Welcome to the Board Wicklaman......Are you wicklow people optimistic of a change in fortunes with Micko at the helm..?
Hard not to be hopeful all we'd have to do is win one match and it would be an improvement!!! so fingers crossed
Thought this thread might be about tyres?
Wicklow tread...

wicklaman - Why does there be so many bad stories coming out of wickla - I see this week that a club that was caught up in that brawl got club of the year.... Have you any other good stories about wicklow?
A lot of problems due to mismanagement at county board level same people doing same things for the last 20 years, noobody willing to take a stance on discipline in case they upset clubs, whole thing is a mess really its all well and good having Micko but without the proper structures at nothing.
After what he did for Laois i have nothing but praise for the man,but in fairness Laois were in a better shape when he joined us than Wicklow are now
If i was from Wicklow i wouldn't be thinking about Leinster Finals or anything an improvement in League form would be a good start do you think wicklaman?
A good start would be to see the 21's or minors having a good run in the championship and giving as many of them senior exposure as possible, A good display in champpionship would be good for moral too.
With my brother being an ex wicklow player he keeps me abreast of all things wickla and he has reliabily informed me that last weekends win against carlow leaves them with the same number of wins as they had last year, whats the mood like in wicklow for this year?
Anybody read Paddy Heaney about ODwyer this week. Heaney out of season becomes michievious - a would be shit stirrer. gives Odwyer's preconception a bit of a lacing.
I read it and agree 100%.
Snake oil salesman.
Micko a hype machine alright loves the press. Still getting the response from the players which is a start I ssuppose, still if the money we're investing in him was invested into proper underage structures we'd be a lot better off in 10 years time
How many clubs in Wicklow ?
Irish Times quoted Wicklow senior squad going to train in all 40 club grounds this year.
If there are this amount of clubs there had better be a good explaination for the huge under-achievement.

Micko is a legend. Then again, you wouldnt be expected to understand. You Down lads
cant seem to get your act together in that department.
Just asking - How often have Kerry beaten Down in a Championship match.
Lets face it, Down only win AI when Kerry are at their weakest...christ almighty, what age were Spillane and Jacko in `91 ?
They must have been about 45 !
Micko is a legend and can only do good for Wickliow football.
Its a pity the petty begrudgers have to have a go everytime there is an article about him.
Their envy is transparent.
Wicklaman,
I would be grateful if you could give me a hand with this question from a quiz.
46) The Wicklow senior camogie champions for 2006 boasted two different sets of sisters and two first cousins. Name the club?
Thanks in advance.
Highking
thanks sludden,
Nearly finished this hogantand quiz now. Some seriously funny q's in it.
Everywhere you look in Ireland now theres a cute Kerry man on the make, managing teams of all colours and creeds promising their new employers that they have bottled the Kerry vava voom and will sprinkle it over their 40 odd clubs and achieve unfathomable success. Having been the only Kerry man to achieve victory over Tyrone I give Dwyer lots of credit as being cuter than the rest. However I have a problem with Kerry men having a go at Down men. Pete Mc Grath won 2 all irelands in a committed management career with down and never went back looking his worth off the weaker counties in Ireland.
The travelling mercenaries of Kerry are coming. The good times are upon us. Praise be to the Lord and his industry that doth pays the Kerrymans wage for his honest endeavour.

Another win for the garden county today, beat the model county by 2 points.
Think they're to play the winners of tomorrows Dublin vs Westmeath game.
Fair play to the Micko !
QuoteHowever I have a problem with Kerry men having a go at Down men. Pete Mc Grath won 2 all irelands in a committed management career with down and never went back looking his worth off the weaker counties in Ireland
..being patronized by a Tyroneman...things cant get much worse !

Micko is a legend.............
............. in his own mind!
He is a legend in the mind of all Kerrymen with AI wins allong with Leinster Titles for Laois and Kildare to back up the "hype"
In contrast, think about all the hype that surrounded Joe Kernan with his one AI....so if you want to find hype Sandy hill look in your own back yard.

Ive read your posts for a while now, and you enjoy stiring the shite. How about this for an observation. When Joe took over armagh, they had as much (or as little potential) as laois and kildare when micko took their reins. He however, turned that armagh side into All Ireland winners, and All Ireland runners up in successive years. So I wouldnt call that hype. Infact, there was/is little or no hype surrounding Joe Kernan. And this is the opinion of a tyrone man. You strike me as the kind of irish man that hates everybody Mike Sheehy - including yourself. You've just won another all ireland (well done) and yet here you are wallowing in negative threads.
With both club and county Joe Kernan has proved himself IMO

Puckoon - no one should take from what Joe has done especially at half time in the 2002 final. However what Micko has achieved over a 30+ year management career is simply legendary. He may not have taken Kildare or Laois to an AI title but the achieved more under him than in generations. Getting a Wicklow side a piece of silverware for the mantlepiece is IMO and even greater achievement. And from a pensioner. Hes some man for one man.

read the thread and see where it turned negative ? Did I initiate it ?
Why didnt you defend Mick O'Dwyer against the snide comments made against him in this thread ?
Laois will always be gratefull to Micko,We went from a team in '02 who were knocked out of the All Ireland by Meath by 14 points to winning Leinster the following year beating Dublin along the way and with a bit more self belief and good luck that year we could have beaten Armagh in the 1/4 Finals
Right we are gone down a rung or two on the ladder in the last couple of years but compared to the state we were in pre-2003 it's not too bad.
Micko started all that in Laois and laid the foundations for hopefully will be a succesfull period for Laois in the coming years
1 Man 4 Counties, The Legend.

You didnt turn it negative - but you were in there like a shark smelling blood as soon as It did, resorting to type so to speak. Defending Micko is like preaching to the choir. It doesnt need to be done. His record speaks for itself. Thats why Ill not be on here defending him. Your bitterness however is another kettle of fish, on more threads than this.
QuoteDefending Micko is like preaching to the choir. It doesnt need to be done.
Why did you jump in to defend Joe Kernan so ..? Was it necessary ?

In future mind your own business unless you are prepared to defend your position.
