GAA Managerial Merrygoround Thread

Tis practically all motorway Shur

In fairness Oisin is well used to travelling all over the country giving talks about Gambling etc.

Oisin will get fair sick of the M50 before long.

Oisin must be getting decent remuneration from Wickla. He’s a pundit on BBC and a regular contributor to 4 or 5 GAA podcasts. Might not be big money individually but add it all up and it’s probably a decent wedge.

Oisin’s bubbly, infectious attitude will galvanise the Wickla lads who’ll quickly get behind the chippy Nordie. Aughrim will be a minefield for visiting teams.

No one knows better how to play in a fortress than the Cross boys.

Oisin seems to know what he is talking about tbf. I would consider it a decent appointment for Wickla. Of course tis a UN peacekeeper you’d want going in there rather than a football coach, but a big name might get them to pull together for a year, if he got everyone out a tailteann cup might not be out of the question.

I honestly think Wicklow are a lost cause.

Golf seems to be a more popular sport than GAA there from my interactions with Wicklow people.

Micko got a bit of a tune out of them for a year or two

Outstanding work from Duignan

It’s an uphill struggle in the Garden county. I’ve seen them up close for longer than suits me but the general talk I’ve heard from them is the divide between the west and east of the county. My most recent meeting with them was a qualifier in Pairc Seán in 2019 when their goalie kicked about 8 points from dead balls all from the 45 or outside. I think Jackson is his name but he was mercurial from the ground. It’ll be a noble feat if he knocks a tune out of them.

Supps you turncoat!!!

Meath football must be at the cliff edge. Robbing the ladies team for “backroom staff” must be the absolute nadir. They’d want to hit the ground running next Spring or there will be serious recriminations. Flynn will be seething which in itself is a good thing.

Peter Queally and Eoin Kelly (Mullinahone) selectors with Davy.

Peter Queally has had a fair few go’s on the merry-go-round now?

My main memory of Peter Queally as a player is that he had a very long, pointy nose.

And that at the 1994 All-Ireland hurling final, me oul’ fella somehow mentally confused Damien Quigley with him and as Quigley was banging in 2-3 or whatever it was he kept calling him “Damien Queally”, despite me continually telling him it was Quigley.

I couldn’t understand this as it wasn’t as if he hadn’t attended All-Ireland hurling finals before in which there had been a corner forward named Quigley.

Davy mixing up the Eoin Kellys no doubt.

The other one would be better craic
