Heard a bit of Colin Kelly's interview on 103. BigSur (Westmeath) - Posts: 1131 - 02/10/2017 14:14:33 2052408 Link 0 |
Lads I think Colin Kelly will bring the good times back to Westmeath. But we have to be patient. I just hope he brings a backroom team that demands more from players. No success from underage means f all. Hopefully we'll see more young players in the senior that want to play for their county. maroonkingdom (Westmeath) - Posts: 41 - 05/10/2017 10:51:03 2053224 Link 0 |

Feel sorry for Kelly,this is an impossible task and he will find it really hard to get a good coaching staff as most of the best coaches in the county would simply not be interested.Also think it will be impossible to match what cribbin did

If getting trashed in two Leinster Finals, Beating the worst Meath team in 50 years are the good times ye are easily pleased fans with very low expectations.

Reagrdless of how bad that meath team was they still were the first team to beat them im more than sure there was bad meath teams before that WESTMEATH couldnt beat, so dont take away from that achievment. Also trashings or not they only got to leinster finals on 3 other occasions in the history of the GAA. Why are people so quick to put our senior team down on this? i cant understand on some one would say bring the good times back under kelly ? over the last 3 years they gave supporters 7 outtings in croke park are they not good times ? or can some explain what good times are to me ?

You would think we were a sleeping giant or something the way people talk. Jack_Sparrow (Westmeath) - Posts: 1018 - 05/10/2017 15:38:25 2053336 Link 0 |
I was backing people like John Keane, Alan Mangan, Martin Flanagan, all who have dipped there toes in management at this stage, yet I got shot down by many. Now I see Bonnar in Donegal is taking on Lacey who has only retired from football in August as a selector, having no experience at all with running a team, and their getting praised from a height for taking the chance.

michael ennis is managing durrow in offaly b final . would be a good candidate . someone like flan would be a great addition as players would look up to him . paul conway is someone i personally would like to see involved mickcunningham (Westmeath) - Posts: 1806 - 05/10/2017 18:22:20 2053405 Link 0 |
Chops, i dont think anyone would object to any of those lads being a selector or as a coach. What was being objected to was the notion that these guys should get the manager role with little or no experience or success at club level in a manager role.

Kevin hickey and James Duignan are two new selectors anyway.. Westmeathking (Westmeath) - Posts: 54 - 24/10/2017 21:38:05 2057710 Link 0 |
Who is James Duignan? Is he bringing in a coach also? Matthew (None) - Posts: 1008 - 24/10/2017 23:02:02 2057727 Link 0 |
I don't think you're correct on 1 of those names.

James Duignan played with Garrycastle (and may still be playing) and I'd say with the county at some stage, but I may be wrong. He managed Moate this year.

Kilbeggan, not Moate. He finished playing with Garrycastle a few years ago but was an integral part of their team for years. Anybody asking who he is clearly watches no club football. I dont remember him every playing county senior, but he was definetly on the u21 team around 2001/2002.

Oh yeah, got mixed up with Kilbeggan and Moate.
