What, he's coached Meath to Christy Ring success in case you didn't notice.

Maybe he could team up with his old team mate Jingo and go together on a dream ticket??

I read this response on the County website in regard to Sambo' comments at the Féile an Phobail talk and thought WTF

Success and hard work?
12th August 2016

Sambo was talking in West Belfast about the hard work behind the success of clubs like Cushendall, Dunloy and Loughgiel. Maybe it's not that 'hard' when you and your club have been successful? Even one winning championship side in the past 20 years will have say 25 players within that club with medals and recognised as a great team. No success, no medals, no Cups, no silverware ( of significance) in 20, 40 years or ever and keeping going - well could that be called 'hard'? So to those hard working ( successful) clubs that Sambo mentioned maybe you don't really know the meaning of hard work ? Hard is when it is a struggle. 'Hard' when nothing of significance is being won; has been won or in foreseeable future likely to be won. Those clubs and those within them starved of success - (the majority in Antrim ) maybe have a different concept of what 'hard' really means? 'Hard' is the experience of being perennial losers because we all wish to be winners . 'Hard' is being on the wrong end over many years of hammerings , trouncings meted out by strong clubs in juvenile competitions . 'Hard' on the young players, hard on the coaches, hard on parents, hard on those in non successful clubs who care... hard going, hard to take. Harder in that it contributes to self inflicted killing off of our games - by ourselves. It is more than 'hard' - it is painful, full of pain to literally see us being the architects of our own destruction. It is those stalwarts who pre- dated the successful era in the likes of Cushendall and Dunloy clubs who worked when it was hard - year in / year out without much to show for it? Maybe hard work and success / successful in the past 25 years extends beyond the 3 North Antrim clubs and before the modern era of their success? But then our world loves 'the winner'?

Is this dispiritedness common amongst our Belfast Gaels ?
