Shane and his brother Mikey are New York born, but yes, their father is from Knocknagoshal. Think he actually played for kerry in the early 90s when a few other knocknagoshal players were also in the panel. |

Think Mike might have an AI medal from 1986 Mike was on Mickos s panel for a while Emigrated and was one of the best players in New York football for a good 10 year s His two boys Mike and Shane didn’t lick it off the grass !!! The other Knocnagoshel connection was James Walsh played midfield Sunday grandson of Eddie “ hooker “ Walshe Polo Grounds man from 1947. And 5 all Ireland medals |

Think Mike might have an AI medal from 1986 No!Mike Brosnan did nt win an All Ireland medal.An excellent footballer but did nt play for Kerry until 1988 or 89 after St Kierans won the championship and he was brilliant at full back.Was also a very good midfielder and centre back.Did nt play too much for Kerry as he immigrated to New York where he played for a good few years before injury forced him into early retirement I was informed.Dont think he even got to play for New York in the Connaught championship as he had just retired beforw they took part.However I worked with alot of lads from all over Ireland and many if them spent a few years in NY and everyone to a man knew Mikey Brosnan.The lads I knew say he was known as the greatest player to play gaa in New York and thats some praise as great like Larry Tompkins played there.Mikeys sons Shane and Michael are New York born. Ok, he was a couple of years later than I thought. You’re right, he was very highly regarded in NY. Played for the Leitrim club. He would’ve played for a much longer period in NY than the likes of Tompkins. Another Kerryman Bingo O’Driscoll who was a few years after Brosnan would also be regarded as one of the best players to play in NY. |

Bingo was some baller, was 1996 his last year with the kerry seniors?? I have heard New York GAA people say Tom Canty Lixnaw was one of the best hurlers in New York, he played full back and centre back for the Limerick hurlers in New York for over 15 years. He made a trip home to play for Lixnaw too in that period!! |

Lots of great players played in NY (some legally and some not) but one of the reasons Brosnan and Bingo were mentioned was due to the longevity of their tenure out there. |

Was just looking at the fixtures for this weekend. GAA (as usual) not helping themselves by having the two opening weekends of the Championship consisting of such ho-hum fixtures. Only televised game by RTE this weekend is Dubs v Meath in Croker - I'd say they'll get a massive crowd tuning in for that alright. A real 50/50 encounter  |

A real 50/50 encounter I hate to pick you up this Hermit as you are one of the best posters here but what could the GAA actually do about it? The draw is the draw and there is not much they can do about that. I would say last weekend was not a bad start to championship - a 50/50 local derby (Monaghan v Cavan) and a couple of shocks as well which were not a lot of people were expecting. It won’t mean much to most at end of year but it gives something to Wicklow and Waterford to look back on year with a bit of pride. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Wicklow give Kildare a share of it this weekend as well. |

I know what you're saying Jerry but, for example, Derry v Donegal could have been put on this weekend as it was the first big game in the Ulster draw. Why not give it top billing instead of it being on the same weekend as Roscommon v Mayo and us v Cork - no one cares anymore about Meath v Dublin - at this stage even showing the Leinster final is a joke, let alone any of the games before it. I just think they could wet the sports lovers appetite a bit more by earmarking the best games the draw throws up for the first couple of weekends. It goes back to a constant complaint I have, the Association's deficiency of marketing its games vis a vie its main rivals like rugby or soccer. |

It goes back to a constant complaint I have, the Association's deficiency of marketing its games vis a vie its main rivals like rugby or soccer. I get what you are saying about the Derry Donegal game but the winners of that are playing Tyrone or Cavan so that’s why they are scheduled on the same weekend. If you moved one you would have to move both so that teams have equal time off between matches. And if you played it this weekend, Cavan would be complaining that they didn’t have a week off between games. If there was one change to be made, I would have told the Leinster Council to move the Dublin Meath game from Croke Park to literally anywhere else. A smaller ground with a bit of atmosphere would create a bit of novelty and excitement instead of half empty Croke Park. I don’t think it would change the result in any way. |

Frank McQuigan was in New York for 8 years His son Brian was was born there as far as I’m aware He left NY in 84 and went on to produce that Magnificent Ulster Final performance whete he scored 11 points from play 5 with the right foot 5 with the left and one fisted point Mike Brosnan could read the game like no other Always knew exactly where the ball was going to land and was a supreme foot passer Dominated games for years in NY And still is contributing massively to the administration of the underage programs here which are on the up and up |

Dublin putting out their B team for Meath tells you everything you need to know about the state of football in Leinster

Meath v Dublin will be a turkey shoot.
For all the critisim of Dublin and their advantages Meath have to look at themselves.
The under 20s lost to Dublin on Tuesday and they were backboneed by the minors who won the all ireland in 21.
Meath have tried to copy Kerry and have a divisional set up to unearth players it's in year 3.
But fundamentally Meath have issues like how uncompetitive their clubs are Leinster.
The conceded 3.12 against Longford so you can imagine what Dublin will do.
As for Cork,
Improving yes and certainly have more potential than Meath but I'd expect Kerry to win this with something to spare.

Dublin putting out their B team for Meath tells you everything you need to know about the state of football in Leinster The team is the same as played in the league final except for the enforced change of Paddy beag coming in for Fenton. In a very unusual way, this game has a significance for Kerry. Veteran has been telling us that it suited us fine to have the press falling over each other to heap superlatives on Dublin. And he is right. But are they deserving of all the superlatives? I don't think so. They have a very professional setup and supply line, but watching them play there are questions that could be asked that they would not be able to answer. The league final scratched the surface on this but going all the way to a penalty shootout may have distracted Dublin from taking the real message that they should be taking from the game. So on Sunday Kerry needs Dublin to be out of sight by half time so that normal hyping can resume. Otherwise two consecutive manifestations of reality might wake them up. It is hard to believe that the oracle of football wisdom on our screens for quarter of a century, Colm O'Rourke was in charge a team that played like that last Sunday. For that reason Dublin will do what we need. |

Meath & Kildare should be much more capable of putting it up to Dublin than they are. As much as Dublin have advantages they still have to exploit them. Meath & Kildare have some of the similar advantages but have done nothing with them. I’ve seen some people suggest that because there are so many dubs living in these counties that this affects the county spirit. Half the Dublin team themselves are the offspring of blowins and it doesn’t seem to be an issue. And wasn’t an issue long before they started this current run in 2011 |

If you walk around Dunboyne,Ashbourne, Ratoath or Dunshaughlin you are more likely to see a Dublin Jersey than a Meath one. Even Navan. |

More than likely or O Hanlon.I see Laois are as reliable as always.Favourites v Offaly and lose by 8points.Down v Antrim was a snorefest. Yeah Down v Antrim was a hard watch - didn't do much for the reputation of the Ulster championship. |

I think I've figured it out, *ing eejits.
They've printed up a fancy chart and left off the quarter finals (note they have week 12 and week 14, but no week 13):
I can see on this Irish Times article:
"the GAA confirmed that the station will, as last year, be broadcasting two All-Ireland football quarter-finals on the weekend of June 29th-30th, with the other two on GAAGO."
So I think you can deduce that RTE will have two quarter finals on Sunday the 30th of June.
Wrong information all over the RTE website, and they want you to play 79 quid to see the games.
Anyway, I'll probably pay it, because I want to see the quarter-finals and preliminary quarter-finals (exclusive to GAA Go, it seems).

Could Bugler's goal be a championship record for the number of steps allowed? I make it 12.
Possibly being fouled can't be used to justify this. Ridiculous.
