New Fermanagh Manager - 8 Like(s)
Replying To shaggylegend: "I think it's shameful that the players wouldn't endorse Pete to stay on. He has given Fermanagh four years of service where year on year Fermanagh's finest have dropped off and thrown in the towel.
If a great man like Pete McGrath can't get everybody to commit, then the new manager has no chance.
Fermanagh football is going to go to a very low place." Hi shaggy for you to make such criticism without being informed fully of the facts is grossly unfair to the Fermanagh squad who give up of their leisure time freely for the sake of the game. I have every respect for each and every one of the squad members and to us Fermanagh fans, managers may come and go but the players are the most important! The players decision doesn't mean that they didn't respect McGrath's input during his tenure but NO MANAGER is bigger than the team and the future many believe is that Fermanagh could be better off with a younger manager who can bring fresh thinking and who is in touch with the modern game.

Replying To macca999: "Another poor performance and deserved defeat for Fermanagh, the warning signs have been there since the league final in Croker v Cavan we have struggled badly.
Shocking against Wexford, beat a poor Leitrim team and played for 10 minutes just v Antrim, so alarm bells have been ringing long since the league final.
The first half is possibly one of the worst i have ever witnessed from a Fermanagh team, which has many to contenders to beat with over the years given some displays endured. The lack of intensity and willingness to kick the ball made it easy for a limited Laois team. The fact that Che Cullen had kicked the best score for us says alot.
From the stand it looked like a few of the lads had taken their imminent flights to US a few days ago as they certainly wernt in Brewster Park this evening.
When a player is getting taken off after 25 minutes in first half and isnt injured, it would suggest he shouldnt have been starting in the first place.
Ryan Jones ill discipline has been shown through the years and again he punished his team with a silly strike before half time.
Some of the wides and shot selection at times were shocking, Kelm had 4/5 wides alone, his confidence looked gone. The start of the second half managed to claw it back to lead by a point before the customary goal gift occurred.
The extra man certainly took its toll in closing stages however Fermanagh still kicked some awful wides to get level on number of occasions. Laois made good use of the mark twice, the fact they kick the ball helps exploit this attacking tactic, the only player that took a Fermanagh mark was a player who hasnt got the ability to take such scores.
The best performers for Fermanagh on a poor poor display were Che Cullen, Flanagan,McGullion and Lyons.
Id say that be the last see of Decky McCusker, Breen, Ryan Jones and possibly Sean Quigley in a green jersey. Darragh McGurns absence has hit the team hard, id like to have seen Ciaran Corrigan on alot earlier.
The league campaign is long since forgotten about about the last few weeks, based on these displays shows how much of a miracle it was Fermaagh got promoted to Division 2, staying there looks like will be a mammoth task right now." I agree with some of your game analysis but I would question Donnelly's role too as he doesn't appear to tackle the repeated issues that has plagued the team in recent outings.

Well said Wired! However, I doubt if it will change Macca as he is frozen it time when it comes to team selection. He forgets that the team needs to refresh itself with more use of new recruits in order to gain experiy and maintain the team going forward.
Anyhow, the main reason I came on today is to question the massive £2.5m plus additional investment in enhancing the white elephant facilities at Lissan mountain top like location that many see at dead in the water.
Instead of investing in top quality county team management, as the Wired poster suggested, the top dogs in our county GAA see the failed Lissan project as the way forward and according to the Herald this week the Win a House draw is drastically short of its of overly ambitious £2.5m target with only a fifth of tickets sold with only a few weeks to go.
With the worst cost of living crisis in decades they are now pressuring each club to sell at least 300 hugely priced tickets at staggering £100.00 each. Are these guys living in the real world?

It's an absolute disgrace that a game should have to be played for 90mins plus. Extra time, extra time is a joke. Where's the welfare of the players consideration it that? A penalty shootout would be a kinder option. The one thing we takeaway from yesterday's final is that no team is conclusively superior and the senior championship is all to play for.

