Wow wow wow I never said I didn't rate him, Kerry posters don't rate is what I said. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 04/08/2016 11:31:20 1895288 Link

No mention of "Vinny's Gonna Get You", 2001 All Ireland quarter first game, what an impact Brewster 04, was unbelievable too I always thought Jody Devine for Meath had his moments coming off the bench too keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 04/08/2016 11:41:23 1895300 Link

Jason O'Reilly for Cavan (retired a while now), also Mike Frank Russell was a bit of a Solskjaer and looked like him too. Both players from '97 when we were in our last All Ireland semi #starvedofsuccess Reformation (Cavan) - Posts: 356 - 04/08/2016 12:00:28 1895318 Link

Replying To clondalkindub: "Kev Mac greatest sub of all time there can't be any arguments. Mate half the Kerry posters wouldn't have Barry John Keane on there panel never mind being a sub or starting , they don't really rate him down there." I can't believe I'm agreeing with you either clondalkin but you 100% right, bjk is a decent club player but I wouldn't say he's one of the top ten forwards in Kerry. Like someone else mentioned he's a great man to come on and score when the game is over. Also have to agree with hermit there are better U21 forwards that should be given the chance.

Kevin McManamon is great off the bench, I will never forgive him for the damage he did to us a couple of times from that position. If Kerry meet the Dubs at the end of August I hope he is starting the game, guaranteed he will do SFA. BJK looks fantastic coming off the bench against a tired Clare or Tipp team who have already given up but the management clearly don't rate him as a starter. As somebody else already said there are absolutely cracking younger players in Kerry that should be getting some championship experience at this stage rather than BJK. Maurice Fitz and Peter Canavan were very effective off the bench in the 00's for Kerry and Tyrone. GeniusGerry (Kerry) - Posts: 2105 - 04/08/2016 12:52:04 1895393 Link
Seamus Darby didn't do too bad in 82! cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5012 - 04/08/2016 13:26:36 1895443 Link
KEVIN McMANAMON - Best sub by some distance in term of impact, strong, direct and intelligent. He is always capable of getting key scores CHRISTY TOYE - A brave warrior, leads by example by breaking a tackle and usually registers a point or two B J KEANE - Oppurtunistic forward, usually introduced when his team is leading and helps himself to 2-3 points in the last quarter. Lost some respect when he ran some distance to sneakily kick the ball off the kicking tee over the end line in the closing minutes of the 2014 AI final. Got yellow carded for delaying a crestfallen Paul Durkan kicking the ball out after he had gifted the game to Kerry (even my Kerry cousins weren't impressed by that).

Replying To Mullerm: "Jody Devine was best ever super sub followed by Maurice Fitz in 2000" Yeah, Jody did the business on many occasion. especially against Kildare seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2145 - 04/08/2016 14:15:08 1895523 Link
Replying To Liamwalkinstown: "Kevin Mc is THE best sub I have ever seen. Won 2 all irelands on the back of his impact in finals." Mc's 2011 impact was incredible, pulled a semifinal from the fire and then pulled the final from the fire, should have been POTY BlastCalyle (Mayo) - Posts: 206 - 04/08/2016 14:20:47 1895532 Link
You should put in the proviso outside of Dublin as they would have the best 10-15 substitute players in Ireland. They'd be starters for any other team KYTitletown (Kerry) - Posts: 816 - 04/08/2016 14:37:16 1895552 Link

BJK would be starter in any other county. His father will be next kerry manager. Might get a look in then Mullerm (Cork) - Posts: 87 - 04/08/2016 17:41:27 1895771 Link
Bjk wouldnt get near our squad. He is defo not a "kerry quality" forward Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 04/08/2016 19:50:04 1895846 Link

Was at game and Kerry supporters beside us were not impressed. Huge respect for KMcM. Must grate on him at times that he doesn't make starting team. Never lets it effect him, but most importantly never lets it effect the team. Probably Gavin's biggest attribute is his man management skills in such situations.

Replying To CroiGorm: "You're consistent, I'll give you that." Bjk wouldnt get near our squad. Yes consistently honest, lets look at what Liam said and I agree totally. So which Kerry sub would get in the Dublin bench. In fact, how many Kerry players would make the Dublin XV and panel? No more than 3 or 4 on the panel which highlights the size of the enormous task we face on Aug 28 KYTitletown (Kerry) - Posts: 816 - 04/08/2016 22:10:50 1895920 Link
