The fixture list is tight enough right now Seafóid without going down this particular rabbit hole. Happy Christmas.

Would it kill anyone in the GAA top brass to publish the a more computer-friendly version of the fixtures? It's only 22 years into the 21st Century after all.

Has anybody tuppence for the babby?

Can't listen to Ellie Goulding . Awful piercing voice

Adele as well . I really can't  understand her popularity . Very sore on  the ears, that one

Can't bear Lulu - especially that  song Shout.  Oh Christ

That fella from the stereophonics. Most of their songs  I can't hack

Is there anyone you *do* like, is what the world is waiting to hear.

With 30 players then you would expect some good players from less good teams to get in, Sam Mulroy from Louth for instance.

You reckon Pat a, sourced footage of Louth playing and b, watched it? Seafóid is correct. Phil Space to a T.

She very poor to be honest, Cavanagh incredibly bias, not well suited to been a commentar. With Spillane and O'Rourke gone it could get scary this year.

What makes you say so Weasel? Could you be more specific?

I like Joanne.

Offaly man Pat Flanagan and current manager of Padraig Pearses has been nominated by Pearses to become the new Roscommon senior football manager.  Has said they know my CV and know where I am. 

Not sure if that would be a the right appointment for Roscommon, a good and successful club manager but has struggled to make any impact at county level.

I thought he'd been made Longford manager, or is that another Pat Flanagan?

Was linked to the Longford gig by the media and has said today

"It just baffles me at times to see where these stories come from; I've had absolutely no contact with Longford whatsoever"

Thanks Cunny. I stand corrected.

Kilkenny is how you do it... quit the week after defeat and have a new manager the week after!

Why does it take so long for managers to be appointed in certain counties??

Big Lyng was the U20 manager the last few years, was involved in the senior set up under Cody prior to that as well, wonder who's he's bringing with him?

Stephen Rochford.

Anthony Cunningham gone: https://www.gaaroscommon.ie/anthony-cunningham-steps-down-as-roscommon-gaa-senior-football-manager/

Seems worthy of a thread. Work away, and play nice.

Why is he waiting for tomorrow's paper to reveal why?

Mandatory retirement from RTE/RTE contractors on age grounds?  I think he'll be 67 this year.

Good stuff, that means Joe Duffy is gone in January!

Sadly, no. Duffy is an independent contractor, rather than someone employed on an RTÉ contract. So is Tubridy, Ray D'Arcy, a few more.

Outside of John O'Mahony and Eugene McGee who is the last outside Manager to win Sam in the last 40 years?

Sean Boylan  Meath. He a laytrum man.

No. Seán Boylan's mother was from Cloone in Leitrim but Seán Snr was from Meath and that's where Seán himself was born.

Any thoughts on who will take on the Meath job next year?

I think we need to look outside the county and get someone who is in tune with current training and S&C standards.

Malachy O'Rourke might be a good option. Eamon Fitzmaurice has an All Ireland to his name as a coach but not sure if he's up to the task that Meath would present.

Perhaps picking a manager in a top club in Dublin like St Vincent's or Kilmacud might be the most realistic option but that's essentially what Andy McEntee was.

I've a suggestion for Meath. Kevin Walsh. He's a regular guest on the Examiner podcast and from listening to that I think he'd be quite interested in a reviving-a-sleeping-giant project.
