Rory Gallagher becomes Donegal selector
Rory Gallagher has taken on the role of county selector with Donegal
Fermanagh player Rory Gallagher's intercounty playing career looks to be over as he has joined the Donegal senior management team for 2011.
He will be Jim McGuinness's number two and it is understood he met with the players on Monday night.
Gallagher, who also played for Cavan, is currently living in Killybegs.
He played for Fermanagh in last year's championship but this appointment as Donegal selector appears to end his county playing career once and for all.
Gallagher won an All-Ireland club medal with St Gall's of Antrim in 2009.
Donegal will play their opening match in the Dr McKenna Cup against Tyrone on Sunday.
So Rory Gallagher has played for a club in Fermanagh, played for Fermanagh, tried to play for Dublin, played for Cavan, played for a club in Antrim, then played for Fermanagh again and now is a selector for Donegal?
He doesnt like to keep still for too long - is he on the run?
How can he play for St Galls (and why) if he lives in Killybegs? What does he work at?
I think he (or maybe his wife) is involved in a supermarket in Killybegs

You forgot played for a club in Dublin (St Brigid's) and a club in Cavan (Crosserlough)
He couldn't join another club after the All Ireland final as the date for transferring was in January of that year and we played to March 17th
though i though with moving Counties to live that this was possible
His playing for St.Galls last year was a pure farce as everyone knew he was living in Killybegs for the previous 6 months. His brother lives in Armagh and still plays for Galls.
Gallagher will be a decent addition for Donegal I think. He was an intelligent player (if not a great one) and will bring much needed attacking nouse to the setup.

No they didnt. McGuinness went to college as a mature student, Tralee then UUJ. Gallagher never went to college.

Gallagher went to Sligo IT ?
Gallagher definitely went to Sligo IT, won a Sigerson with them under Martin McHugh. Now he went there, thats not saying he attended any classes, tho I could be wrong about that

Sure am! Born in "The Mana", grew up in Letterkenny and played for the Gaels. Now living in Sligo but not playing, just underage coaching. Unlike Gallagher I didnt ditch my home club at the first opportunity. :P He must get bored easily.
Donegal, Fermanagh and Easkey!

I smell a rat here ;
1.Anyone who knows anything about GAA knows that Rory Gallagher not only attended Sligo IT but won TWO Sigerson medals with them.
2.In all my years living with Fermanagh people at college I have never, ever, heard Fermanagh being called 'The Mana'.
3.Tell us more about the career with Letterkenny Gaels ?

No rats, just the odd mouse. Your housemates are clearly not from Derrygonnelly. I'm a sunshine supporter, not a real mana man.
Don't need to justify my club career. to you or anyone. I was one of the few St.Eunans rejects.
You are right, of course Gallagher won Sigersons, my sarcasm was too much for you. He was at St.Micks a few years after me.
He is an excellent recruit for Donegal.
Has Jim McGuinness ever had a real job?

Now there is a question and a half. Don't know for sure but don't think he has. Last I heard was that he was taking various teams for psychology aspects and was charging an arm and a leg. Now runs his own team training/motivation company in Letterkenny.
aye Jim was teaching at Limavady Tech for a few years.some sort of sport science/ PE course
