Paul Galvin New Wexford Manager

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


He obviously wants to build his CV. He's not going to Wexford to win titles. I was wrong about Davy Fitz, absolutely love the guy now, so I won't write off Galvin.

Oh my god that's so funny. Did you come up with it all by yourself?

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. I'd say you came up with that devastating riposte yourself.

I think he'll no doubt get them promoted to Div 3. Possibly up to 2 the year after. But unfortunately that's it because they won't be winning leinster. Should add a nice bit of flair to the side line. Maybe even Rick flair knowing Galvins fashion sense.

That's a good one now in fairness. I see what you're at there alright.

It will be a tough job for him. I think there should be potential to get back up to div 3. The footballers have looked seriously under motivated and poorly organised over the last few years. We won a Leinster u21 at football not that long ago and football remains a very popular sport at many clubs. We dont have many hurling only clubs or football only clubs in the county. Nearly all are dual clubs. Over the last few years a good few of the better dual players are playing hurling though. There are probably 6 certain starters on the football team playing for the hurling team maybe more.

Infairness your other attempt did tank so it was worth trying again...

Galvin Klein, saw this on social media. Well at least Wexford will be well dressed.

Paul Galvin has found it hard to settle into a role within GAA since his halcyon days.
There was a stint with one of the colleges here. Then there was the few hurling games he played with Kilmacud Crokes, the there was a stint playing football with Plunketts Now he's managing Wexford. He was a great player but I'm not sure he'll see out his term with Wexford. A job like that involves compromises and placating egos etc. Not sure he'd be able for that nonsense.

Could be like Davey and the hurling. A bit of madness might go a long way in the sunny south east. Strikes me as a guy who is a good talker in a dressing room.. might be half the battle

I don't think lads who finished bottom of division 4 and didn't win a championship game can have any ego to be fair!

Replying To Hitnhurl:  "I'm a firm believer that there is enough talent in "any county " to produce a local manager there are men and women going out in their own time training clubs from a young age all way up to senior and intercounty week in week out and to go outside and get some one from outside is a slap in the face for any aspiring manager who's potential is waiting to be discovered......fair enough get as many specialist advisers coaches is as you like but call me old fashioned but I believe in a full home grown intercounty setup is what gaa is all about community our community against yours and giving people chances........yes I know there are lots of success stories of travelling managers but is that what the gaa ethos is about??"
I only heard a fella talking about the same thing recently. But I wouldn't agree, look at Wexford as a predominantly Hurling County, it would take someone like Galvin to raise the profile of the county team. I couldn't see anybody from within the county with the ability to do similar. It takes people with high profile to spark interest in people and hopefully it would have a rising tide effect.
Like when Micko took over Kildare, it was the best thing that ever happened.

Great appointment and boost to wExford football

Ridiculous appointment IMO. A county with a struggling footballing team should be aiming to get in a decent experienced coach/manager. Appointing a fella who to my knowledge has barely any experience apart from training subs on clubs teams to embarress themselves against Dublin D team.
