That is a decent win. Its gas that these lads are 5th Years and Transition Years I still think of Minors in the old sense of they could be on the Senior team next year....those days are well gone.
Collins
Eoin D Damo Sean O D
Rob Downey Joyce Millerick
Tommy Tim
Dalton Harnedy Hayes
Hoggie Connolly Barrett (Drifting)
Robbie, Fitzgibbon , Twomey, Jack , Niall O Leary to come in.
I bow deference to the better informed but Shane Kingston and Lyons are both mooted as being super old school full backs but neither seem to feature anywhere in a senior context. Is this due to the step up etc.? I understand the position is specialised labour but if these lads are doing it...
The 99 Munster Final was a break free from the bullying of the previous few years and it was a mindset not a size issue. Also from reading Brian Corcorans book it was a team and not a management decision culture wise. From the parade onwards they would not be bullied having been laughed at...
There are going to be draws this year and they will have significant bearing . The 1 point for a draw and 2 for a win makes things harder to predict than if it was 1 and 3.
Agree totally. The one exception I would make on substitutions is Connolly. I would Seanie O Leary him. Give him licence to drift in and out but safe in the knowledge that he might just pop up with a goal. Goalscorers take risks that sometimes make it look like they are not contributing.
Decent enough team. I would say Saunderson is a man on trial . Jack O Connor last chance saloon . Hope Coleman has to go man to man on someone decent to prove he can defend.
Taking your word on this and his prognosis is no business of mine. He is so unlucky again this year as I reckon he could be a potential star if injury free.
I wonder is there anyone in the Caroline Currid role helping lads with dealing with some of these difficulties which need dealing with...
Interesting though that I thought Murphy had a poor enough night and his puck outs were instrumental to our revival. Collins looked the better of the 2 last night.
Worries about the warm up were there last year too and that is not good to hear. I hope Robbie O Flynn is well looked after and...
I watched the 2018 semi final again...... why I dont know.........The free against Eoin Cadogan was terrible and was the turning point. The Quaid save on Harnedy was less so as 3 lads had made their way onto the line.
