Liam Cahill must be absolutely seething.

Interesting dynamic there as Liam Sheedy’s brother has been a selector in all of Cahill’s set ups.
I’m conflicted about the appointment to be honest. I know from talking to a few of the players of his previous tenure that he was an excellent manager.
He’s been out of intercounty for a while but has managed to keep his nose stuck in the game.
Ahem… August 2nd.

Cahill wasn’t led along at all. He stuck to what he wanted and didn’t give in to pressure from the county board to change his backroom team. I believe he knew he wasn’t getting the job for the last few weeks, though he probably thought it would be his Ballingarry clubmate who got it
The cloak will descend tonight.

Might head to that double header in Nenagh Saturday week. Say could be a good atmosphere up there.
Kilruane any hope? Or would they just be happy with the north.
They’d have a decent chance. Only got beat by Sars by a point last year

A few cans of Guinness will be bet into.

This is going to leave a huge void on various committees.
Derek will take up the mantle.

It’s a strange appointment by Tipperary and one that smacks of desperation a little bit.
Sheedy is a good organiser and motivator but he’s most certainly not a coach so his backroom set-up will be interesting.
He was in last-chance saloon when Tipp got over the line in 2010 and he cut and ran afterwards knowing that he’d wrung all he could out of them following the disappoinments of 2008 and the 2009 All-Ireland choke.
Cahill is a surly individual and must have pissed some county board hacks off at some point. His teams have been very good, though and I thought he had earned his chance.

His success will depend on his backroom team.
This is all wrong in fairness. He inherited a disaster when he took over and did brilliantly to win Munster in 2008. Then in 2009 the influx of the 2007 minor team players brought the team to another level but they certainly didn’t choke in 2009 either
1994 is a choke mate, 2009 was not a choke.
