Slow day in work! Just seen that Brian Cody has lost 4 All Irelands as manager.
He has won 11 Ireland and lost four finals
Has anyone lost more than four finals? (This isn't a dig by the way...just curious)
Also, who's top of the leaderboard in management terms in football for wins and the top manager for losses?
Likewise players in both codes....

No they lost in 2016, 2010, 2004 & 1999 under Cody.
2013, 2005 ,2001 they failed to get to the final. Cork knocked them out in 2013 and I'm pretty sure Galway in the two other years. It's some achievement for a county and particularly one manager. Throughout the mid 90's they went seven years without reaching a final to only miss out in 3 in 19 seasons. Include replays and they've been involved in 18 finals in 19 seasons by my calculations.
Life isn't fair really is it!!
