Away to a high profile club in Monaghan I believe.
What is the situation in other clubs with regards to managers?

Burren - new management required
Clonduff - new management required
Mayobridge- new management - Bernie Murray??
CPN - new management required

Castlewellan
Ballyholland - new management - Shane Mulholland
Saul - new management - John Fegan
Downpatrick - new management required
Liatroim - will probably stick with current setup??
Saval - new management required

Brendan Mason & Ruairi Gillen over Darragh Cross next year.

[County Star]

As an outsider it seems absurd that the Down County Board would change the Ref, especially since Kilcoo lost out with their Disputes Resolution appeal. sets a bad precedent. I obviously don't know the cause of the objections, but it beggars belief that any one trying to make it as a national ref would make any statements about stopping a Club winning championships. It will be interesting to see how the Referees respond.

There will be no response, it will be forgotten about in a few weeks and they will all start next season as if it didn't happen. Kilcoo won't suffer, the only person who will suffer is Faloon, he reputation in tatters due to this appeal, zero backing from Down CB or his peers in referees Committee. Wouldn't be surprised if he gave up on the refereeing or went to another county, as its a joke what went on. The phone calls to the county board over the past week would have been constant, threatening no doubt, and Lavery no doubt the ring leader

Very slanderous that last line about Laverty

What is the story there. I would assume as winning the title would guarantee the job, that it is Lacey walking away. Is he based in Letterkenny and travelling 3 times a week?

At what stage are a lot of these clubs going to catch on that throwing money at the problem isn't going to get them past Kilcoo? What's the return on investment realistically. It's a big drain on club cash which could be better used to invest in facilities etc for the future.

[Mourne Red]

Think Lacey is under McGuinnesses ticket for Donegal with Murphy

[Applesisapples]

County Board have asked the GAA to investigate, they have accepted.

Not up to speed with how the whole committee shite works but surely Down CB know what happened within their own competition or what is the reason for getting the GAA to investigate it?

I agree there is crazy money going around, however none more so than Kilcoo themselves of course in order to get to where they are. 2/3 outside men every year and in many cases travelling from Derry and now Donegal, Donaghey in doing S&C for years, stats woman from Donegal this past number of years all whilst investing in the club facilities. Money hasnt appeared to have been an object since they started to become successful right through to now. Its the same everywhere all over the Island. People talk about club coaches doing the job, in real terms with the pressure put on management and and fallouts within clubs and parents (yes parents at senior level) and teams etc, would they want to?

Special mention to our 2 senior team medics after their quick actions assisted Philip Walsh who took unwell after the final on Sunday.

Kilcoo have been successful and they've invested in their grounds and facilities so you can't really question that. It's the chasing pack that are trying to copy them you'd ask questions of.

The in house club managers have their own issues but I'd say the number of players falling out with a clubman and the outside is about the same. The in house one may have a bigger affect long term though.
