Quote from: Butch Cassidy on May 24, 2024, 06:37:39 PMLaois have a good man at the top in Shane Keegan. It's up to the clubs and schools to be feeding players into the underage teams otherwise it doesn't matter who is over them. Clubs should be encouraging volunteers in and then upskilling them as coaches. More GDOs are getting rolled out and more are required and needed to liase more with the schools.
What are numbers like at the clubs at an underage level? What's the standard like?

It has really changed the course of the game with Dublin coming back into it.
Plus they'll be against the wind in 2nd half.
A red card for me. Reckless when ball was gone.
You might be right. Me I am not sure about it. The thing about it is though Burke didn't have to make the hit. He deliberately laid the man out and left the ref with a decision to make. The ref didn't have the benefit of slow motion replays and after consulting with the linesman Burke was gone.
It cost Galway the game and possibly Henry his job

Quote from: Wildweasel74 on May 26, 2024, 08:36:11 PMThat 5 out 8 finals for Derry in 10yrs and a semi final with a losing Ulster final team few yrs bck. Good going at underage. Need Start a big focus on the U20 level and let them play their level. We let a couple finals go past few yrs.

He could transform that team if given time.

That's success for Antrim.
What are Dublin doing that we need to do?
Dublin should be what we are looking to get to

Would Meath not get their U20 manager on board?
They need a rebuild with that minor and now that U20 squad.
O'Bric should be involved in any set up but I think we need a proven senior county coach. O'Bric can take the senior role eventually.
Malachy might be an option but I would also look in Dublin as well for a manager and coaches. Someone who has been involved with Jim Gavin.
I'd go for obric and Brennan as joint managers. New fresh and know what is needed. They have a huge rebuild to do. Colm has brought us to the lowest level I can remember, we went from 25k expenses under Andy to 125k under Colm in one year. To do what ? Lose our seeding in Leinster, get beat by Offaly not qualify for all ire first year. Yea we won tc beating div 3/4 teams. Lucky v Antrim and Down. But we got there. Again this year no improvement in league and now another disaster in championship. Colm is not a senior manager Latin phrases won't put the ball over the bar. I'd like to see a statement from Meath cb saying that at end of campaign we wil be moving forward with a new appointment
