Rory Gallagher

[JoG2]

Mark Doran, he not just a trainer? I went with Gallagher and just took the flak. Who did the Derry clubs put forward, saying they had a say in the selection process?. Sure Derry little support when we were in Div 3/4, be heading back that direction by the looks of it.

Is he not managing Slaughtneil atm?

Derry clubs, well the majority went with Gallagher

Maybe give the man and his team (if this does transpire) a chance before writing them off sure

[Wildweasel74]

Well that was sort of my position on Meenagh, give him a year to see how he goes. I thought originally he wasn't offered the chance. But apparently he was asked before Harte.

[LoughNeagh]

Mark Doran, He'll do grand. Give him a chance.

[the goal was on]

Monaghan or more worrying Westmeath  weren't impressed enough to give him the job. Though that's not to say he won't be perfect fit. But it's fairly obvious he was nowhere near the list of candidates a few months ago.

I heard he wasn't asked, hence why he went to Down. These old Chinese whispers are a bollocks.

Derry Had meeting tonight. highly likely they'll not take him back?

But the amount of people who've turned it down is crazy.

I would give him the job cause he'll take no shite and he might actually yet again have a chance of winning something with them but that's my opinion 🤷🏻�♂️

It's a rock and a hard place now for Derry.  The will they/ won't they regarding Gallagher is just making it harder- the longer the process,  the more difficult and unappealing it becomes, the more the scrutiny is magnified,  and the shadow of Gallagher will be hanging over the whole time.
It just seems bizarre, given the player resources which would be far ahead of the vast majority of counties.

Am I right in thinking he hasn't been prosecuted or convicted of anything?

Has full custody (as I understand it) of his children.....rare as hen's teeth that a man gets that.

Yet we have all-stars with serious violent convictions playing away and winning awards.

Let him manage away, the noise will die down in days

I think he only has full custody because his ex wife has a drinking problem brought on by what he put her through.
No idea if it's true but I trust my source who said he was a victim of abuse in the past. Not that that excuses anything he's allegedly done but it would explain a few things.

There's no way of knowing why he has full custody but courts are very conservative and diligent in terms of investigating etc. They still make mistakes of course but speculation is exactly that.

Burns has overstepped the mark here. Its not up to him to dictate to clubs who involved with them. He had some fun with some men playing in Derry years ago who done serious time. We had player troubles in the county, plus few from Limerick. He stayed dead silence on the issue in the Armagh county team. Does he weight in when it suits him, when he can't sort out the gaa rule book on discipline issues. He want to change the name of certain clubs based on who they named after nxt?
