Replying To carlovia:  "Bit unfair on Carew who has had to rebuild the whole squad from the Poacher era. I think Darragh is the only survivor from those glory days.

I thought we would be beat out the gate on Sunday but the players responded well to the Wexford collapse and played very well. Carew has to get credit for this if he's getting the blame for the Wexford match.

The team looks very fast when going forward and this result should bring them on."
Ciaran Moran, Conor Crowley, Shane and Jamie Clarke. Ross Dunphy Jordan Morrisey, Colm Hulton. Seanie Bambrick, Josh Moore, Colin Byrne, Darragh Foley all played under Poacher, TOB. Your point therefore just isnt true. Carew has set Carlow back years and if you look back on this thread that point is reiterated by many. Tactically Carlow have nothing, NOTHING. They rely solely on the brilliance of the players which is my point I believe we have as good a group of players we have had in a long time but they are being let down and not being coached in a way that shows we have a good team. Therefore that falls on the management and no one else.

Lads after what is one of the biggest results and best ever performances in terms of Carlow Gaa (either code) on Saturday, coming from 8 points down in the 2nd half to draw with a team that's no. 2 in Ireland being in the last 3 national finals, both league and championship, you're still talking about the football manager!!????
Are you honestly a genuine carlow supporter!
Last Saturday and next Sunday are really the only shows in town with the big boys, anything is a sideshow to be fair!

I was at the game and have been extremely complimentary of the group and the result so yes I would say i am indeed a genuine supporter even moreso because I want the best for the group and the county and I believe that is not the current manager so I think a genuine supporter would care about whether the team has an appropriate manager?? Maybe I am wrong but I dont think so, as I said it was a great result and I absolutely had faith in them (the players) but the players dont get to decide who plays, kickouts, tactics etc etc etc I hope you see my point.

Haven't posted in a short while now. Still buzzing after Saturdays performance. Skill,guts, hard work and determination have all paid off. They fear no team. A little bit peeved off with that nonsense about whom kilkenny were missing as we played without Jack kavanagh and James doyle only back for the last 10 mins. Anyway there will always be knockers. Well done to the footballers too to get a result in a fixture that seems to be cursed for carlow. I'm really looking forward to the wexford game this weekend. As always more in hope than expectation but I'm never surprised what this group are capable of. I hope the carlow public get off their ***** and support this team on Sunday as they've more than earned it. Ceatharlach Abu!
