well, its that time of yaul when the managerial merry go round gets its first push. Any rumours out there on whos taking over what or where? i havent heard much, only know what my one club are doing.. Do ye think we ll have a raft of outsiders in to train? On a hurling front we had a few outsiders in last year, most notable the 2 men on the line in the county final. Another didnt see the year out, another was in the background.. On a seperate note, without mentioning names or clubs, but whats the goin rate for trainers or what sort of bills do clubs face?

we re currently looking at things for next year. Nothing decided either way. Just curious to know what other clubs are thinking.. I heard of a few big bills from other clubs, wknds away and the like.. I think most clubs wud point to player commitment rather than poor management as the difference betwenn winning and losing..

I heard that joe murphy was being looked as the person to replace turlough o brien.
he done a good job with old leighlin last year...

I hope Joe Murphy gets that job.. I really do.

Especially after witnessing the selection and line calls in the county final.

thats a bit harsh now.. he didn't have a good county final but they ripped the blues a part.. got through to the county final undefeated.

I herad of one club in Carlow town payin 200 euro a night. Lunacy or what. We need to be careful not to let this thing get out of hand which it could do very easily. I thought Joe Murphy did a good job gettin Old Leighlin to the county final last year. They had a good league aswell. I hear Pal are after pat roe. Ballinkillen are reported to have approached Charlie Carter from gowran. Eirns Own are keepin Knox by all accounts as are Rathvilly Staying the same. I hear Cas O Brien has been approached by Tullow to do the physical. Fenagh are reported to be in talks with a former Laois manager.This is all hear say so nobody loose the rag its just what Ive heard. No doubt turlough will get a few offers.

as a bkillen man, i havent heard the charlie carter rumour up our way. Dunno has he trained an adult team before? Am sure we ll see a few surprise packets brought in.. Heard that 200 euro a session claim alrite before. Thats an unreal amount.. And then for all the lads to pack in training as soon as the soccer season starts...

Foodbag. How could hickey be in the runnin for the eire og job. Is it not true he was snpped up by Kilmacud crokes

superdexta (Carlow) - Posts: 39 - 19/11/2009 15:52:10    488484

Jayus wud turlough go anyway else in the town to manage? Have my doubts. Hes part of a good team if any club could get him and wogan on board.. Doubt david hickey will take the kilmacud job myself..! the have a bad habit of going through managers in graig though.. Anyone hear is eoin garvey staying with n brid for the year?

Turlough is probably going to be the new County minor manager. Its 95% decided at this stage.

think that would be a great appointment if thats true. He s a good man, and well thought of in the county. Hope he can get all the talent that is there on the pitch.

Best of Luck to Turlough if he does that job. Did a fantastic job with Eire Og and I'm not an Eire Og club man but I'll say one thing about him. I know him a long time and he is an absolute gentleman and deserves success. He won't leave a stone unturned in any job he does.

good appointment if Torough OBrien takes minor job,he will put heart and mind into it,heard from real good source Joe Murphy refused the Eire Og job must feel OLd Leighlin have more to give,bit of credit to him he didnt take the easy option.

Fenaghman (Carlow) - Posts: 28 - 23/11/2009 02:40:11    491428

why do you think joe turned it down ,nothing got to do with the fact he gets a few bob in old leghlin(which he deserves) and eire og nothing but all of the hassle

just so u know joe murphy has not been taken back on as the old leighlin manager yet either! and there is some talk that he wont be!

If Joe Murphy did in fact turn down the eire og job,which i have heard he did, then I think he's really shot himself in the foot,especially if its true that old leighlin havent reinstated him either,as has been said. Who in their right mind would turn down a chance at managing the best team in the county, especially with the team Turlough has left behind well positioned to have a real go at Leinster over the coming seasons.

If anyone was good for the Eire Og job it was Don Walker! He would sort them out no problem! I dont think Joe would have been a good choice anyway as he has a lot to learn still.

Turlough will be great for the county minors if he gets the job. He will have them firing on all cylinders. Look at what he did with the Eire Og Minors!
