Hurling in crisis

[Mac]

@Fagan ODowd

In reality hurling doesn’t need much improving, so this committee was always going to struggle to come up with meaningful proposals.

One of the missing sections is about integration with Camogie. I’m beginning to regret even posting this stuff now.

Instead, the bottom Leinster Round-Robin team would be relegated to the Christy Ring Cup while the Christy Ring Cup champion would be automatically promoted as a reward for winning the competition.Increase the length of time to play the Christy Ring Cup from five weekends to seven weekends.Play the Christy Ring Cup Final as a curtain raiser to a high profile Liam MacCarthy Cup All-Ireland Senior Hurling Qualifier

The promotion of Hurling they said. Grand, shur play the competition over another fortnight and play the Final before a Clare v Offaly Qualifier in Tullamore. :rolleyes:

In other words, Kildare, Kerry & other Christy Ring competition teams can go and fuck themselves.

Sheedy & his crew of cunts.

I despair when I see a committee like this come out with a second yellow and you’re subbed suggestion. How fucking thick is that?

Any deliberate foul should be a yellow card, actually maybe that is the rule but no one bothers to enforce it. It’s a tough call for referees but the likes of jersey pulling, Kilkenny tackling etc should all be rewarded with yellow cards.

Abuse of a referee should be a red card.

Des Cullinane I’d say.

Can’t wait for the new president’s hurling development committee.

Also wasn’t there already a National Director of Hurling, why/when did they get rid of it?

They claimed butler was spending too much time on the road and not enough setting up the strategy/structures

[Kid_Chocolate]

Got rid of him 4-5 years ago now

A mate of mine from Westmeath told me butler did a stellar job with a few clubs up there when he was in that director position.

I believe he is helping Wexford senior hurlers since last year. Has been said to have made the difference in their training.

He’s a seriously good skills and wrist work coach.

He’s been there for the last 2 seasons I think. I remember a post on here some time ago about Croke Park trying to stop him working with Wexford as he was still on their payroll. Maybe I have that arsedways though. @Bandage might remember.

The GAA had some sort of rule that paid coaches (GDA’s etc) weren’t allowed coach teams (bar their own club) outside of their official role

Would he be allowed to go in as a consultant even ?

Don’t think so. Tipperary Co Board were willing to give John Evans a full time role as a Football Games Development officer 4 or 5 years ago, GAA HQ nipped it in the butt straight away.