Macca reminds me of my grandpa's donkey as when things were going good eating fresh carrots he was boastous but when the feeding was sub standard he would kick back with hind legs. Similarly, Macca is all praise for Fermanagh for now but if they lose badly in the next games he will lambast players as happened last season with his over-the-top criticism of goalkeeping which caused uproar on this forum. So his dismissive, if not arrogant, response to wired2themoon was unwarranted.

Replying To macca999: "Deep breaths and alcohol were needed after yesterday evening in Brewster Park, have experienced many tough games with Fermanagh but that one is certainly top of the pile.
Im sure plenty like myself have given it lots of thought since, so nothing said is rash or in heat of the moment, fully appreciate that these lads give their all and commit so much for the jersey.
To the game itself, a good first half, Fermanagh were well set-up defensively forcing turnovers and kicked some good scores on break with McCusker, Cassidy, Kelm and O Brien, Antrim were poor, they looked scared to shoot and kicked in hopeful balls that Fermanagh swept up with Lee Cullen outstanding and team good workrate.The fact that Fermanagh only had 4/5 kickouts said alot and meant a major weakness wasnt being exposed. At Half time in good position, probably left 2/3 scores behind including goal chance when Cassidy should have received ball on square for a palm in but instead shot taken.
If one passage of play epitomised the change of game and what is wrong with football in general currently it was on stroke of half time, Antrim were on the ropes, 6 points behind, hanging on, 1 minute injury time, Fermanagh get another turnover, chance to break and go 7 points ahead, rather than go for the score(which was free hit as ref would have blown if kicked wide etc)we slow the play down, throw ball about halfway line for the minute and ref blows it up, no conviction or killer instinct, that signalled for what was to follow.
The second half was as poor as have witnessed, 3 point return against Div 3 team at home, expected Antrim to come bursting out at half time but they didnt make that early impact and Fermanagh passed up few chances to again kill the game off. Some poor decisions and shot selection, allowed Antrim hang in there as Donnelly said himself.Fermanagh must be only county team that can miss the fisted points over the bar. The Antrim bench made significant impact but we definitely rolled out the red carpet, in first half defensively solid Antrim couldnt get beyond 45, second half press non existent and let them run freely into scoring zone and win frees for Byrne to convert. Did we think game was one so happy to allow Antrim saunter up field?
Due to minimal kickouts first half our midfield weakeness wasnt exposed but second half was clear as crystal that we dont have a the ability win possession in midfield. You could smell the sense of fear every time McNally had a kickout, Antrim grew every time as squeezed up on the short kickouts to put pressure on,(its been a common theme all season, teams sense and thrive on this)
The kickout strategy of all bunching in middle and breaking really isnt working and hasnt worked, teams easily block it and know they can turn us over if put full press on. The responsibility isnt solely on the keeper, the primary aim of midfielders and half forwards is to win possession or the breaks when ball kicked out, no evidence of this, combined with lack of hunger at times and Antrim kept coming.
Never have been at a game where team 5 points up but felt inevitable that they would lose but thats position Fermanagh were in, everyone in Brewster could see what was going to unfold, its not even that Antrim were flying it, they missed a 13 metre free. It is a young team, Cullens are experienced but dont think are vocal leaders on team, only Decker McCusker has that experience and vocal presence, midfield and further up not much leadership, would it have benefitted team in this period to bring on Aidan Breen or James McMahon solely to try get some control back on pitch and try stem the tide.
The second half was riddled with errors and poor decisions, Fermanagh blown up 4 times for needlessly overcarrying the ball. Then some players pointing to scoreboard in second and saying to Antrim players look at scoreboard, i always told let the scoreboard do the talking and scoreboard only counts on final whistle, a harsh and deserved lesson there. At least it didnt go to extra time as would have only delayed the inevitable outcome.
Before speak on management and future have to look at bigger picture, which is fairly bleak, Fermanaghs record at both minor and under 20 last 3 years has been abysmal(this has to be addressed and reviewed),so not sure if there will be many players ready to come in and lift senior teams from those panels(if anyone has any players that can please feel free to suggest!! Its a huge step from 20s to senior but certainly with players losing matches at minor/under 20 level there already coming into senior set-up probably lacking confidence and with slight inferior complex which Fermanagh always seems to suffer with anyway. Over the last number of years Fermanagh have lost players through retirement that had serious ability and skill that couldnt be coached, it was natural and we dont have anyone to replace them. We havent won an Ulster Senior Championship match since 2018 either!
A change of management certainly wont fix any of the above alone!
