Toast Our favourite Irishman

[Korn]

He is a beautiful kicker, both set shots and passing.

But lately we haven't seen him doing any of those crazy celebrations after a goal.

Dare I say it, big Irish has managed to do something Son of Vin still struggles with sometimes, and that's focusing his aggression and maintaining his concentration.

However, if he kicks a ripper team lifting goal or something I still reckon we'll see Setant go ape

Just wondering about something. I'd regularly read the match reports here to see how the Irish lads are doing and it's good to see Setanta doing well. However, a lot of the positive comments he gets seem to be qualified with "He'll never be a star". Now that's fair enough but at what point should people just give him credit for what he's doing instead of damning him with faint praise? What is a 'star' anyway? I say fair play to him, he went from one side of the planet to the other as an elite hurler (not an elite gaelic footballer), to take up a new sport which he is now regularly playing at the highest level possible. He seems to be contributing plenty the last few weeks as far as I can see. It bugs me when people talk about 'The Irish Experiment' as I think it's a bit of an insult to him. At what point does he stop being an experiment? How many games does he have to play? Hope he keeps doing his bit to help bring success to the club and hopefully he has another Irishman in the team with him before long (good man Zach!).

Yeh thanks this is true, he makes a huge contribution to the team his versatility is so valuable , I've always been a fan, he gives 110% and his game has improved, what annoys me when he does something wrong, the commentators say, hasn;t grown up with the game/it;s not his second nature, hurler by nature, blah, blah, rubbish really, he does not get enough credit

Just went to go have a look for Tall, Dark and O'hAilpin on YouTube and it isn't there anymore.

Pretty bummed.

 

[Big Sim]

His best has been pretty damn good for a few seasons now. He was starting to fire when Fev nobbled him late in 09, was great for the first half of 10, and he really looks like he belongs in the starting 22 now, with or without Kreuz. Just hope he can keep it up and get to 100 games. Its a story to rival that of Jim Stynes IMO, given that he was a hurler.

Love the Tant.

Ask Harks who his fave Irishman is. Don't think think he's an ex-hurler.

 

[Alpha1]

Love a little bit of Irish, this generations Earl Spalding "The Duke" give us 200% that's all we can ask.

I'm looking forward to O'hEnderson tearing it up in the second half of the year.
