Dara O'Shea

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. 

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

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.

For me, he's earned a senior call up already. Needs to lock down a position, I hope he plays more centre back. 

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
