Great price for brigids. I was at the game on Sunday. Franky was superb and in my opinion Seaman kilbribe is the best forward in the province. sxckev (Mayo) - Posts: 211 - 21/10/2014 21:38:27 1665983 Link 0 |
while frankie is a good forward to compare him to dessie is a joke . dessie dolan in my opinion has been the best westmeath player along mickcunningham (Westmeath) - Posts: 1806 - 22/10/2014 11:53:13 1666060 Link 0 |
Rubbish Mick Frankie is a better footballer then Dessie. To say that Frankie is a good club player only shows how little you know. ros1 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1211 - 22/10/2014 20:10:25 1666276 Link 0 |
Frankie was a very good footballer and is still quality. But his own disciplinary problems surely let himself and his county down. Is a club or county not better of with a less talented but more disciplined and dedicated player who puts his life on hold for the jersey? I know in Roscommon he not only divides opinion but even within Brigids supporters. He's a loose cannon. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7369 - 22/10/2014 20:35:35 1666287 Link 0 |
I'd agree that Frankie was more talented than Dessie, but talent is worth little if you dont use it. Ban (Westmeath) - Posts: 1415 - 22/10/2014 21:17:38 1666306 Link 0 |
Frankie and Dessie Dolan were good players in their prime but Joe was better than the two of them mike03 (Limerick) - Posts: 2000 - 23/10/2014 08:23:50 1666323 Link 0 |

Franky has 10 county titles, 3 Connaught club title, 1 senior all Ireland club title. I am not sure about his inter county record. But this comparison between chalk and cheese, ye are not comparing like with like. Regardless of their disciplinary record, I would pick Franky 10 out 10 times if I had the choice between each. sxckev (Mayo) - Posts: 211 - 23/10/2014 20:12:58 1666686 Link 0 |
I gave up on this thread when the poster insulted a great club from Clare, silly thread. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7907 - 23/10/2014 20:21:00 1666689 Link 0 |
ROS, your definition of a team player is different to mine. Sorting out his disciplinary problens and therefore playing more games for the team makes for a good team player. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7369 - 23/10/2014 21:07:20 1666706 Link 0 |

A very good player who despite his antics in the past, I was glad to see win the Club All Ireland. Maybe its a pity for him he was playing for Roscommon during those turbulant years where off field activities got the better of them. If he was coming into his prime now in a more settled, mature and hard working Roscommon team he might have been better placed to make a bigger impact on the inter county scene. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11237 - 24/10/2014 09:08:43 1666748 Link 0 |
why write of cratloe ? ...because they play football in clare ?? HurlerOnTheFenc (Mayo) - Posts: 282 - 24/10/2014 10:06:54 1666759 Link 0 |
Green and red he has missed very few games for brigids because of been suspended so that point is ridiculous, he has had one red card in a long number of years. Hurleronthefence i think rosfan point was brigids are a lot more proven then cratloe, Brigids are aiming for there eight Connacht final in 10 years, have won 4 Connacht titles including 3 of the last 4 and have been in 2 of the last 4 all Ireland finals. As for what county the play in the have beaten quite a few Mayo champions along the way. I hope a team from outside Kerry/Cork win Munster and if that is Cratloe then good luck to them. ros1 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1211 - 24/10/2014 13:59:41 1666867 Link 0 |
Frankie Dolan is no where near Dessies level. The only games people mention are 2 qualifiers when he scored 10 points and then 8 points(5 more in extra time but that's not a fair comparison). Dessie performed in the biggest day ever for westmeath in the leinster final, and his all ireland u21 medal. And even an All-Star. But sure Frankies a great club player... square_ball_69 (Westmeath) - Posts: 826 - 24/10/2014 18:20:25 1666960 Link 0 |
Frankie is a fine talent, and at it a long time. JayP (Dublin) - Posts: 1772 - 24/10/2014 18:26:41 1666963 Link 0 |
Square ball frankie was a key part in ros winnoing a under 21 Connacht and a senior connacht title. Roscommon also got to 3 divison 1 semi finals around that time, he played in an all ireland junior final for Ros. I would suggest you would look at his point to win the All ireland for brigids it might make you stop talking rubbish. ros1 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1211 - 25/10/2014 14:52:40 1667099 Link 0 |
Jay p to say Kildare and Offaly were useless is rubbish, that Kildare team were the most successful Kildare team in the last 80 years with some of the best players that has ever played for Kildare, the had narrowly lost the Leinster final which was there third final in four years. That offaly team of that period were the most successful team of the last 30 years with some of there best players of that period and had drawn with the eventual Leinster champs Laois. You also forget the six points he scored against Cork or the 1-3 against Kerry. It was a disgrace that he was not given an all star that year, especially when you see players to did not have a good of a year as him getting an all star Declan Browne for example. Declan was a great player but he got an all star due to his higher media profile and the day Frankie was beating offaly, Browne played in a game in croker where Tipp got hammered out the gate in the first half and Donegal eased off in the second half and scored a number of scores but Donegal still won by 10 points. Tipp played 4 matches that year the only games the won were against Waterford and Carlow. ros1 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1211 - 25/10/2014 16:02:40 1667105 Link 0 |
