O'Byrne Cup 2011 - Official Thread

Apparently, McCauley had nothing nicked because he had everything in a handbag which was obviously overlooked!!!!

Here is the offending Player.

I have nothing against any players what i'm saying some players are around a good few years and HAVE NOT made the break through to be regulars on the senior team and with this i just cannot see them making the break through now. I also never said anything about getting my club players on the team or panel as fionn wrote. I just don't understand how people that seem to know about football keep sticking up for these players to me they were not good enough back then and are not good enough now.

Ok back on topic here. So centreback and StevieG you drop Hendy, who do you bring in intead of him that will improve the squad?

well one player i can think of would be the likes of sean campbell of sars, maybe he is with the u21's though, also guys like sean murphy of larries and browne of suncroft who are all young and in my opinion would offer a lot more than hendy going forward.

Murphy was in the set-up last year, don't know if he is this year, and Browne is in it this year I read somewhere here?

gay-lord

Browne played corner back last nite for juniors against ballymore in a friendly, he had his hands full with clarke lad, think thats his name anyway.
Doesn't look like a corner back anyway maybe suited out the field but perhaps a bit small??

Sure sign of a hard Winter - eleven pages of discussion generated by one O'Byrne Cup match !

offaly 0-8 DCU 0 - 17

So dcu it is...

This is the DCU team that played tonight:


DCU (Roscommon unless stated): R Hennelly (Mayo); N Collins, K Gavin (Westmeath), S Ormsby; J McCarthy (Dublin), N McAdam (Monaghan), C McGuinness (Monaghan) (0-1); F O'Shea (Cork) (0-2), M McElhinney (Donegal) (0-1); D Keenan (0-1), D O'Gara, C Rafferty (Louth); S Roche (Wexford) (0-5, 2f), D Shine (0-4, 2f), D Kelly (Sligo). Subs: M Murphy (Donegal) (0-2) for Rafferty (HT); B Cullen (0-1) (Dublin) for Keenan (HT); L O'Donovan (Dublin) for Collins (49); P Andrews (Dublin) for Kelly (50).



That'd be Michael Murphy, Bryan Cullen and Paddy Andrews coming on as subs

4 Roscommon players on the DCU team. Fuck me.

Is there a bus going from Roscommon town every morning at 6am or something.

Some good players on there alright, should be a really good test for our lads.

very tough test,interesting to see what bettings like for that game!!
kildare be up against it id say

Thats an excellant full forward line, good test for our full back line.

He's certainly not getting it from

Scrappy game the conditions where horendous for both teams , but in fairness credit where credit is due , Westmeath deserved to win he game on the night they worked tiredlessly for each other in the whole game, they put more effort in on a dreadful night for football , Dublin didnt work hard enough in support play during the game , and the passing and attempted scoring was sloppy in the conditions , the new faces didnt step up to the mark , in fairness i think alot of these players need to burst out of there skin next sunday if they have any ambitions for the up coming league.

As for the skit or correct terminology here as i am told "sarcasim" about the burglary , this reminds me of a certain quote here not so long ago "40 locals who've known each other since they were robbing houses together at 7" In Westmeath , they lifted dublin supporters for €10 a head last sunday children included , charged them again tuesday , then clear out the dressing room after half time , just makes you think what lenghts the westmeath county board are willing to go to make up for the money they squandered and lost last year !!!! location , location , location !! , and to think its only confined to Dublin . It wouldn't happened in Kildare , you would be afraid of your life you stumble in on a pipe bomb making factory or worse again end up go for a haircut in newbridge in a barbers funded by a former ryanair trolley dolly !!! "sarcasim"

I am not surprised it happened , as the Westmeath team kitted out in the clubhouse function room before the match , maybe they have been stung before at this location and knew the capability of there own brethern around them parts.And the worse part after charging €10 in the hungry C's didnt even put on the heaing in the clubhouse bar , dressing rooms nor function rooms , tight B's , but charged top rate for the beverages ,with filthy glasses in tow

Maybe we should invest in those oversized babygrowers or catsuit the lillywhite subs wore last sunday , what a fashsionable accessory , on a warm sunny january day ,but then again its just only fun loving "sarcasim"

By the way it was very cold and wet on tuesday night my snood got drowned and i nearly caught nemounia ,i should have wore heavier tights under my jegans " sarcasim"

Ok now plastic Dub, that'll be all.

Does anybody have a clue what the hell that's all about. Mental.

No ''sarcasim' now lads.....

I think he's alittle upset by insinuating that Michael Daragh Nicky Clarke MacCauley is a puff. Hate to see what he'd be like if somebody said the Dubs are a one trick pony (i.e. Bernard Brogan). And its only January!!!!.

DCU would have to be favourite but it depends what team they go with - like they didn't even pick their strongest team the other night. But it'll be great for Fitzer, Moolick, Dowling, Lyons, Connolly etc

I cleaned up that post for you. I refer back to the Forum Charter.

Absolutely no personal posts about players or officials private lives.

That is all I will say on the matter.

Pub and Gutter talk about anyone whether they're players or not will not be tolerated.

Sarcasm I think he means. Even more mental when read a second time.
