Not true. 2 good mates of mine who were both top class Hurlers and Gaelic footballers . One played for Dublin in Hurling and 1 played for the Dubs in Gaelic, both could have been dual stars if they wanted but concentrated on one code and no doubt where very handy at football, one even played for a league rep side and didnt take it serious at all only played for a few years woth a club as a youngfella and the other even less.Both from working class North Dublin estates and both never played football seriously. Both of them had zero interest and loved GAA . Now it's even worse in the sticks where there is a lot more emphasis on the local GAA club and lot loss serious amateur football teams.

Apparently he took Kanchelskis out, though I'm not sure how, given they were on the same side in a friendly game.

Niall Quinn and Shane Long were excellent hurlers. They would no doubt have had long Intercounty careers for Dublin and Tipperary

I've come across this myself. Playing over 35s now and there is a lad on the team tearing it up, scores for fun, great touch. I asked one of the lads who he had played for before 35s and was told he never played soccer, only ever played GAA. Not saying he is, or could have been, good enough to play at international level, obviously, but it does make you wonder about the players that we might have missed out on.

Yeah, there are lots of lads like Sherlock, Tohill, Cluxton, Geraghty, and Chin who were/are all decent footballers, however, they were decent at a LOI level. None of them could be considered a "loss" to the national team, they were never anywhere near that level.

We're decent enough..

You're literally confirming my point, these were top GAA prospects who went down the route of playing soccer because they were good enough to do so. This is what will happen in 99% of cases. What I'm saying is that it's incredibly rare for someone who is good enough to play soccer professionally to choose GAA over it, it simply almost never happens. Therefore, the suggestion that we've "lost" potentially great internationals because they chose GAA instead is simply inaccurate.

Very well deserved, he'll be playing in the PL in 6 odd weeks which is amazing progress from him.
For me, he's earned a senior call up already. Needs to lock down a position, I hope he plays more centre back. |

I meant more centre back for West Brom and lock down that position
I feel that would be better for Ireland, we have doherty and coleman competing for one spot at right back. For Ireland, I think we could do with some competition in the CB position. Egan is a cert to play in the first team. Question marks over Duffy until he moves from Brighton Clark has been unlucky with injuries |

WBA are signing Ivanovic so it is both good and bad for O'Shea.
He is obviously seen as a long term prospect for them and one they don't want to hamper. Ivanovic is old so wont play all the time and won't be around medium term.
