GAA Managerial Merrygoround Thread

He seems popular with the players, though that may not necessarily be the vital factor. I was talking to a few colleagues in Galway last week and he also seemed well thought of by them.

What about Cyril? He is the man for the job

If I may be so bold as to dip into @carryharry’s box of Gifs…

Justin Campbell

Current Roscommon hurling manager. Past AI club winner with Kiltormer. One of the finest stickmen we ever had.

Got a terrific goal against Kilkenny in the 1992 semi final.

Can you remind me of the score in that one Geoff. I seem to remember Antrim giving Cork a half decent game for about 50 minutes but cant remember the Kilkenny Galway match

23 year olds retiring wouldnt appear that positive alright.

[Bisto]

star player …apparently left in summer too but was coaxed back…i’d say dubs would have downed tools only for they saw how the Mayo and Galway players got a pummelling for doing so…

Ouch.

Cork beat Down in the semi in 1992 - Ger McGrattan got an all star that year I think also

Ouch.

I like the way he was principled enough to wait until after the trip to Boston

@Elvis Brandenberg Kremmen

Ger Cunningham confirmed as Dublin hurling manager for a 3-year term.

This bluffer will set Dublin hurling back years.

I think I called this one over a year ago.

[QUOTE=“tazdedub, post: 1028612, member: 312”]Was going to ask if Cunningham is a good appointment?

Thought we would have needed someone with stronger inter county experience.[/QUOTE]
Absolutely no track record at county level and very little to shout about at club level. Also very definitely a yesterday man. Aside from Michael Bonds glorious 100 days there is no precedent for a man in his 50s coming to inter county management for the first time delivering success.

Followed it up with this at the time.
