Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[OurKid 2.0]

Wouldn't keystone be an hour away from where he's from?

Think Micky Hartes giving him a lift to work

[Jimbop]

Farcical that Harte is in the picture with him on Keystone's website. £60k p.a. McShane wouldnt be worth £600 a year. Lad's thick as champ

[BIGONE]

Yes, £60k for a trainee? Some deal! So, if Matty or Our Peter come to Mickey and say I'm going to live in the states will Mickey provide the same? Dangerous precedent to be setting? No?

Mickey is trying to win an All Ireland before he retires.. This fact has just worked extremely well in McShanes case because Mickey knows Tyrone are quite far away from winning it and needs every weapon possible

Isn't it just. Think Mickey's just jumped the shark, beginning of the end stuff. Not just content to possibly f*k off the rest of the players in the Tyrone camp, but will the Keystone Technical Specifications team all be getting a wage review in line with the market rate for an entry/associate level sales rep joining their team?

Was widely known that Colm Cavanagh with family and work commitments had hung up the boots after last season, only to be coaxed back in, with a few more mouths to feed was he also given a "package" to entice him to stay on? Maybe a newborn nutritional allowance on top of the GPA allowance?

The boys on here complaining about McShane getting this job and using it to criticise Harte, would be the same boys that would have been on here complaining about Harte not doing enough to keep him if he'd left. It's great to see a local successful firm helping the people who provide a lot of joy to the county. Fair play to them.

Not really, nobody in the AFL was offering them 40k a year to go and play in Oz.

Losing McShane would have been used as a stick to beat Harte with. Now him staying, will have to do instead.

Doesn't Donnelly work for PWC? Doubt he's getting paid pittance for that.

[BIGONE]

Trainee Accountant? Is he fully qualified? Probably on about half of McShanes reported Salary (which I find hard o believe)

Not everyone in PWC is on a big salary lol

Not sure how true it is but heard that media in Australia reckon McShane wouldn't have cut it in AFL and that Brisbane might be glad he didn't sign their contract before he went out for the "trial"

[BennyHarp]

I suspected that it wouldn't take long until the usual suspects appear with their pitch forks. I thought it might take a bad performance by Cathal before everyone jumped on him but they've exceeded even my expectations with the haste of their begrudgery.

That would have been no shame not to make it in the AFL, especially as a key forward. McShane is a big enough lad in GAA terms, height wise he's something similar to an AFL key forward but he's nowhere near the athlete of Lance Franklin or the top guys in that position in AFL footy. It would have been a massive gamble for any of those clubs on him.

Its a s**t sport anyway glad he is staying
