Hard to know what to make of this post now. On the one hand it's saying that these managers are getting paid, and on the other hand that Galway are broke and can't pay the manager. Surely both them statements can't be true. And he is wondering why Revenue and the GAA can't do anything about it...

Not much point in any Galway men putting their name forward & managing underage teams from U14 to Senior & winning multiple All Ireland's with them, when they can't even be appointed In the race for Senior Manager. Instead they give it to someone outside the county that has managed no Inter County team at any level & will obviously come at a far greater cost considering the distance he has to come. Something seriously wrong when local candidates can't be appointed & one external candidate is gazumped at the last minute. moc.dna (Galway) - Posts: 1212 - 21/10/2021 13:12:29 2386627 Link 0 |
Don't worry about it, probably went over your head.

He'll be in for the Kilkenny job if Cody ever decides to retire.. a bit nieve to think he wouldn't. Might as well manage elsewhere until that day comes round and I wouldn't see what the issue is. He's got experience and is a proven winner unlike some of the bucks putting their names forward for county jobs these days. Managing his own club to 2 All Ireland's is some achievement. If he gets you silverware you'll not be worried about him using Galway as a springboard.

I think it reflects well on the Board that they snared a top candidate. If these serial underage title winning managers don't impress county board committees, or county senior panelists perhaps, they're unlikely to get the senior manager jobs. There's nothing that you, or I, or anyone else, can do about that. It doesn't reflect badly on anyone, except the unsuccessful candidates themselves, I would suggest.

Of course they get paid why else would they do it? You really think Shefflin has a love for Galway Hurling? Records show only 2 Hurling Managers from outside Counties won Hurling All Irelands with other Counties. And that was Offaly . My point is that there are 2 men Brian Hanley and Jeff Lynskey more than capable of bring Galway to the next level. Galway hurling doesn't need a media circus following it . That will happen now with this appointment. Breffni1969 (Cavan) - Posts: 510 - 21/10/2021 14:44:36 2386656 Link 0 |
Aye, that time they appointed John O'Mahoney from Mayo over the footballers set the game in Galway back terribly didn't it. The county board have appointed a manager who will have the support of the players and the hurling public there, I'd say that's a fairly good outcome for them. Bit disappointing though for those with an agenda.

Your post was proven to be nonsense within the space of a few hours, even on here that is a bit of a record I reckon.

He is using us a springboard for the KK job. Some of his former teammates have dipped their toes in i/county mgt in recent yrs so it was only a matter of time before he made the leap given Cody will be vacating the KK job i would think in a few years. Huge questions on how this is being financed when apparently we had not a bean to play with. I hope the same resource is being made available to PJ and the footballers or you will see a change in the guard at the top table come convention. There will be a change i know as the current chair cannot run again but lots of questions. Having said all that Shefflin is a much better appointment than Davey. The latter would have been like Loughnane back in 2008 and left us in a worse state than we currently are in.

Disagree with atleast have those predictions.... Senior Quarter Finals St.Thomas' v Kilconeiron..................Thomas' Clairnbridge v Tommy Larkins.........The Bridge Craughwell v Kilnadeema-Leitrim....Craughwell Gort v Cappataggle............................Gort Intermediate Quarter Finals Meelick-Eyrecourt v Kinvara..................Eyrecourt Killimor v Sylane......................................Killimor Carnmore v Moycullen............................Carnmore Abbeyknockmoy v Rahoon-Newcastle..Abbeyknockmoy As you can see I'm sticking with so called traditional stronger hurling Clubs for the Semi Finals, this is in noway a disregard for so called weaker hurling Clubs/Areas! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2188 - 21/10/2021 16:18:02 2386683 Link 1 |
John O Mahoney had a track record as an Inter County manager, Henry doesn't. You seem to have difficulty grasping my posts but I understand in your rush to ghost my comments & knock them as you have done over the years, your rush to vent your anger on me clouds your judgement, hilarious as it is. If I was to worry what you think or what records you think I created here, I would be worrying about nothing. Henry Shefflin has been welcomed by the general hurling fraternity in Galway, but that doesn't mean we can't question why for example Mícheál O Donoghue or Lynskey or Hanley weren't given the job & also how is this been funded when everyone knows the state of the finances. He might be welcomed but he will be judged on results. By the way, everyone in life has an agenda, just like your agenda here. Anyways off out on the bike now & leave it to you, byeee. moc.dna (Galway) - Posts: 1212 - 21/10/2021 16:27:30 2386685 Link 0 |
Has the problem of a non-Galway man managing the County disappeared overnight? Ban (Westmeath) - Posts: 1410 - 21/10/2021 16:28:57 2386687 Link 1 |
Yes and I had the facts and am happy to post it, you are still going round and round about being employed by the cab.Shefflin is a good appointment, let's hope he is ruthless enough to make the hard calls that are needed to get us back to the top.

If King Henry can't make AI SENIOR hurling winners out of Galway, then I doubt that there's a man in Ireland that could. He's got 3 years to do it, and I'd say he'll fully need 'em. foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 1887 - 21/10/2021 16:40:59 2386691 Link 2 |
Sure its no wonder I can't follow your posts, they just ramble on and are full of contradictions. I recall you stating here before that you are a Galway man but only go to rugby games and would never give a penny to the GAA in the county, tis no wonder you are so out of touch with it all. I'd say anyone who has the best interests of Galway hurling at heart are pleased with the appointment. I don't know what sort of revelation you think it is that Shefflin will be judged on results, I don't know of an intercounty manager who isn't judged on results.

Clearly not, judging by the nonsense from some posters on here. Most I've heard from think it's a positive appointment, but we'll see how it actually pans out on the pitch. Looking forward to next year and I wish him the very best in the role. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2018 - 21/10/2021 17:31:09 2386704 Link 0 |
For a Galway hurling supporter like yourself all your posts are very negative about the Galway team. Were you as negative when Micheal Donohoe was in charge when the AI was won in 2017? Cheer up a bit - it might never happen!
