I cant see him going anywhere tbh when he finishes up. The Galway gig did damage to Loughnane and imo tarnished his achievements with Clare in some people’s eyes. Cody wont want that. If he went to Galway or Wexford and they flopped, he’d see it as a stain on his own record

[the_man_himself]

I’d imagine he’ll just manage James Stephens when he goes

[Appendage]

He’d hardly fuck it up a second time?

Although he’s never really let go.

[flattythehurdler]

I can’t either, but I didn’t see mucky at Louth either.

The Bookmarked Posts Thread

A thread to log those Bookmarked posts which thankfully can be put to use at a later date. Poor @Peejaymc

No, not a hope. And I’m sure he’s said it too. Would probably take on the Village minors or u20s.

@flattythehurdler

One for the kk lads. Any chance Cody would manage another county if he was stood down?

[neilld]

Coleman and especially Fitzgibbon would get in at half forward I’d say

Tis only mullockers they’re producing these days.

Hard to listen to a lad talk about Kilkenny hurling when he didn’t know who Mick Dempsey was.

[peddlerscross]

I did know who Mick Dempsey was, I just hadn’t realised he’d left the set up.

Sure mate

[iron_mike]

Explaining and all that malarkey

[myboyblue]

Hard to keep a handle on all those horses he’s on

I’m assuming there’s a typo there in the management and Michael Dempsey is still involved? In truth Cody has really missed Martin Fogarty in recent times. He seems to have been the brains of the operation.

There’s my post. It’s clear I knew who Mick Dempsey was. I didn’t realise he stepped away in October 2019, and shur how would I when there hasn’t been an Inter County game of note played since?

That post is clearly edited

Disappointing to see Michael Dempsey gone. There’s nothing sacred anymore.

It’s the gaa. Home of the manufactured outrage. I doubt you are in any way surprised by someone washing their clean linen in public. I thought it a well balanced, fair, and actually brave piece. It didn’t say anything people weren’t muttering amongst themselves I’m sure, but to drag it into the open, such as these things go, took courage against the potential ire of a man like Cody.

Thank you.

If I genuinely think something, I have always been happy to say it. Of course, there are diplomacy and respect considerations in most utterances, which is proper. But I wouldn’t come from a family shy of speaking of their mind… And so be it.

Do any of the KK heads here know is DJ being replaced on the mgmt ticket? Or who would he their preference of those left.

I was talking to a shrewdie over the weekend who reckoned the primary reason Henry took over Thomastown was to have a scout for players in the intermediate championship. He knows all about the 12 senior teams and this is his chance to run an eye over players in intermediate. My man reckons Henry will be in charge of the seniors this time next year.

People overcomplicating there. If you do not want, genuinely, to manage against your own club, at any point, options become extremely limited (and this issue includes going to a club outside the county who might meet Ballyhale Shamrocks in Leinster or All Ireland series).

A parish man of mine, the evening the news broke, rang me in a tizzy, having got wind early. “You’ll never guess where Henry is going!” he says. “Go on, give a guess!”

“Thomastown,” says I.

Stunned petulant silence. Then: “How did you know, you fucker…?”

I says: “I didn’t, but logic is a good friend.”

Henry is very bright and logical.

It’s the worst Kilkenny team in 30 years

1996 calls bullshit on this.

Shudder
