He probably wants to be seen to be tough considering some of the criticism he got last year
Some fairly stupid cunts starting to emerge on this thread now.
Thanks for clarifying my point.
What point? that you make random useless comments on my posts because you are a deeply insecure person.
If he is bending to local media then he is a weak person. He should do it his way. however it was a general comment on all GAA. You stupid cunt.
You have an issue with Managers dropping and adding players to their squads? A media announcement then is another problem?
Are you being serious here?
Yes i have ab issue with these constant media announements. It gives me the impression alot of tgese cunts live seeing their name in the paper.
There is no need for it. the list that matters next is the squad for the first league game. And then the list given to the ref for championship. nothing else matters. if a fella is told he is off the panel it will get around soon enough. tell your friends and family and fuck everyone else.
This is all part of the bew jumped up status of IC GAA player, brought on by tgese GPA cunts who are driving the club into the ground.
I realise pubstooler West Brits like you wonāt get this, but there is no contracts. this is simply representitive playing. a County is you represebting your club. you are not hired or fired.
Donoghue wouldnāt be the type to deliberately embarrass lads (except in Collinsā case) which weāll give him a pass on. Surprised Cyril has been cut.
In English please Kev. You are all over the shop.
Are you really saying a Manager hasnāt the right to drop players from a panel and then ask them back in?
These lads had no issue hanging Cunningham out to dry, Cyril I thought had something still to offer but the writing was on the wall for the rest
You dumb fool.
Thats exactly what i am not saying. He has that right.
So the media canāt report on News that is already in the open domain?
Nembo style or arguing i see. you really have nothing at all yourself do ya?
The ppint is its all nonsense. there should be no announcements.
But sure the reason for the announcements is that the media will announce and speculate one way or the other. You canāt win. Players have came out in the past complaining about the way they were let go from panels as well. See Dublin hurlers this year for example. Panels disband at the end of the championship and the manager should have free reign to bring whoever he wants for the next year and shouldnāt have to pander to former players who are deemed surplus to requirement. Of course itās common courtesy to thank someone for their service but if you donāt make a statement thereās a chance the media/player will put a negative spin on it and cause disharmony in the camp.
Fair point. but i still donāt agree with all this nobsense. Every manager now is ācullingā and āchoppingā players. and as you say, they are just not being choosen for the next competition panel.
Iām surprised Cyril is gone, but I have every faith in o donoghue.
Am I the only one who canāt see any sign of any press release or media announcement anywhere? These are all word-of-mouth articles by the look of it.
Yeah but in fairness to managers itās the media and lads on places like this using those terms. Also if donoghue kept those lads training up to the league and then dropped them from the panel heād be getting stick for that as well. The way things are now with media especially online you are always going to get criticised no matter what you do. Paper never refused ink as the saying goes. Look at all the attention Waterford got when they changed up their panel. All the media talked about and asked McGrath about was the switch up in personnel for the first six months after he did it
If Cyril was going to do anything in a Galway shirt he would have done it by now, itās probably best he went and somebody new be given a shot
Heās knocking around a long time now and it must be said that heās very average for IC level. I can only remember one great performance (Kilkenny in Leinster final). Canāt fault the man for his efforts over the years but heās no massive loss.
Cyril is well past it lads.
Iād always have a soft spot for Tannian. Hate seeing him dropped.