After yesterdays capitulation it is hard to see how Kieran Donnelly will stay on to lead the group, no quick decision will be made and he has completed a 3 year term so no doubt review will be done before anything decided. Kieran Donnelly is a top Fermanagh man, loves his county and always wore the jersey with pride and wants to improve the team, gives 100% dedication to the cause, nobody can question that, Kieran got us to Division 2 which i think was an achievement and the best could have asked for with the panel of players, slightly unlucky to get relegated and missed the few players that stepped away but the Cork and Louth games were hugely costly. The tailteann cup hasnt been great again, the group games papered over cracks against limited opposition, the minimum objective of a semi final hasnt been achieved at home to an Antrim team who werent even at their best, so thats an honest disappointment. I wouldnt have expected any progress from semi finals as think other 3 teams are cut above us at moment, yesterday certainly reinforced that.
I dont think the Fermanagh Senior role would generate a host of applicants and cant even think of any potential candidates for a replacement if needed. Other then love of county, which know Kieran has, i cant see many reasons why he would stay on, in terms of players to come in and strengthen it, Ryan Lyons, maybe Luke Flanagan if back, plus Stephen McGullion(Midfield a huge issue), any others?
Division 3, Sligo and Kildare will be strong favourites to get promoted,, then have Antrim, Clare and Laois, unlikely would be consistent enough to be in contention to get the 10 points to even have chance, id say mid table Div 3 at best. Then in Ulster rankings we are the 9th best team in Ulster, looks a even tougher job now than when first took it as the gap between teams continues to grow time will tell. Obviously the set-up of management for senior team is important but county board need to look at county as a whole from development squads up if want senior team to be competitive. Louth and Sligo are prime examples of this, counties with similar resources who are producing good younger players who are on pathway through to senior.
Last thing, if yesterday was the last games for Decky McCusker and Aidan Breen in Fermanagh jerseys want to say huge thanks to both of you, 2 great players who always committed to the cause and are top role models for the younger players in county that want to wear the green shirt." macca999, I have to disagree with your over critical assessment of Fermanagh's performance and the overall situation of the team. While the loss to Antrim was certainly disappointing, it's important to consider the context and avoid a reaction that is too negative or dismissive of the team's efforts and potential.
First, it's worth noting that Fermanagh's defensive strategy in the first half was effective, and the team showcased solid skills and organisation which was reflected in the healthy lead at HT. The turnovers forced and the good scores on the break indicate a team that is well-prepared and capable of executing a game plan. The issue wasn't a lack of ability or preparation, but rather a failure to maintain that intensity and focus throughout the entire game. This is something that can be addressed through targeted training and mental conditioning, rather than an overhaul of the team or management.
Secondly, while the second half was challenging and Fermanagh's performance dipped, it's important to recognise that this can happen to any team. The lack of team leadership on the field and from the sideline you mentioned is a valid point, but it is something that can develop over time as younger players gain experience and confidence. The idea of bringing on more experienced players like Aidan Breen or James McMahon to steady the ship might or might not have had any significant impact.
Regarding the broader picture, it's true that Fermanagh's record at minor and under-20 levels has been less than stellar recently. However, this doesn't mean the future is bleak. With the right focus on development and nurturing young talent, there is no reason why Fermanagh can't produce strong players who can step up to the senior level. This requires a long-term strategy and commitment from the county board, coaches, and the community. Many believe that too much emphasis is put material development such as the Lissan white elephant rather than employing quality development personnel that have a vision not unlike Donegal's McGuinness.
Players must believe in themselves and that's where the Fermanagh management haven't lived up to the physiological challenge.
As for Kieran Donnelly, I believe it's too early to call for his departure. He has shown dedication and has achieved significant milestones with the team, such as reaching Division 2. The issues faced this season can serve as valuable learning experiences for both him and the team. A review and perhaps some adjustments in strategy and support are warranted, but not a complete change in leadership.
The situation isn't as dire as it might seem. With a few tactical adjustments, a focus on nurturing leadership within the team, and a commitment to developing young talent, Fermanagh can bounce back stronger. It's crucial to remain supportive and constructive in our criticism, fostering a positive environment for the players and management to improve.
As for your suggested panel departures, that was going to be on the cards simply because of their age. However, I heard the one key team member may stay in the hope of an AllStar which he was hoping would come this year if Fermanagh had won the Tailteann Cup. I guess the only stars he will see will be on a clear night as his county player career journey eventually comes to an end!
Anyway, on the brighter side of things, Fermanagh's exit allows our players to focus on club football which is the bedrock of the sport. Maybe you macca999 would take interest in club football beyond you passion for the county and support your division two magpie outfit which you appear too embarrassed to talk about!

