Talk of an ex-Sarsfields Johnnies man putting himself forward for County Chair.

Jackie Kelly.

If he's honest, has the best intrest of the county at heart how is he gonna pull with the rest of them

Hopefully he gets it then.  So what's the moves if he does.  Who do you get to manage the team.  And what is are realistic goals?

It would seem that being a deviant, corrupt and untrustworthy individual are core characteristics for taking an executive position in our county. Heavens above, is that the best we can come up with?

I am all for initiating radical measures, but I will draw the line in that some degree of decency and integrity as a pre-requisite when taking up a positon of power and authority.

We should all aim to subdugate deceit, dishonesty, tyranny and ineptitude, we have endured and tolerated such traits for too long. More of the same I fear!

Well, heading stateside for a few weeks on holiday, hope you all do not do anything too rash in the meantime?

Mccambridge out for 3 months with concussion. Cushendall haven't fared to well from this county season!

JK is a name I haven't heard of or seen in years? Was he cryogenically frozen deep in the bowels of casement for the last 20 years and has only just thawed out when the credit in the meter run out?

Would there be many out there that think he's an unfairly maligned individual?

I would say most would take a. imilar view to getevennotcross.

But hopefully express that view in a less boring manner. What an absolute bore! Who does he think he's kidding?

[SaffronHeart]

Is there any potential candidates that could unite the county?

Def, thats 3 main players all out with injury. Rotten luck for all of the lads as all 3 had been playing well

Would a new manager make that big a difference
I think player and club hurling standards is a bigger problem
If you look at the league tables there are two down teams 2nd and 3rd in div 1
And a down team top of div 2
Bar LG the rest of the clubs are just not playing well
Is this player standards and lack of cohesive playing systems
Imm sure both down and derry are smelling blood for an Ulster this year

+1.... Pool of players is the problem. We simply do not have enough good teams or enough good players. Is there cause for optimism though?  Hear me out.... Across the county at 10 and below I've witnessed great scenes the past 2 years. Huge numbers of juveniles, decent coaching (an adult for every 5 or 6 kids), and the so called smaller clubs competing with the bigger clubs (Glenariffe being the prime example although there are others). For the love of god keep this going. Keep developing those coaches and most importantly keep the kids enjoying the training and games.You do get the odd club who thinks it's about winning at this age (good luck) but I've seen first hand, if kids are enjoying it, numbers are maintained and grow. I'm not saying it's perfect but it's a massive development from when I was a juvenile.
