Kevin McGourty should be playing county

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


Anyone still doubt the man?

He is now the best centre half forward in the game, as his fielding ability puts him above any rivals.

A fine player alright but Declan O Sullivan is the best centre haf forward in the game

Agree with above comment he is a good player, but not at the level of O'Sullivan in my opinion as of yet anyway

He should sort out whatever problems he has with the county NOW and get on with playing for the shirt. We can ill afford to lose players like hime and his talents should be seen on a bigger stage. We all know there are BIG egos, fiefdoms and powerhouses in Antrim but why cut off your nose to spite your face. All this is childish and silly.

even so dublin 09 you want to see the best players in a county wearing the county jersey , no he wont turn antrim into all ireland contendors but he would certainly be a good piece of the jigsaw

Then obviously dublin you know neither anything about Antrim or Gaelic football. Antrim needs McGourty back playing football as soon as possible if we are to go forward.

He is great footballer but unfortunatley in my opinion he is as bad as mickey harte as he has to have an opinion on everything, pity he wouldnt let his football do the talking.

So when did having an opinion become a crime? If that was a stipulation most of those playing and managing wouldn't be allowed on to a pitch. There are few shrinking violets in the GAA and many strong personalities, McGourty is no different.

kevin McGourty has opinions and as an amateur sportsman he is entitled to them.

He has been Man of the Tournament at Sigerson twice I think, and now helped his club to the pinnacle.

A serious talent but I cannot see him turning out for Antrim.

Now he might play for the Dubs..............

At the same time, Patrique, if he wants to put his money where he his mouth is, he should make himself available for the county team. What's his problem? If he's that good, why doesn't he show it and boss the Tyrone backs around for us in the summer?

Alas the Antrim management in the past had a problem with him.

Jody Devine objected to him winning the Sigerson for queen's, the only manage in history to object to a player playing in the Sigerson.

The following year he had a commitment, short term, to managing QUB ladies team, but Jody was not prepared to budge.

Now I know kevin can be a right pain, although he was really polite and friendly to me last Sunday at the Laois game, but it is not always his fault.