I have to disagree with your perspective, Kesh GFC. While not singling out any player or players, I understand the frustration and disappointment after a tough season and a difficult game, it's important to consider a few key points before calling for drastic changes like letting Donnelly go.
Firstly, every team goes through challenging phases, and it's not uncommon to have ups and downs. The transition from one season to the next involves numerous variables, including player injuries, team dynamics, and even the strength of the opposition. Judging Donnelly solely based on recent results without acknowledging the broader context might be unfair.
Secondly, it's worth noting that team building is a gradual process. Fresh blood and new ideas can certainly invigorate a team, but continuity and experience are equally important. Donnelly has a deep understanding of the team's strengths and weaknesses, and with time, he can address the issues that have arisen this season.
Moreover, game management issues and difficulties in winning kickouts are valid concerns, but these are areas that can be worked on and improved with targeted training and strategy adjustments. A knee-jerk reaction to replace the manager might not necessarily bring the desired improvements and could disrupt any progress already made.
Lastly, while the current performance might not meet expectations, dismissing the potential for future growth under Donnelly's guidance overlooks the possibility that the team can rebound and perform better with the existing framework. Instead of an overhaul, a constructive review and support for strategic adjustments might be a more balanced approach.
In essence, while it's crucial to address the issues facing the team, a more measured response that supports the current management while making necessary improvements could be more beneficial in the long run.
Hopefully, macca999 doesn't join you calling for Donnelly to be ousted and is more moderate in his response to tonight lost.

Replying To macca999: "LongfordgaaAbú, its okay, ekn_teacher has used every stone in Quinns Quarry at this stage he has thrown that many, not sure what school he teaches in that has class during easter holidays either, think Joke School is open 365 days a year.
Derrys heavy defeat yesterday will only increase their focus I would imagine ahead of Ulster campaign, Conor Glass likely be okay and the return of Ciaran McFaul to panel along with a fit Chrissy McKaigue and McEvoy will definitely strengthen their defence back to what it usually is." First of all, m acca you must live in the Freestate as I left of my children for school the morning which I will do tomorrow and Wednesday. Anyway, to you previous long-winded comment the one positive for me was Sean McNally's fantastic saves and his outfield contribution as the extra man. It's great you have bowed to pressure and stopped blaming goalkeeping as Fermanagh's main problem. I thought Quigley wasn't as useful as I expected. Jonny Cassidy lost possession of the ball too easily but I would guess he was targeted as part of Cavan's plan. Fermanagh will learn a lot from the experience although the forthcoming game with Derry will be definitely be challenging. Let's hope for the best.

