Fergal steps down from Roscommon Senior job

[Rossfan]

Disappointing news but I had been expecting it ( from a chat with him plus his comments after the CF and Tyrone games and then his mother dying at a comparitively young age) .
Thanks for the good days  big man and for making us respectable again. Hope the good work you started can be comtinued.
We now need new management teams at U16/Minor/U21/Junior and Senior.
Jeeeezus .. that's a scary situation ....

[sans pessimism]

Sorry for the Rossies.FOD has done agreat job.

[I guess this leaves the door open for the return of 'Tanman', aka 'Sir John' and 'Stylish John', to bring them to a new level.

Tommy ' Tom Carr' would relish a return as well I d say. All that experience.

I know ye hoors don't like us ..... but there's no need to be that bloody nasty .

Mick 'Micko' Dwyer, Tommy 'Tom Tom' Lyons or Shane 'Cake' Curran will be in the running for this?

Roscommon must be one of the few connaught counties Mickey Moran hasn't conquered 

Surprised by the news myself. I know nothing about the lad but he seemed to have the rossies on a serious upward trend and playing some nice stuff.

I was going to say Cake should be the man to take on the reigns, he would be some craic in an after match interview

Cake is currently the manager of a big business so i can't imagine he'll have time for football management but he would be some character on the sideline.

Best of luck to Fergal - a gentleman, a great Roscommon football man, and a brilliant manager. I'm sure he will walk the sideline for Ros again in the future.

It is a huge disappointment to the Rossies I am sure. They face a crucial decision now - get it right and they can build on what Fergal has done, but get it wrong, or delay over it and 2012 could be a disappointing year.

Thats it in a nutshell. Hopefully the current structures are in place that will result in an internal appoinment to manage and develop what Fergal has started.

Best wishes and thanks to Fergie for some great days out and a return to pride and honour in the primrose and blue. He owes his county nothing and is young enough to return again in the future.

There are not many managers in the modern game that are both widely liked and widely respected. Fergal O'Donnell was though. That's a decent legacy. As is the smashing 2010 Connacht title success.

Where is this Connaught place you speak of? I always thought Roscommon was in Connacht.
