Football was on its knees when he came in. I remember him talking about 50 or so lads rejecting the offers to join the squad, he had the bare bones and trudged on. Itās a very competent squad now who play a good brand of football

If they got Danny Neville back from Dubai theyād have a lovely cutting edge

Still probably carrying 4 or 5 lads who are just passengers in his system rather than good inter county footballers. If we could get a few better footballers into those positions we could really push on.

Great to see there are some real die heart football people in limerick and it shouldnāt be seen as the forgotten child. Great to see them build back up

He won an intermediate Abu dabbi title yesterday so the form is good.
Not to knock the man, heās doing fantastic but I think that 50 people turning him down was a myth. I know a few who would definitely be on your list if you were going outside the 25, especially if you got as far as 50 and none of them got a call. Iām sure he got a fair few refusals but 50 is not true.
That said that man is working miracles with them. What I really like about them is they are evolving. They were fucking putrid to watch at the start of his reign, but he got the defence sorted and is now working up. That said they may as well have no full forward line the way they play. But it is attacking in its own way

Danny Neville & Brian Fanning really are massive losses this season but weāve got on with the job.
Good to see Josh Ryan making an impact. His freetaking abilities from distance are a huge asset; one that weāve possibly lacked historically and is a way bigger threat for marks and the likes than Begley ever was, purely for mobility reasons.

Are Neville and Fanning returning next year?

Twice, OāDonnell would have taken them only heād hurt his calf.
Iāve really got into following the footballers and itās very enjoyable. Daragh Tracey should be in the fold soon shouldnāt he?

Neither were 45s, one was probably closer to the 65
He should be. Heās a bear of a man.
Nonetheless he was the victim in that Okunbar photo, of which anyone could have fallen the victim Iād imagine
Treacy was starting against Louth? Didnāt see Wicklow but thought he was playing.
Serious player still.

Sorry ya you are right. heās still only 27/28 Iād say.
Is there anybody else about besides Neville and fanning? Donāt think Neville has much plans to come back soon.
Heās doing two years out there I think
Thereās some group of them out there now from the rathkeale/askeaton / kilcornan area.
