this is brilliant

Unfortunately we couldn’t keep him for the following season. Had we I am convinced we would have played Senior, even if it was a short trip up. What Ronan does is make you believe in yourself, but he also encourages a “go for it” mentality. Take the shot on. Be brave. I remember coming on late in a league game against Ballydesomnd that Donnacha O’ Connor controlled single handedly but with a minute left i got a sight at goal for an equalizer that actually in the end would have got us promotion. It was outside of the boot stuff, but a defender got a hand on it and it only made the keepers hands. Game over. I made some mutterings of “shouldn’t take the shot on”, the reort from Ronan was somewhere along the lines of “i don’t give a fuck, go for it again next week”. Thats who Cork have at the wheel.

A favorite saying of his is “take the hand-break off”. When Ronan was appointed Cork Manager I was delighted. I was not a bit surprised Carbery Rangers won the Senior County under Ronan, in fact I made a nice bit on money on it. A team hanging around the upper echelons of Cork football who it could be argued lacked a killer instinct and Mindset to finish the job. Ronan came in and clearly changed that

An incredible turn of events here.

I wonder how he got on with the Brazilian lad who was trying to sabotage his business that time?

It was rivetting stuff.

Top top stuff .

Amazing one of the “podcasts “ haven’t signed him up .

Ronan McCarthy telling his players to “take the handbreak off” is a refreshing change from other managers telling their players to “take the shackles off”

Superb tactical nous