Replying To macca999: "Very true ltown1234, cheaper then going to cinema, it seems some only chirp in here to snip oat others opinions rather than give their own contribution, ironic a poster named teacher then having spelling mistakes.
Seems only a true supporter if think team will win match, so Fermanagh playing Dublin, only real Fermanagh supporter if think they will win:-)
Anyway onto more productive and relevant things, Antrim on Saturday will present Fermanagh with stern challenge and im sure after their near miss v London will be much improved, of the 4 quarters this easily the less clear to call.
Id say will be same 15 that started Laois game, though to get enough scores to beat Antrim McGurn and Love both will need to be on pitch for at least 25 mins if want to hit target to get over this game. Least bench is strong with McMahon ready to come in if defence needs more support, if switches needed make them early before too costly.
Antrim have some very good footballers, Patrick McBride, Ruairi McCann(Aghagallon), while Marc Jordan caused Fermanagh alot of harm last year with his direct running although in different position recently.
Antrim keeper likes to roam out, we may be able to punish another team for a chance with sweeper keeper if push up high.
Hopefully Largo Ellis can keep up his recent good form and Kelm and Sean Cassidy can click in forward line as will need a good tally to win this game.
Hopefully get a good crowd to cheer the lads on and make a semi final double header in Croker next weekend.
Separately, interesting GAA Social Podacast with the legendary Pete McGrath this week, spoke about the Ulster defeat to Antrim in 2014, players called a meeting following week to say unhappy with lack of team game plan and blamed that for result and he admitted they were right. Hopefully same doesnt happen Saturday." Cut the waffle and give us a prediction please. Antrim or Fermanagh to win?

College teams absences are no real loss to the McKenna Cup as they didn't contribute a standard becoming of county level and thereby weaken the status of the competition so macca's perception doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Anyway, I believe that colleges weren't that keen on continuing participating as it affected their own uni-competition so the issue of counties restricted college players wasn't the real reason but it may have influenced the colleges decision to withdraw.
Looking back at the Down game, I would say we will find Antrim more of a challenge than many might think unless the players make more of a co-ordinated effort. Corrigan and indeed Quigley if fit would make the frontline more successful. I await to be inspired by some of these new players but it may be wishful thinking on my part. So don't be surprised if we lose to the Antrim men.

"They didn't contribute a standard becoming of county level" Most college teams are made up of young county panellists? James McMahon (QUB captain), Jack McCann (QUB) and Ciaran Corrigan (SMU) are the only Fermanagh county players to play any significant role in a university setup. So what does that say about the other students on the Fermanagh panel? Can you name the last Kinawley player to feature for their University? I have been reading this blog since the Peter McGrath Snr days and I have just had enough of the generic rubbish that is posted on here without no evidence backing it. This is in no way a personal attack, I'm up for a healthy discussion if you are able to back up everything you say." Mr Douglas, you seem a bit rattled by my honesty but I will make no apology for my evidence based assessment. Although the Ulster colleges have participated for nearly two decades, these college teams have, naturally, emerged as among the weaker teams, but I would admit are by no means the 'whipping boys' of the competition, having won occasionally the odd game or two. Nevertheless, they are not on equal par to county teams or indeed in their universities competition with historically, universities in the south of Ireland have dominated.
As for success in the McKenna Cup the evidence clearly demonstrates this with NO CUP WINS FOR ANY COLLEGE TEAM - EVER!!!

FT result Leitrim 2-7 Fermanagh 1-19. The manager is beginning to earn his money having used the right gameplan making player changes that helped. However, things got a bit alarming at the beginning of the second half with two quick goals from the bogmen but thankfully that momentum wasn't sustained. The result should queiten Macca like the ass as he will hopefully do less kicking of the hind legs such as after the Wexford game.

In my view the referee had a bit of an over reaction to a common enough occurrence on the sideline (not condoning it) and left many in attendance perplexed as to what happened." Keep in mind that the Leckers are well used to unseemly behaviour, dirty tactics on the field and verbal activity and my dad says he remembers one of your veteran players (well-known since) for his dirty play.

There is a growing school of thinking that our county football produces little or no success and should take second place to club football and clubs should have first call on their players within reason, rather than the county. That way we will see improvement in both the club league campaigns and club championships. I rest my case.
