"If Darren O' Sullivan can play for Kerry then Paddy Quinn can play for Dublin."

What's the story with Darren O'Sullivan? Was he not born in Kerry?

seanie_boy, why wouldnt darren o sullivan be able to play for Kerry? He was born in london to kerry parents and they moved back home fulltime when he was 12, he also played underage with his club glenbeigh/glencar when he used to be here on his summer holidays, so what is your point exactly?? Also hill16no1man, vinny murphy was never asked to come play for the Kerry footballers, he was well passed it at that time anyways.

Why is this not getting much media attention.The fact that Dublin with a population of around 1.5 million are picking outsiders is unacceptable.Its bad enough any other county picking an outsider in my opinion but Dublin doing it is ten time worse.

A rule needs to be brought in where if you play at minor level or above for a county you cannot ever play for another county.Intercounty GAA becomes pointless unless there are fairly stringent criteria regarding the eligibility of players and I dont care how long Paddy Quinn is playing for a dublin club he isnt a Dub and should not be allowed to play for Dublin.Dublin have let themselves down by doing this if I was on the Dubin panel I wouldnt be too happy.

Seanie boy that's a disgraceful remark about Darren and it shouldent have been allowed be posted. One of your most high profile ex players was born in Canada and he was 100% Tyrone and was proud to wear the Tyrone jersey just as much as Darren is in a Kerry jersey.

Gatekeeper - Because a lad is born in London to Irish parents and returns home that he shouldn't be allowed play for his county ! The amount of people leaving Ireland at the moment it would be great to think that someday there kids might be playing Gaa.

Now now lads take it easy! Its not the issue at hand,but us lads from the north are well aware about the importance of jurisdictions and all thats implied with it,sure yez are great at tellin us we are not in Ireland when it suits some of yez.If you read my post again you will see that I was saying that it was a not an issue.And I wasn't making any disparaging remarks about Darren O' Sullivan with the point I was making.He was born and raised for a large part in London,nothing wrong with that in my eyes so I don't know why you are getting annoyed.Nothing wrong with any Tyrone player being born in Canada either.

Fair enough, I agree with you, but there was nothing disgraceful about
seanieboy's remark, it was a harmless comment and there was no reason
for it to be censored!

Maybe Seamus Heaney was right during the week and John Hume was definitely right "We are a divided people".

So just to be clear,there is nothing wrong with Darren O' Sullivan playing for Kerry.Had his parents moved back and settled in Cork or Dublin there would be nothing wrong with him playing for those county teams either.

I don't think we are divided, if you look at the reception Mickey Heart recieved in Killarney I think that shows the respect we hold for Mickey and Tyrone.

Yes Mickey Harte and Tyrone were treated very well by Kerry fans last year.
It was appreciated and noted at the time, Kerry is a great place with great
people.

aysus, that was a storm in a teacup! Lets all just get along...... till the summer
at least. :)

Very strange decision by Gavin to include Quinn in his squad. Its not as he doesn't have a choice of Dublin born players. Quinn is a decent player but unless he improves massively, he will not be near the championship team. Just think he is blocking a young players progress by his inclusion.

Yez dont need anyone to telll yez, just look at a map!!! And as for making disparaging comments about Darren, you needlessly dragged his name into the conversation even though he has played with his club since U10
