County Manager Merry go round

[toby47]

Is Dessie Farrell confirmed back in with the Dubs yet?
Jack O'Connor not confirmed yet with Kerry.
Derry needing a manager
Monaghan needing a manager
Mayo having a review
Tyrone having a review
Meath having a review

There is some scope for a lot of changes this winter

Would it make any difference if Gallagher went in as 'coach' and someone else as manager?

Would that attract less PR or would it make no difference?  Plus would Gallagher's ego allow him to be 'coach' and who'd be the dummy manager?

Soon into September and club championship season in full swing.

Time is of the essence.

Shane Curran to Carlow.

Shane Curran to Carlow.

Went for the Fermanagh job a few years ago and didn't get it. Carlow have said yes to him.

Shane Curran is set to be ratified as the new Carlow senior football team manager.

The former Roscommon goalkeeper replaces Niall Carew in charge of Carlow.

Jim Bolger, Carlow GAA chairperson, is hopeful Curran can make an impact. "I believe Shane's commitment and passion as a player, which continued into his career as a coach and manager, will have a hugely positive effect on the Carlow senior football team," Bolger said in a statement released on Thursday evening.

"Shane's unwavering energy and enthusiasm will hopefully drive Carlow's ambitions to new heights and on behalf of all in Carlow GAA I want to wish Shane and his team the very best of luck going forward into 2025."

Best of luck to Cake. A lovable Rogue.

Jesus that seems like a very, very left field appointment by Carlow..but we'll see how it goes. Bit of a throwback is Cake I'd say. Motivation won't be a problem but you'd wonder is he cut out for that.

Then again he was part of a very professional and top notch Brigids club side and if he brings good coaches etc with him, who knows.

Here if someone on here was called a wife beater. A rapist, or a terrorist, would you not want it actually proofed in a court of law, not Johnny Public says.  Or because its been said and not actually proofed we just take it as fact. Sort remember alot of Irish doing time in England on bomb convictions when they done nothing.

I one hundred percent agree with the above. The problem is he left the Job in the first place because of these accusations. Should he have not stood up for himself if he was innocent?

RG standing down amidst a revival of the accusations against him and some sort of a hames of a GAA inquiry does not imply guilt, its just a standard procedure. In the same vein, RG getting full custody of the kids does not in anyway imply a legal victory against those accusations.

Would the courts have awarded him custody of the children if there was even a possibility of him being violent or having exreme anger issues. Playing devils advocate there, not 100% sure myself but would feel that the children would've gone into the care system if he was viewed as a risk because of a history of violence. You'd have to feel that was well investigated also.

In a custody "fight" in the courts, a woman making allegations of husband abuse is generally not listened to, in fact such allegations generally work against her. Any allegation of spousal abuse would have to be almost proven before gaining any credence in a family court. Family courts do not investigate any such allegations. An abused wife /partner can have acquired "traits" which make her seem less unsuitable to be a parent, however the abusive events which were the causation factor to her being regarded as a  less unsuitable parent are not a part of that debate in the family court. For instance, what if that woman had an emotional/mental breakdown breakdown, had alcohol problems, which identified her as her as being less unsuitable to be a parent, therefore custody is granted to the father. But what is not a part of that court discussion are the events in that relationship which led to the mother's breakdown.
RG was very forward in stating that he was exonerated from those allegations of spousal abuse by the decision of the family court to award him custody of the children.  I say that's poppycock, there is no such exoneration.

No doubt some county will show they've no respect for women and that spitting bollix. Be interesting to see who it is.

Is this true or are you assuming it? It's mad if true

Sounds like it's his opinion and also complete garbage. If there was a likelihood of one partner being violent I'm sure that would play a massive role in custody rights. Any suggestion of violence would be investigated thoroughly as far as I know.
