Leinster Senior, u20 & Minor Football Championship 2019

[Dinny Breen]

Cian O'Neill is Moorefield. He's not a mercenary blow in.

However he is living in Cork.

Rumours are that he will have some sort of role with Munster Rugby next year.

I saw that on the Kildare Forum, where is that rumour coming from? I don't see what role he could do with them bar Head of Athletic performance which was only filled in March by Denis Logan. He also lives in Cork and Munster bar some academy personal are all based in Limerick now.

O'Neill is a very intelligent man, too intelligent for Tomas O'Se it seems, he holds a doctorate and is the Head of The Department of Sport, Leisure, and Childhood Studies in CIT.

He was an exciting appointment for me that didn't work out. Inability to delegate and properly motivate seems to be his big issues. I thought he would have built a high performance culture but seems to fail to understand that failure to perform has consequences. His 3 years have been under-whelming sadly.

Has he attended many Kildare club game the last few years when living in Cork? He must be getting good traveling expensives out of this Kildare senior gig.

You do know Roli Sweeney is his main selector, who actually still played senior club championship last year. Cian was at a lot of games. Kildare have the best players available bar a couple of young lads.

I heard it from a couple of sources. Like everything else it could turn out to be horsesh1t.

He always came across to me as a bit of a lollipop. Last year I second guessed myself and thought I was just being an old crank so I decided maybe I was wrong about him. But now I've reverted to my original thinking (some might say I'm still the old crank part!!) and frankly he's not up to the job. As the bould Eamon might say 'he's a spoofer'.

He's the David Brent of GAA managers.

Not fond of the "Spoofer" term but his interviews are cringe inducing.  I don't think however he'll have any problem getting a gig after Kildare but he's just not cut out to be a manager of an inter-county GAA team and not the first coach to struggle with that transition and won't be the last.

He's been involved with plenty of successful teams - tipp hurlers, mayo, kerry. You'd have thought he'd have learned a serious amount in those years

He reminds me of McGeeney
Looks good on paper.

[Maroon Manc]

Whats the deal with all the Kerrymen sticking the boot in? Did he not leaving them on good terms?

From memory this is his first managerial job which at this level is madness.

That's the really depressing thing. Apart from Ben McCormack (and maybe Eoin O'Flaherty and Ollie Lyons), the most talented players are on the panel. They were all available for selection on Sunday with the exception of Neil Flynn. There are a few like Shea Ryan, Conor Hartley and Ryan Houlihan who might improve the panel but they would hardly be nailed on starters. Paul Mescal is unlikely to ever play football.

Maybe there are a few out there who might not be as talented but are mentally tougher and more resiliant? James Murray springs immediately to mind. Are Matt Kelly and Jamie Flynn up to it Dinny?

The best performers in the first round of the county championship included Paudie O'Neill and Johnny Doyle. Moorefield will be the team to beat again and they are backboned by players like Daryl Flynn, David Whyte and Roli. For all the talk of young talent in the county, a lot of them haven't kicked on since minor level. Luke Flynn is on and off the senior panel as is Mark Sherry. McMonagle isn't even guaranteed a start for Clogherinkoe. Wayne Fitzpatrick doesn't appear to be on the radar either.

Jamie is a bit loose, think the pace of  inter county would be a struggle, Matt Kelly scores 2-7 against Naas in the league 10 days ago, was unplayable, his conditioning has improved but would be better in an inter-county setup. There seems to be an issue with lads not living in Kildare though, that did for Fitzpatrick too.

For all the good carlow are doing
Stephen poacher is sucking the LIFE out of it the man is a narcissist of the highest order.
It really is all about him and what he can get out of Twitter

What club is Matt Kelly? What position was he playing against naas?

[LooseCannon]

I think that we'll go far in the u20, and we seem to have a decent minor panel.

[Jinxy]

In recent years, it has been Kildare, not Dublin, who have consistently had our number at underage level.
A win for us on Monday would be huge.

Round Towers. God don't ask me to nail his position, he started as part of a front 2 and was allowed roam out the field to pick up loose ball, he scored a couple of monster points as well.

Best known for this rocket, 3 years ago.

Banty got a lot of stick when he was Meath manager but the problems outlasted him.
