The former Roscommon goalkeeper was appointed last August but has stepped down after guiding Carlow to fourth place in Division Four.

Carlow had won their last two league games against Longford and London but they will now be searching for a new manager.

Carlow are set to face Meath in the opening round of the Leinster Championship on Sunday, April 6th.

In a statement Carlow GAA noted: "Shane Curran has informed Carlow GAA that he and his backroom team are stepping away from the management of the Carlow senior football team with immediate effect. The decision was based on player related issues which he believed were beyond the scope of the management team.

"Carlow GAA is in the process of looking for an interim senior football manager for the championship season."

What's the back story there?

Is he hard to work with?

You'd think he'd have stayed on for the championship.

Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Yes.

At our recent game in Carlow in the League I got chatting to a Carlow supporter.
Said Curran was very divisive.

Panel is like Lanigan's Ball.

I don't know Curran, but I always got the impression he'd start a fight in an empty room.

That Carlow story- sure what about it, they're in London, they've had a good win and a decent enough league by the looks of things. Let lads have a night out they are amateurs ffs.

Wonder what the story is in Meath, looked so bright for them early in the year but wheels seem to have come off.

Having a nick name like 'Cake' is a sure sign of an issue.

Old school will not work in 2025.

Not sure what the issue is in Meath? A fall out? Strange.

McMahon and Corey gone from Meath.

Two top men.

Everything falling apart for Meath now after a promising start.

Anything said for bring O'Rourke back haha?

God no. We were awful under O'Rourke.

The word on the street is the county board weren't paying the 2 lads what was agreed, whether that be expenses or something else  ::)
It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016

Are club teams offering better money than counties, is that what we're supposed to take from this?

Really don't know what to make of this but my first inclination is that we got shafted by these two but maybe there's more to it.

Must be an Arab funding kilcoo. Karl Lacey was travelling over 2 hours from Donegal to manage them. Conleith Gilligan had a journey from Derry too.

Did they leave Meath to take this gig or were they approached after they left?
