Kerry folk on here hadn't a whole lot to do with it Brisbane.

It's our former manager and management team that have to take responsibility for not picking him.

They were too loyal to the old guys I was surprised they didn't try and bring the bomber and Mikey Sheehy out of retirement to be honest.

Anyway I was talking to a guy last night who said Conor is now living and working in athlone so his life is up there now .

What injury does James O'Donoghue have now? no more than our own Ultan Harney it seems he has little luck regards to injuries.


Had a good chat with Conor on Sunday, the one thing that strike you when talking to him is he doesn't have much of Kerry accent. He's more than delighted to be playing for his dads county but i suppose it helps when you excel v two established Div 1 teams in Galway,Mayo and win a provincial medal.

It's the hamstring supposedly but I thought it looked like he was holding his calf muscle when it happened.

I think it's s hamstring or something with JOD now. From what I have been told he could play if needed but they are just not going to risk him.

Replying To summerof09:  "An argument on a different thread.

IMO Conor Cox is better than James O'Donoghue at the moment. We seen what Conor Cox can do for Roscommon last Sunday. What exactly has JOD offered Kerry in the last four years? He couldn't hold down his place the past two seasons. Regularly taken off in big games for not firing. He has had his injury problems I know. What do you think?

Who would you rather in your full forward line for a game this weekend?"
King Dermo! These two boys can carry his boots to the dressing room for him!

Oh my god, opinions by ignorant people. If you are a kerry Gaa man, watching intercounty, comparing Legion and Emmetts, Legion and Feale Rangers, Kerry juniors compared with Kerry seniors well then there is only one answer.

I'm a North Kerry man and ten minutes drive from Listowel so have seen Cox play on numerous occasions and played with and against the Listowel man. Sorry lads but you are comparing a greyhound with a terrier, a racehorse with a nag or a Lamborghini with a fiat.

James all the way lads and not many Kerry folk outside Emmetts will disagree.

Cox is fine as the main man in the Rossies but in Kerry he wouldn't be the main man and that mantle is the difference
