Is Cox going to play midfield for us? Cause that's where we're in trouble, like I said before you could have 6 Coxs and it wouldn't matter coz the ball wouldn't be going in. Cox wouldn't be any good to us without the right balls. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 17/06/2019 11:49:16 2196356 Link 1 |

Born in Mayo...raised in Gortaganny Co.Roscommon. Like most Ros people are born in Galway/Mayo/Sligo/Westmeath cause of no maternity wing in the county hospital down the years.

He is an out and out Rossie now and no chance he will go back to Kerry who deemed him surplus to requirements. The very best of luck to this young man and hopefully he will have more great days in the Primrose and Blue. Like the GAA is full of Fathers sons playing for other counties : Dermot Early jnr played for Kildare...Coman Goggins dad was from Roscommon...Jiggers son playing for Donegal...O Se brothers dad from Kerry playing with Mayo moros (Roscommon) - Posts: 1080 - 18/06/2019 16:07:15 2197162 Link 0 |
Fine forward, however is it not midfield and tight marking defenders where Kerry have their problems? I know another top class forward is always welcome. BliainanÁir (Laois) - Posts: 598 - 18/06/2019 16:35:47 2197172 Link 1 |

Not that it's worth arguing over but he played his last year minors in 2010 and his last year U21 was in 2013 when he also made some appearances for the Kerry seniors. I don't know his D.O.B, I'm sure you can dig it out but going by the above his is going to be 27 this year at some stage.

Looking forward to playing this Roscommon side, they look decent. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8596 - 18/06/2019 21:17:44 2197326 Link 5 |

He could have been born in a leap year which is creating this confusion

'Cox wouldn't be any good to us without the right balls'. A dodgy turn of phrase, kingdom.

The thing is, he's twice the player James O'Donoghue is at the moment. The one season wonder JOD will score goals against Clare and Cork but will go hiding on the big day. Cox is a serious ball winner and can kick points for fun. As for your midfield, that's another issue. I'm glad you see that Griffin isn't the answer there.

Summer the whole football world know about James o Don he will go hiding when the going gets hard.. Yes conor Cox is playing out of his skin and his bulk is a big asset too him. But I am not sure if he had that bulk when he was with kerry. But he is gone now traleegerry (Kerry) - Posts: 738 - 19/06/2019 11:08:59 2197498 Link 2 |
What a load of nonsense this is. JOD has had injuries, he is a better player than Cox in every way I can think of if he could put that behind him. If he only had one season what has he two all stars as well as a POTY. What big games has he hidden in? GeniusGerry (Kerry) - Posts: 2105 - 19/06/2019 11:25:25 2197505 Link 7 |
Should have wrote the right balls going in to him :-0

Two big games off the top of my head The 2017 All Ireland semi final against Mayo - He was subsequently dropped for the replay Last year against Galway at Croke Park - He was subsequently dropped for the Monaghan game He hasn't scaled the heights of 2014 unfortunately. Note his two All Stars and POTY came in 2013 and 2014. His injuries may have affected him but I'd take Conor Cox over him now. summerof09 (Meath) - Posts: 315 - 19/06/2019 16:22:19 2197649 Link 0 |
The same Galway defence that couldn't cope with Conor Cox last Sunday.

Think the game has changed a bit in the last three or four years, we've seen most teams adopt blanket defenses or certainly have a defensive system to limit space. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 19/06/2019 17:32:13 2197681 Link 6 |
