Down Club Hurling & Football

[Silver hill]

Thought it was someone who was still managing a Club team...that's why it couldn't be announced?

I'm a Down man living in Tyrone. Hearing tonight from a very reliable source that Peter Canavan is the new Down senior manager

A big name but what has he accomplished as a manager. Has he managed club or anyone else bar his time in Fermanagh. ?

Canavan is probably the best footballer I have seen, exceptional. Almost won an all-ireland single handedly in 1995.

His managerial record to date is underwhelming, id imagine his expenses are on the high side, overall id be slightly despondant about his appointment.

Some lads like Davy Fitz can come in and give a struggling county a lift, to me Canavan is Tyrone through and through, im not sure he would have the same passion and relentless drive, that he would have if involved with Tyrone or Errigal Ciaran.

Surely this Canavan story is fake news??? Let's be 100% honest - what would attract a man like god to our county - we will struggle in division 2 and won't win ulster nor the all Ireland in the next decade.. anyone getting a pot of money could come in and take it - but anyone genuine who thinks they will better their cv - they won't be taking our county....

Conleth Gilligan going to be new Down boss apparently

Would be a great appointment imo.... Said this from the outset. Only potential issue is if he goes with Kilcoo's blessing or not.

[the goal was on]

Gilligan not even manager of a club team but is good enough for down management post?? Big difference

[ardtole]

What would happen if Kilcoo qualified for the ulster club?

For clubs to train from early new year with the aim to win a county championship, to then be presented with Brian Higgins as referee along with his six officials in a semi final at Newry this afternoon is a disgrace.  This was a diabolical decision by the county board or who ever is responsible for appointing him! 

No disrespect to Brian but he was completely out of his depth this afternoon!

Sad day for Down GAA when one team goes out to play football and the other team just want to perform thuggery and are accommodated by the referee and his officials. Did race, and I'm not even from Down.

For a man who's "not even from Down" you have posted the majority of your posts regarding Down football

Why would you assume I'm a man? Are females not allowed on this site?
