Scully is a bit of marmite really. You get it or you don’t. I feel it’s all about balance the team.
I like him. I think he performs a lot fo un-noticed stuff. Remember the Mayo game after our passing around the back line, our out ball in those closing minutes was Niall. He very rarely coughs up possession. and while he’s not spectacular, he is Mr. Dependable. He has snook into the sweet spot several times over the last few years to pick up poachers goals.
Stuck in and laid on a few goals from those positions if I remember correctly, I understand folks suggesting a change but between that and saying he does f… all is a world apart
Scully has never done anything wrong with Dublin. But it’s full metal jacket next week, and I think we need more scoring personally from 10-12. Which is why I’d pick Costello at 11,
We will need to keep an impact player or 2 from the bench. Cormac and Kev Mc may be our best option for that!
I’m going to assume at this stage, Jim doesn’t have him in to score 3 or 4 scores a game! He is the link man
What club are you with? Or are you not involved with a club? Costello would not make a centre forward if he was born again of the blessed virgin Mary.
I don’t think Costello is good enough in the half forwards, much better closer to goal.
Ha snap
Haha! That’s class. Another QOTW contender… Think it’s time to resurrect the thread!
I like that. I shall use that with zeal.
If someone is offering very little, why do you think no one else could do better?
Me?
Told you before I used to be with Isles. Good few years ago,
As others have said, Scully fills a role at which he has been proficient and don’t see anyone coming in that might do that for full game.
It’s only relatively recently too that Howard has been regarded as a must start. Some were questioning him this time last year.
Problem and questioning from last week is rooted in a game where in large part due to Kerry, a lot of things did not gel, and a few players looked uncomfortable for a long time. But they got their act together so no need to reinvent the wheel. Would not start Costello in place of Scully.
(Don’t think that would go down well with another Islesman 
I wouldn’t start Costello either instead of Scully. No way. Costello coming of the branch with 10/15 to go is a must for me.
Now would I start DC instead of Scully? Now that’s a question I get butterflies over. Would ya could ya? Massive risk.
Which is why Jim Gavin is the man we trust. He’s never let us down since 2014. That’s a heck of a streak. This is in the bag lads. Chill.
Scored 1-2 in the last few games and gave Jack the final pass for goal of the season in the final, easy to say here that the pass was easy, it is not easy to find yourself in so much space when playing with 14 and then execute the pass to perfection, these lads are playing at 100mph and seeing all the options is not as easy as it looks.
This is true. In General Jim we trust.
Kilmacud.
Cooper was on pitch at time of goal? Playing with 15
Did you have a different username on here before? You remind me of a lad I used to converse with regularly here from Crokes.
Not saying I would do it, but it should not be a massive risk at this stage and if it is Connolly should not be in the 26, no player should be in the 26 if there is any doubt whatsoever about their capacity. I think the Tyrone game was used to find out where both lads were and I think Jim took his decision from there, Connolly was up to it and Rory needs more time. Fitness is not a problem here, as both are more than likely super fit, but sharpness etc is and Rory lost out a bit there. That does not mean that Suddenly we will find the Connolly of his best years, but I reckon Jims feels he could put in a decent shift if not he wouldn’t be there.
