They grew up in the Bishopstown catchment area, didn't they? JBM in Laburnum Lawn, Mark Healy in Bishopscourt and Michael Shields in Halldene. Not Barrs areas.
Anyway, my comment about ambition was a tounge in cheek response to a previous post about Bishopstown. I had a feeling that you'd bite R&B!?

In a recent survey 37% of the Togher population that can read and write, can do so thanks to a Bishopstown education.

Tbf that's not a whole pile of people.

I don't think anybody is disputing that fitness, athleticism, tactics, and strategies have moved on immeasurably since the 1980s. BUT the actual skill of the hurlers with the hurley and sliotar has declined imho.

They all went to CSN well known for producing great barrs players and the odd Bishopstown player

Spot on, in 20 years time skill levels will make todays players seem ordinary, so it was and so it will forever be

But the argument on comparing players from different eras is futile, you can only be as good as the game allows you to be, who’s to say Cian Lynch is better than DJ Carey or Jimmy Doyle or Christy Ring? They all played in different eras when the game was different

DJ Carey?



I remember when KK fans were lauding him as the greatest ever, even though he wasn't even the greatest KK hurler ever ?

Control your emotions R&B and don't be so touchy.
Firstly, I'm not anti-GAA, just critical of some of the things that have happened in Cork over the years.
Secondly, I'm more pro-Barrs than Bishopstown because over the years I've known a lot of anti-other sports gowlbags from the latter club. Any Barrs people that I've known have been sound individuals.
Now please have a lie-down and relax like a good man. ?

P.S. As the T-Rex song goes, I'm a "Twentieth Century Boy".?

I’m neither emotional or touchy, I’m just calling you out on your nonsense about 3 great Barrs men. The question is why are you at it?
