So a former Kildare footballer called Willie McCreery has been lambasting Ulster football calling it horrible and unwatchable?? I can honestly say I have never heard of the guy such is the impression he made on Gaelic football; maybe that's why he is now a horse trainer? The truth is that without the Ulster Championship this year, where the best games have been, Gaelic football would be a dross. Tomorrow we will witness another Leinster coronation for Dublin which will be over by the tenth minute. Maybe Willie can give us another view after that?

Ah come on. Anyone with limited GAA knowledge knows Willie McCreery was a Kildare midfielder in the 1990s and early 200s, playing midfield and winning 2 Leinsters.

It's amazing to see someone so proud of their ignorance. I always got the impression you only started watching football around 2003 Ulsterman, nobody would expect you to know of a fine footballer who played in an All-Ireland final before then.

Ulsterman, you should ask him how many all Ireland's he has! Connacht has been good this year in fairness.

Not many may agree but I enjoyed the Cavan v Monaghan and Down v Monaghan games. WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 15/07/2017 14:55:10 2016927 Link 1 |
UM, Willie Mc was a super baller back in the 90's on a very good Kildare team. He would have been up there with Glen Ryan, Martin Lynch, Anthony Rainbow, Dermot Earley and Niall Buckley, in that bracket. Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 15/07/2017 15:29:19 2016939 Link 1 |

Doesnt matter whether or not you heard of him. He's entitled to his opinion.

No worries, I doubt he's heard of you either. if_in_doubt (Kildare) - Posts: 3685 - 15/07/2017 15:53:12 2016953 Link 4 |
Good enough footballer not fantastic nowhere near Glen Ryan class however very limited in his punditry - lazy reading of Ulster football - he should stop watching RTE and actually go to a game or watch sky coverage.

McCreery was a fine midfielder. beir_bua (Kildare) - Posts: 746 - 15/07/2017 15:55:12 2016956 Link 1 |

Willie was an excellent footballer and is an excellent horse trainer by all accounts. I notice Ulsterman that you didn't quote the part of the article where he welcomed the fact that Down are in the Ulster final as he loves Down's attacking pedigree. WildPundit I enjoyed those two games as well. lilywhite1 (Kildare) - Posts: 2989 - 15/07/2017 16:10:16 2016966 Link 0 |
Willie was a fine player. Attack his comments all you want but saying you've never heard of him means you're either trying to be a smarta*se or your knowledge of football is nowhere near as great as you think. KildareKelly (Kildare) - Posts: 593 - 15/07/2017 16:16:08 2016968 Link 4 |
Ha ha you managed to display your own ignorance and lack of knowledge in gaelic football and therefore contradict you own argument in one post, that's fair going...

I remember him well as he was part of the Kildare team who turned us over a couple of times. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8589 - 15/07/2017 16:17:52 2016974 Link 0 |
No, actually he loves watching Down play. Ulsterman failed to mention that in his post. In the actual interview Willie aid that he loves Down's attacking pedigree and is delighted to see Down in the Ulster final.

If he was from antrim he'd be the best antrim footballet of the last 30 years. Give it a rest 11jm11 (Kildare) - Posts: 365 - 15/07/2017 16:37:38 2016985 Link 0 |
