Anyone who doesn`t have Donie Shine on their list hasn`t a clue about football.

Mulligan would walk on any team in ireland even kerry and cork and that is a fact . He be to good for both derry and down.

Mulligan has been non existant since 2005 and I wouldnt want him anywhere near the Derry team. How is it fact hed walk onto any team? Prove it

With all do respect, I don't Know would Mulligan WALK on the Kerry team, I think he hasn't been great for a while.

Please look up mulligans factfile and someone said that he never done nothing since dublin goal well he was man of the match in 08 final fact . Derry have one good forward and one that is going well at the minute but the other 4 are no good or even in mulligans class .

Any basis for your sweeping generalisation africangael? Or is it simply another incendiary post designed to wind a few people up!
I only ask cos i didn't have Mr Shine in my list, and readily admit i know nothing about Football. ;-)

FACT, look at what all the Kerry fowards have achieved too! Your coming out saying "FACT", he would walk on the Kerry team, thats not a fact i'm afriad. I don't think he would, I would not swap him for any of our 6 fowards.

Patrique: Regardless of whether Stephen O'Neill is 'permanently injured', he is still one of the top 20 forwards in the country



I saw O'Neill in many games lkast year.

Anyone who doesn't get a kick of the ball against antrim, albeit marked by Brady, is not in the top 20 in my book. He was reasonable against Kildare but that was it.

In 2005, a wonderful talent. In 2010, I doubt he will get on the Tyrone team if everyone is fit.

Derry have one good forward and one that is going well at the minute but the other 4 are no good or even in mulligans class .

So your saying derry only have 5 forwards

Tongo, I would put Shine ahead of a number of players on your list. Barry Grogan of Tipperary, David Tubridy of Clare and Seanie Johnston of Cavan are also excellent forwards.

No way would Rory Woods make it. I would consider Paul Finlay as Monaghans best forward and would include him on a list of 20.

Paul Barden from Longford is a class act, about our only high profile forward in the past few years
