[QUOTE="Boom Boom Boy, post: 7010246, member: 36308"] I actually think the opposite, I think younger lads given that opportunity would be more inclined to give it a go in the knowledge that they aren't going to be thrown to the lions on the pitch before they are ready and be caused embarassment, injury etc etc. At that time, Cork we after winning a Senior AI and were still there or there abouts, had an U21 team in an AI final backed by a lot of 19/20 year olds, momentum was there, we would have ended up with properly committed guys coming through, the group that got their by default, and too easily on the back of Cuthberts ill considered cull, turned out to be wholly unsuitable to driving it on, the best older players from that time, Kelly, O'Connor etc have subsequently said so in interviews. Easy come, easy go. Andy Moran has directly referenced several times Mayo players turning point coming while on a Compromise Rules tour with Ireland, seeing Canty, Miskella, O'Neill etc going to gym in morning as they were arriving in from nights out. It is going to take that type of commitment to get back to where we want. It's time for us as a football county to poop or get off the pot. [/QUOTE]
