It's only fair that we as GAA people should take a look at matters during the break while the warriors suck their oranges, indulge in a smoke break and lick their wounds.

1. John Gormley. The Green giant badly at fault for the first goal. Bogged down in a rake of rubbish in the small square his sandaled feet were stuck to the ground as Bruton the younger incinerated him...2.

2. Brian Cowen. Withdrawn from M/F when regular corner-boy Ahern, limped off the portly Biffo is badly off the pace here.
Allowing the much lighter Kenny take sly skelps off him....3.
3. Brian Lenihan. Recalled to the 3 jersey to shore up a leaking defence Lenihan has been tremendous. Sure fielding and ruthless tackling have seen off the twin threats of Seanie Fitz and Mickey Fingleton. A rosebush growing on a dunghill.. His performance so far, while carrying a bad injury, has ensured the MOM award so far and secured the All Star..9.
4. Mary Hanafin. Terrible stuff from the normally waspy witch. Paddy Doleman giving her a major headache here...3.

5. Noel Dempsey. The Meathman is coping bravely but vainly here with a rake of tormentors. As Tom Waters tore through the defence and Jack Frost engulfed our forces Noel sought to hide away in Malta..Untypical for a Meathman...5.
6. Mary Coughlan. The lovely Mary is having problems at CHB. The smaller Mick O'Leary is outfoxing her for every ball and putting her to flight with ease.. Selectors will be having a hard look at this one...3.
7. Martin Cullen. Our Minister for fun and football is out of his depth but then it's not that great anyway. Small of mind and stature, Cullen is not a team player and is frequently seen on solo runs down dark alleys...2

8. Eamon Ryan. Another Green clubman, Ryan rode in looking fit and lean but the jump from junior to senior has been too much for this tree hugging merchant...3.
9. Eamon O'Cuív. Our bogs and stone walls Minister has failed to make use of his height advantage and clearly is failing to communicate on the same wavelength with team members...Hold on.. Is he here at all??? ..1.

10. Dermot Ahern. Not doing too badly but again it's the "taking no prisoners" issue that's proving his downfall. Tigerish from the Dáil, his form has not fully transferred to the pitch but will start the 2nd. half....4.
11. Batt O'Keeffe. The burly Batt is in his 1st. season as Senior and inexperience is showing. Gaining useful possession Batt then changes the flow of play into reverse mode before ultimately losing the ball...May go on strike yet...3.
12. Michéal Martin. Back in the country for the odd day the "heavy" travel load is telling on Michéal. Smooth movement, slick one-touch flicks but only 2 points from frees to show...May side with Batt on the strike issue...4

13. Mary Harney. The bulwark of the team for many years, a recent wrist injury (4 days in A&E) has seen Mary shuffle up to corner forward. The Winter conditioning programme appears to have been a success but the number of un-treated injuries are telling against her...2.
14. Brendan Smith. Well what can we say about our Cavan friend?....Abuse not allowed because of location..Was spotted at the ploughing match in wellies...enough to merit a ...2.
15. Willie O'Dea. Much was expected from the Limerick shooter and what have we got? I'm not too sure really because Dilly swore he'd bag 2 at least and all we've had are "mature recollection" type repositionings...May be replaced....2

Feel free to add your views......
