i find it funny you suggesting nigel is selfish..were is the evidence to back this up? loneshark totaly agree with you on the fact he hasnt ryans or gullfoyles pace although karol slattery recently told me...when doing sprints in training last year...he was only behind casey,guillfoyle and ryan,out of 30 like...he was suprised..im not he has good pace. but the two boys are fair quick. i think he should get game time this year. mulhall,casey,dooley,reynolds,guillfoyle,darby,coughlan are not as good as nigel...i am probably biased buy i think hes in the top 6 forward...and so is ryan...strong as a bull and great at driving in for crucial breaking ball.

if Ryan which he is as strong as a bull why isn't he getting a fair shot at the county team
he is about 4 years with the footballers now and still can't get on the team, i think was it around
07,or 08 that he came on again Dublin and was near turning the whole game hit the post with one shot.

ye good piont, he has been araound the panel since 06 and cannot make the starting 15 on a regular basis. i dont know why this is the case maybe at the start it was due to trying to juggle football and hurling at senior and under 21 level....that would make it near impossible to hold down a regular spot. 2011 might be his year. i feel sean has more to offer offaly than say casey mulhall or reynolds. il tell you why....the 3 above are nice tidy players who are very good at club level. renolds hasnt really done it in the championship for offaly, he hasnt been bad but not good. casey hides in big games, can be good when he utises his pace. score 3 or 4 goals in last years championship though and that cant be frowed upon even tho all of them were identical where he just standing on the line with an empty goal. mulhall isnt good enough .we have to stop continuing to go with the same players or we will get the same results,i.e no silverware. ward could be an option a full forward hope he commits. thomo and niall smith likewise.
