mayo 1-14 Dublin 1-13.
