Cant believe Joe Quaid has been let go from Limerick, maybe there is 2 sides to the story (and maybe not!)...he has brought them on in leaps and bounds...very very strange..like most other weaker counties, was the expense of high profile name an issue for the Westmeath county board I wonder...

Methinks the new man in has maybe already been chosen.

Very poor form to treat a man like that. Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 1911 - 26/07/2019 13:18:28 2216752 Link 1 |

i wouldnt say he brought them on in leaps and bounds either..there was a decent panel there and had good underage results. he did get them to Division 1 i suppose which counts but in fairness that westmeath team should have been in division 1 for the last 3 or 4 years anyway...The negative style of play in the cork game and the comments in the week leading up to that game wasnt great.

Didn't hear a whole lot of what he said except the bit where he said "we (or was it I expect) expect to be out of the championship on Sunday evening"...2 things about that, the Westmeath people will say he was running them down before they even pucked a ball in the game, if so I doubt if he did so intentionally, the second thing is you could argue he was doing what most other managers do is talk up the opposition, which he didn't need to do being Cork, but if that's why they dismissed him I would say it was an excuse to get rid of him rather than the reason, if you follow me...

Word is he was confrontational, dismissive of his selectors and created a very poor atmosphere. dakid (Australia) - Posts: 285 - 26/07/2019 14:14:25 2216775 Link 0 |

Everyone within Westmeath hurling knows that the team have went backwards since he took over. Yes they may have won the league but they've been at that stage for the last number of years. Performances on the pitch have dropped with only one forward playing well all year. Also numerous bad decisions throughout the year. Goal keeping decision from management team cost them that McDonagh final westmeathgaa11 (Westmeath) - Posts: 220 - 26/07/2019 14:25:01 2216785 Link 1 |

Doubt Westmeath would have beat Leix with a different keeper. Unless the plan was to play two. carlovia (None) - Posts: 1517 - 26/07/2019 15:26:46 2216810 Link 0 |

Mícheál Ryan the man before him seemed to have massive respect for that team and had belief in them.. Remember 2 years ago in semple stadium they went toe to toe with tipp for 55 minutes or more playing man on man. I definitely think Joe quaid did not get the best out of this team... They won div 2 but not in a pretty comfortable fashion either.

Conceded terrible goals and puckouts misfired, this lad wasn't even on the 26 for most of the games all year, the two goalies who were there for league and most of the championship weren't even in the 26 for the joe mcdonagh final, Everyone in Westmeath hurling know the sacking of quaid was justifiable

Some of these outside managers are out of one thing and one thing only and that's themseves. Fellas from ''hurling counties'' see the likes of Kerry, Westmeath, Carlow, Laois and to an extent Kildare and Meath as an easy way into management with an easy pay day. oneoff (UK) - Posts: 1380 - 27/07/2019 16:31:09 2217132 Link 0 |

Being honest i didnt like him when he was with Kildare. Little or no sympathy. Hes not going to these counties for his love if the game. daytona11 (Kildare) - Posts: 4012 - 27/07/2019 18:27:27 2217168 Link 1 |

Counties like Westmeath Offaly etc. should look inside for homegrown managers who actually care about the cause westmeathgaa11 (Westmeath) - Posts: 220 - 27/07/2019 18:52:02 2217169 Link 1 |

His comments both before and after the cork game left a lot to be desired so I wasn't overly surprised. He doesn't come across as someone that is too articulate or someone that fits the mould of an intercounty manager. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 27/07/2019 20:01:24 2217194 Link 0 |

Spot on with all your points there. There's managers from some of the traditional counties getting these jobs and the only reason is, is because of where they're born. Also spot on with Colm Bonnar. Was disappointed he didn't seem to get a look in for the tipp job last year. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 27/07/2019 20:04:14 2217198 Link 1 |

You often see when jobs for Kerry, Carlow etc come up lads who have never managed any team names being out forward. Then when they get the job the first sign of trouble they're gone. It would be interesting to see how long some of these fellas stay with counties. Kerry have gone trough 6/7 manages in the last 10 years, with some of them going after a year. Offaly and Laois would be up there with the same numbers i would think
