Teams I've enjoyed watching... Bearing in mind i'm a mere 23 years old.

Donegal in 1992 (Bias but hey) were some team, get shivers watching they way they outplayed the Dubs that day! I've nattered on about them in another post so won't do it again. A team that would have won the All-Ireland in 1993 as well had THAT Ulster final not been alowed to be played in Clones in monsoon conditions.

Galway 1998-2001 were full of speed and movement and unlike the current lot, they had the grit needed to succeed. Donnellan, Joyce, Declan Meehan, Ja Fallon, great players.

Tyrone 2003 until now... Fantastic the way they have annoyed so many people who'd rather Ulster football was in the doldrums. Mickey Harte has helped give this great batch of footballers the confidence they needed, hence some brilliant performances over the years.

Kerry 2004 Great forwards in Cooper and Donaghy. A joy to watch even though Mayo let them walk all over them in the final that year.

Cork 2009. Dare I say it, but this is the new force in Gaelic Football, speed, physicality and class.

A few things here. As a defender Sean Marty is/was probably better than ANYTHING Tyrone ever produced, although for me Tony Scullion was the prince of Ulster defenders.

Very good joke ha ha your having a laugh.

Dellboy, his father was a great half back, not the modern lad. It was close call between Fitzy and Canavan the Kerry loyalty swung it but starting either or doesnt weaken the side.

You're dead right Niamh, you never mentioned the defeat to us anywhere that i've noticed. It's better to pretend it didn't happen and say nothing I suppose eh.. I too remember the Cork game as i was sitting in the Cusack stand that day, you've brought back bad memories there.. Still, it was nice to play in Croke Park in a championship quarter final this year, would be worse to be sitting in the house dreaming of it, what do ye reckon?

Also, Sean Marty in his prime was twice the player Ricey will ever be.


He will never be a ricey not good enough he is overated and always was . Oh how many all ireland medals has he.

A few things here. As a defender Sean Marty is/was probably better than ANYTHING Tyrone ever produced, although for me Tony Scullion was the prince of Ulster defenders.

Secondly, Dell, were Ger Power, Spillane, Ogie Moran, Mike Sheehy, the BEST football forwards ever?

Was Gary Mason as good as Peter Canavan? Was Eoin Brosnan and Paul Galvin better than Canavan?

The answer to all of these questions is yes, if we judge by all Ireland medals.

Would you like to reconsider Dell?


-----------------------

I have no problem with people from Cavan nor am I bitter towards them. Just wouldn't have any of them on my team...
