No Offence taken, It was a big game in Wexford Park. However, I would note the way Tyrell and Cusack brushed over Antrim and Carlow's performances last Sunday. They were light years apart, Carlow had Galway down to 4 points with less than 20 minutes to go, fair enough Galway pulled away at the end but it was a very strong showing by Carlow who were also missing some key players. Antrim lost by over 30 points! Carlow ended up losing by 11 while hitting to post and crossbar in the second half. Jacqui Hurley also said on the RTE Pod that it wasn't Carlow and Antrim's finest day, what did she expect, did she expect Carlow to beat Galway in Salthill?? Cusack is always pontificating about hurling needing oxygen yet when there is an opportunity to credit Carlow given their tiny resources, it doesn't happen!!

With that tone of voice I'd say the players had to be woken up to go out on the pitch…!

You are neglecting his other managerial successes, not least of all with Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibne which has punched way above its weight in winning two All Ireland secondary schools titles (Hogan Cup) and continues to produce Gaeltacht, Daingean and Kerry players at all levels.

Fitzmaurice was in charge of Kerry for 6 years not 7 and he did manage an All Ireland when least expected.Kerry only lost 5 championship matches i/c of Kerry and 3 of those were tight games against Dublin .As Barney posted he also did great work with his school winning All Irelands no one expected.He was nt a bad manager and he is very knowledgeable.

Knowkedgeable alright. He gives analysis on the game he's watching rather than tell you what you've already seen on camera with a few clichés thrown in. Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 1419 - 26/04/2024 09:00:29 2540704 Link 1 |
Thanks for the correction, yes 6yrs, but he did only win 9 from 17 championship games outside Munster. Also a 64% win rate in all competitions with Kerry. Would many/any Kerry managers have a lower win percentage?
