From a financial perspective, McKenna has done a great job maximising revenue from Croke Park.
However, I think he is a purely commercial animal and I would worry about the drive to maximise revenue from intercounty competitions by moving further and faster to separate it out from the club game and the unwanted complications it causes.
I want somebody who understands the concerns of the club man or woman in the back arse of nowhere, as DG.
Ideally I would want somebody who has been a club man or woman in the back arse of nowhere, as DG.

Burns did appeal to me but then he started this nonsense about the National anthem and the flag. Wont endear him to some.
Would have thought he would remain neutral until he got the job.

Bar that he would be a good choice and one that can see all sides and not just the GPA which previous presidents seem to have done and is a major bone of contention

Burns took charge of Scór about 10 years ago and left an absolute and utter trail of destruction behind him, making countless enemies along the way. He is a natural politician who would be a disaster as either DG or President.

So no one from a big town or city or club along a main road can apply then?
Haven't all the Árd Stiúrthóiri been club people along the way as opposed to employees in the GAA "civil service"?

No.
Do you want a Roscommon man to get the job or not?

No article then this week I take it. Didn't see him tweeting it out if there was.

Any truth in a rumour he could be considering doing the Irish news.

Please. Anything would better than the drivel they put out at the minute. Kernan about the only one worth reading.

Irish news has gone down hill but surely not desperate enough to take on Brolly? He's entertaining but he blows with the wind. I cant have the man

Even Joe would find it difficult to bluff his way through by rehashing versions of the same article every week in both the Irish News and Gaelic Life? Surely there is far too much crossover readership for him to get away with it like he currently does?

Kernan pulled the pin on his column.

Bring back Paddy Heaney & Against the Breeze!! Best Sports Journo the Irish News ever had. Too busy taking Spin classes these days.
