Smaller Fish

In a 50/50 game, here's a list of all the Ulster pundits are going for Donegal Such bias has to be called out

That hurts my eyes

Smaller Fish predictions Wooly - Kerry Shane Walsh - Kerry Paddy Burns - Donegal Aaron Kernan - Donegal Brendan Devenney - Donegal

Fecking Louth and Derry county boards screwing over the smaller fish I've lost Chrissy and Gavin in a week Bloodbath 😭

Shane Walsh on Brendan McCole "As a man marker i didn't like marking Brendan McCole. ..he's physically strong.....he never seems to dive in ....that awareness to be in your mans face but not enough that you're getting bought on a dummy"

"It goes unnoticed on the pitch with Kerry but he's a nasty, nasty fella on the pitch" Paddy Burns pays Sean O'Shea a compliment by calling him nasty on the field

Paddy Burns on man marking 3 players in the zonal system "The zone's gone, you can't mark that size of a space with the number of players that are left" Expect at least 1 of Paudie Clifford or Sean O' Shea (or maybe both) to be free outside the arc

Top notch stuff from Shane Walsh and Paddy Burns ahead of the final. Starting with No1, Patton v Ryan, we put each position against each other to see who comes out on top We had a 10-5 winner but who won???

"Will Donegal play the percentages, you know what they're going to do" Will Donegal surprise Kerry with something new with Michael Murphy, like give him some good kickpasses

The All Ireland football preview is OUT NOW - McGonagle and Paul Geaney to start - David Clifford to change his game - Kerry improvement in 11v11 situations - Donegal excellent in 11v11 - 'Play the game, not the occasion" - How many Donegal will man mark - Tom O' Sullivan held…

Myself and Brian made the case for John McGrath to win hurler of the year  He made the most telling pacts on the biggest games - is that not what POTY is about?

We're starting our football final build up tomorrow but one prediction I'll start with Every Ulster pundit (including my own) will tip Donegal to win (And passionately want them to win) 😜

All ireland review PII and team of the year show is OUT NOW - Ronan Maher on the Sarsfields wall - Noel McGrath to stay going, Hoggie to finish - Tipp got off the bus early in Croker - Psychological effect of that collapse for Cork - You can’t win the All Ireland playing a…

I see Cathal Sheridan getting credit now for Tipperary winning. These lads always get credit for winning but never for losing. Gerry Keegan was getting credit for Cork winning Munster but there won't be a word about him re Sunday, Pat Ryan will be getting the criticism

For me John McGrath is HOTY for the importance of his big games 2-1 v Limerick - Tipp needed to bounce back after league final 2-03 v Clare - Tipp were going out if they lost 1-02 off Huw Lawlor - not many do that 2-02 in final and (cutely) won the penalty that got Downey…

Tipperary fans - hangover cure on Smaller Fish - Review show with Bubbles and Ollie Baker - Interviews with Bryan O Meara, Willie Connors, Rhys Shelly and Mikey Bevans from hotel. - Review 2 out today with Cyril Farrell and Brian Carroll - and team of the year, POTY chat

Make sure you get your tickets for Wednesday night The Donegal preview nights are all sell outs, if this isn't I'll tell David Clifford on ye 😁

The hurling show is OUT NOW - Tipp are back - Liam Cahill got everything right - 17 second half mins up there with Kerry v Armagh - Tipp SWEEPER system (admit what it is) - John McGrath too cute for Eoin Downey - Ronan Maher hammered the hammer - Cork mistakes on pitch &…

Tipp stayed out in Malahide last night. It was quiet enough apparently as a good bit out. Why can't the GAA book two big hotels in the city centre at the start of the year? Transfer the booking over to the competing finalists then. 2 weeks is a very short timeframe to book

Bryan O' Meara chatting to me on playing the sweeper "We had to do something, the definition of insanity is....." He said he covered the no7 position because when Cork went short on puckouts they like to go down that line Cahill had his homework done 👌
