Liam Kearns for Manager of the Year?

(Oldest Posts First)

Takes over a Division 3 county and gets them to an All-Ireland semi-final. Some achievement.

We let Kearns go in Roscommon last year to let the dream team take over.! We'll know at 5 o'clock on Sunday if Liam Kearns is Manager of the year but whatever happens,he's done a great job with Tipperary footballers.

Could do with another of his ilk in Limerick. The progress he made in Limerick has more or less been wasted now and we are where we are.

Diarmuid O'Connor may pip him to that award.

Given the players he lost, the lack of support within the county generally, and the division they came from he is in my book, Regardless of Sunday's result.

Quinlivan is too old for young poty. Diarmuid O'Connor is surely nailed on for that award.

How is a 23 year old too old for young player of the year but a 21/22(??) isnt?

You have to qualify for U21 in 2016. Quinlivan is 2 years too old
