Believe John Rafferty has left Rostrevor, anymore managerial changes so far?

[Dubh driocht]

Jeez it's a brutal night - one you wouldn't put a dog out in.
Hope the lads are enjoying NYC as they're well away from this weather and all the gloomy news.
I also hope that the craic is 90, they bond well ( but miss the Burren lads) and  come back with fire in their bellies to make a massive effort next year.

[thegael]

Well i hope they do as next year they will not be underestimated and most certainly will not have the set of circumstances that led to the easiest path to an all-ireland final there has ever been.
So let's hope all realise the task in front of us , whether that be the communication channels for substitutes , not having a plan to take off a starting player no matter what but letting the game itself dictate substitutions, also the ability to change kickouts from the route one option when we are having an off day in the middle sector and thinking about the short kick out!
A lot to learn for the manager with L plates on but hopefully he'll learn more from mc ilvor and tally as the year goes on. A class in tactics etc whilst away may be of great benefit to our team.
The players most certainly deserve the chance to unwind , bond and look back on wonderful memories and hopefully have the hunger to get right back there . If the players are willing to put the time in on the field we really should be expecting management to get tutoring in tactics and the high tempo match day scenarios where the mistakes of 2010 never happen again. Looking back Benny's decision against Donegal (not managements) to go further out the field was the catalyst v Donegal so if the players have work to do off season the management really need an intense course in tactics !!
The players really deserve a great break and we salute them!

That post of The Gaels has just been nominated as the silliest post of the year

[BRIDGE LAD]

Gael ya tool! You call getting Kerry and kildare an easy path! Also Sligo destroyed Mayo and Galway. So think before you write.

[Leonardo]

Perhaps the gael could give lessons in tactics?

Ok everyone entitled to your opinion on a message board no matter how silly or narrow minded it is but lets clear one burning issue of this up.... Paddy Tally is a team trainer end of story!! What would James learn tactically off this man?? Have you seen St Marys playing?? OK mc ivor is a shrewd boy with a lot of experience and he along with Johnston may add something tactically but Tally is the team trainer.. End of story.. Unfortunately Mr Tally sometimes doesnt realise this though!!

As for the L Plate comment Gael.. Maybe your still a learner eh??

You, my friend, are a clown.

Best of luck to Burren tomorrow. They are a good all-round team and the only area where they're short is in craft ;Cross have it in spades. The referee will need to be strong but they are good enough towin. Eoin Mc Cartan may have to play through the pain barrier to to get them over the line .
The Division 3 play-off will be interesting. Both Bosco and Bredagh have had good under-age teams in recent years but the potential has not yet been fulfilled at senior level. Bosco were favourites for the JFC final but didn't really turn up - Bredagh started the season like a rocket but lost several games to late scores.One point that has already been referred to is the extra-time between Saul and Bosco. If the play-offs are on a league basis, as I understood they were, that should have been one point each- however the referee played extra time and Saul went down. If it is a draw after 60 minutes tomorrow, Bredagh could claim they have 3 out of 4 points and therefore stay up as Bosco would have 2- however, as ET was played it is death or glory tomorrow and a draw will mean extra-time or a replay.

It was always going to be extra time, as far as I am aware all the teams involved in the play offs were informed of extra time in the event of a draw, well we were anyway. Lets hope we are still in div 3 when the ref blows the final whistle tomorrow afternoon

thegael, you used to be cool man.
I dont think you'll ever be happy will you?
