After the first 10 mins of the U21s semifinal we outscored Galway 2:09 to 1:06 . we were wiped out at midfield and with only about 25% possession at midfield we only lost by 4 points. Those are the facts you can like them or lump them. As for red thumbs! They don't bother me and I don't take them personally . I do enjoy your obsession with all things Kerry though as it shows you care. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 25/05/2017 22:39:07 1990854 Link 0 |

I don't think you understand the words 'coincidence' or 'amazing'.

No, you appear to have picked me up wrong. People who say we lose players all the time to other sports are omitting the fact that those players are still representing us whether it be Munster Rugby or Ireland soccer team. I wish any young lad heading off the world of luck and genuine hope of success, like I've said before I fear the likes of Clifford or O Connor will likely be back in a few years and be a shadow of their former selves. Please don't use Kennellys All Ireland as a rebuttal, he's the only one, Marty Clarke and Tommy Walsh more apt.

If Mark O'Connor plays with Ireland against Oz in the compromise rules will that make you happy? That is his only opportunity to represent ireland anyway. Not of course that should make a difference here. Should we shun horse racing folk because they don't represent Ireland? These are Irish guys going to play another sport abroad - like the soccer players. According to you it is perfectly fine to wish the soccer players well because they can still play with an Ireland (and bear in many, many Irish born players in England don't get the chance) team but it is wrong for a guy to take up an opportunity to play a sport that he can potentially do well in just because that sport doesn't give you an opportunity to scream at the TV????? bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 26/05/2017 08:53:00 1990895 Link 1 |

JamesieMac Marty Clarke in my opinion has been the only natural footballer that went to OZ and came back from OZ a natural footballer after spending a considerable amount of time over there. I don't say it was Aussie Rules that messed him up more his illness. All others Tommy Walsh, Tadhg Kennelly , A Toal lad with Armagh (i think) and many more came back where a duck looked a more natural kicker of the ball than them! woops (Kerry) - Posts: 2073 - 26/05/2017 09:03:17 1990897 Link 2 |

Tommy Walsh got injured. Tadgh Kennelly won an All-Ireland with Kerry. Zach Tuohy has come back and played with PortLaoise. Michael Shields came back and won an All-Ireland with Cork. Ciran Kilkenny came back and won an All_ireland with Kilkenny. Michael Quinn, Brendan Murphy have come back and fitted it and become as good as any players on their team.

How about Mark O'Connor's view on all of this. He is speaking to Australian paper of course - if anybody can post a link to him saying that he hates being out there and would rather be back in Dingle - say if he was speaking to the Kerry man - then please post it: bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 26/05/2017 10:21:31 1990919 Link 1 |

Zach Tuohy only plays the County Final every year with Portlaoise which they'd win without him anyway, 9 times out of 10.

I should add that you are most likely right that their skill set for Gaelic football does change somewhat. That is inevitable. After all, it is a different sport with only some commonalities. I would not describe their kicking skills as you have done. It is a tad unfair. My point (and that of MesAmis) is that players can come back and fit in just fine. They may even bring some different skills and knowledge back with them. A possibilty that should not be ignored.

Wasn't Toal. Kevin Dyas was the Armagh player
