You can be sure the gaels have been brown nosing him already...

I'd share most of the concerns raised here. It smacks of mercenary type behaviour if these rumours are true, and possibly a bad move in the early days of management for Keogan to risk bringing in another bad attitude to a dressing room already infamous for bitchy overweight primadonnas who'll be only too glad of a new axe to grind over Gallagher.

There's no doubt if he was fit, trained hard and had his head right he'd be a great asset to a team that's always analysed as having 'great forwards' yet sometimes can't hit a cow's arse with a banjo. But there's too many worrying aspects to this whole Gallagher thing. Sure it might turn out to be crap anyway.

How might Fermanagh feel if we met in Championship and he knocked over 0-8?

I can second that alright...early reports from Cavan sessions are that he's running rings all the other lad without breaking sweat...

Judging by this thread there must be an 80:20 ratio of Ulster folk to non-Ulster...

I see in Saturday's star that former Fermanagh ace Rory Gallagher, top scorer in Ulster a few seasons I think, is now training with Cavan and is apparently about to throw his lot in with the Breffni blues. He's living and working in Cavan town apparently although this begs the question, why not tip up the road to Fermanagh and start playing with his native county again? Wasn't he also linked with Dublin a few years ago? Seems to be touting himself about a wee bit, worryingly.

I've heard some malcontent/primadonna accusations levelled about this guy in the past and would worry about his influence in an already troublesome Cavan camp.

Seems you were right anglocelt39, he's defo at training anyway...

It's not rocket science but I hope there's hard and fast rules laid down, along with real punishments, firmly dictating the maximum number of weeks a county board can leave its club players idle for even if its county team is still active in the championship. Players should only be quarantined by a county manager in the week before a county championship game IMO.

Heavy penalties should be incurred by any county board stepping out of line, such as expulsion from competitions, whatever it takes.

This one change would do so much for the club players.

Could we end up with loads and loads of posts most of which aren't worth reading.

Ask Tony Fearon, he's an authority on such matters.
