Down Club Hurling & Football

[johnnycool]

God is arriving soon.

Are yous linked with Canavan now??

Canavan would be a better option IMO but I know SFA about the big ball.

[Truth hurts]

its becoming a pisstake now and the top brass need to make a statement soon

It's Down. Hardly surprising.

Yep it's a piss take at this stage

Asked about 10 people who obviously were not interested so went back to Laverty who tried to get Jim MG as the big name which has backfired

Conor Laverty to now be installed as manager with maybe Moran Gilligan on board

If u think Moran is going to go from managing Laverty at club level to being his assistant at county, your badly mistaken

[Targetman]

On the club scene Niall Mc Aleenan's the new Granemore manager

Laverty and Clarke are mad to touch that job. They would serve the county better by staying with the u20s for another year or 2 and then raking the step up.

Why take Laverty and Clarke away from the great work they are doing with the under 20s
Very very short sighted from our County Board
The first winning underage set up in years now we are going to pull it apart to step up to a position that is all over the show
At this late stage they would be safer getting James McCartan or Paddy O Rourke in to get us through next year whilst they sort themselves out

[whitegoodman]

POR away to Carryduff apparently

I have to agree with this....

Why is there a general consensus that this year's u20s can emulate / kick on from last year. Surely it'll be a very different team?

Question for all the experts in the know on this forum, who leaked the McGuinness story , who ever it is should be invited by the county board to be our next PRO, lots of people got played, texts flying back and forth and we still don't have a senior football management team in place, whoever it is will have a little pressure to be a success, and what would those expectations be?
Congrats Kilcoo, the Finn, commiserations Darragh, can see Kilcoo winning Ulster if key players stay fit, An Riocht and the Finn  give it a good go and who knows, new journey no expectations - good luck to all three.
Right Sean og and co, put us out of our misery, this messin about isn't the Down Way!! LOL

[Smurfy123]

McGuinness has played everyone here
Third week of November next week and we still haven't got a manager
Al joking aside and I have fired out some ridiculous names but it's really time Down had a manager in place
Conor Laverty seems now to be the choice it's whether he can gather a strong support team around him

[lumpitin]

Pete mcgrath will end up as manager
