To be fair Joxer he hasn't behaved himself off or on the field. If you're going to act like that you deserve all the attention you bring onto yourself. He's big enough to deal with the "media" ie Twitter/Facebook. Very simple, delete your account, get the head down and play for Dublin or Leave to America and enjoy it over there. Essentially what im saying is people should stop feeling as if he's the victim. The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2088 - 26/06/2019 10:18:10 2201098 Link 1 |
So you have your sources and I have mine. Fact is if Gavin wanted him he would be back now regardless of your league scenario.

My source is myself in this case but carry on. The fact actually is that Connolly didn't want to play. Nothing to do with Gavin not choosing him.

Now you know how full of it that poster is. A Mayo man knows more about it than Jackeen who has a partner involved in the Dublin set up, ok then.

I bow to your superior knowledge clondalkin but as I say there are all sorts of rumours doing the rounds. A superb player & he will be missed. Aye, we are looking the part at the moment. Talent wise I'd say they are the best we have ever had but the big tests are still to come. Kerry in Croke Park will tell us a lot.

The Kerry game is one I can't wait for , the winners more or less in the all Ireland final imo. And Muck Ordan is not involved I'm a huge fan of his class player imagine if they had him playing huge loss.

The absolute gall. I'm sure there are plenty of posters on here, from various counties, who know people involved in other counties' panels. I work with 3 current intercounty players, from 2 different counties for example, a few former players and a coach currently involved with a county set-up who is a former county player. I also know the man who was in the car with Connolly and Bonner back in the day. . cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5010 - 26/06/2019 15:14:40 2201289 Link 2 |
A mayo man who moved to Dublin for college and didn't leave there for 15 years playing senior championship for a Dublin club and would know a few people. Not really bothered about a poster claiming they know the ins and outs. The same posters deny there is an off field problem. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7885 - 26/06/2019 15:20:25 2201296 Link 11 |
Are you talking about me? You'll be hard pushed to find me having said that.

Not you in particular, maybe you are genuine but it's lost on poor auld Clondalkin that the message within the camp would not be the same as the one sent out to the public. Hence the reason he thinks someone who knows someone is the only opinion that counts. He thought i was some die hard Mayo lad having a pop. Not the case. The nonsense I read on here at times portraying Connolly as a lad who is hard done by makes me chuckle to be honest. Clondalkin is also the same poster who went on a childish rant when ROC stepped away and is now saying Connolly is wrong to go the Boston. He is the stereotypical lad who couldn't play football, became a die hard fan and then thinks players should only care about playing for Dublin. Plenty of them in my own county as well. Clueless.

Not too often I agree with a Cavan man :-) but I agree. A small country with broad connections through many facets of our lives. Would hate to feel the need to defend a perspective or contribution based on who you know in your personal life! greysoil (Monaghan) - Posts: 965 - 26/06/2019 16:00:39 2201322 Link 0 |
Would you have preferred it if they had lost? Celtic, the Scottish team, f**k them, and Man U, and Liverpool, someone tried to compare us to Man City last, plz dont make those silly comparisons.

Sure what would I know The Flaker I only played club football with Jim for years and was managed by Frankie Roebuck (part of the Dublin backroom team) for years ,you as a mayo man know way more than Jackeen whose partner is involved with the Dublin set up and me a round towers club man so will just go on your word. What club are you with The Flaker? clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 26/06/2019 16:08:32 2201328 Link 6 |
Stereotypical bit was funny doh in fairness.

I didn't realize every poster on here was Maurice Fitz back in the day apart from Me, The Flaker must be Ciaran McDonald. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 26/06/2019 16:19:28 2201340 Link 6 |
Imo Connolly in years to come will regret what he's doing , to walk away from a team going for 5 in a row I think he's making a big mistake. That's just my opinion. Rory O Carroll is back so he obviously missed it and knew at 29 he hasn't many years left. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 26/06/2019 16:31:52 2201349 Link 6 |
No doubting he will spark when provoked. It was a major failing in him and some opponents knew what buttons to press. He has his medals, he has his club football, he has freedom from the IC scene and he leaves behind a fantastic legacy. That performance against Tyrone in 11 and that incredible performance against Castlebar in the 2014 club final when he scored 2-5 and setup 2 other goals. Pure magic.

Do they still have a team called The Hit Squad in Round Towers?

And everyone knows how good he is and was. The other perception from a lot of Dubs is that he doesn't get that recognition either. Which is nonsense. Class player with some issues on and off the pitch at times.
