I would not be surprised if Fitzgerald gets it , they said everyone is back in the mix.In my opinion I don't think he is the right man for the job because of the circus that comes with it.I think we need the management to focus solely on the team.They would need someone in place by the weekend because the championship is nearly over so they have no time to assess any new players.

How is he the reason, is he not allowed to interview for a job and reject it if the terms are not to his liking? I've been in his position before, and I'm sure I'm not the only one here who has. If he 'doesn't want the job' he wouldn't have wasted his time going for the interview, I don't interview for jobs I've no interest in and I'm sure most people are the same. You might be an exception. If you want to buy the 'family commitments' line go for it, did his family commitments increase since his interview? Be news if they did. It's the great thing about amateurism, you're answerable to no one. It's fairly simple. He was asked to interview, did so, was offered the job, the terms were probably similar to last time when he stepped away, so he stepped away again when it became apparent this wasn5 likel6 to change. It makes total sense. He clearly wants the job but not at any cost and obviously the CB, rightly or wrongly, aren't budging. I don't know what the issues are but it's apparent that if they are purely financial (fundraising, costs etc) it's difficult to see Fitzgerald accepting the role if Donoghue has declined it.

I would agree with this, you could throw a blanket over up to 18 teams in the SHC at least atm. Relegation playoffs and Senior B hurling didn't do Kilnadeema/Leitrim any harm against the might of Turloughmore just yesterday. If you don't turn up you are vulnerable against the majority of sides.

St. Thomas' and Craughwell should win comfortably. Clairnbridge have serious momentum now and the 3 Weekends in a row will be their advantage as they have good players allover the field, Larkins are heavily dependent on J. Flynn for their scores. Cappy and Gort should be a good match katser (Galway) - Posts: 2554 - 18/10/2021 20:32:00 2386163 Link 0 |

Reference Kilnadeema-Leitrim......there is no doubt about it but Turlough pressed the self destruct button at half time by thinking the job was done when up 10pts!! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2554 - 19/10/2021 14:26:17 2386258 Link 0 |

Jesus, it fairly sticks the 2 fingers up to every Galway coach, a full team of Clare coaching staff in to coach the traditional county team of Galway, what a joke..

On the face of it you are correct, but i think if you look a bit deeper it makes more sense. I'm not a Davy fan, personally I'd have given it to Lynskey as I think when you ask a man to take minors and u21s for 5 or 6 years and he delivers huge success, and the same for Brian Hanley, and then you go external its a kick in the teeth. That said underage is not senior and Galway have found it impossible really to turn underage success into sustained senior success. Mulqueen will be the main coach of the team and he won galway SHC with Mellows which is a ridiculous achievement given who was on that team at the time. Michael Brown managed Gort in the galway SHC. Those two will know every player in galway, it isn't like we are jettisoning in Joe Kirwan from Armagh into to manage the Galway footballers. The age profile of the team is now roughly average age of 28. They were all nearly 24 when they won in 2017. That means realistically they have about 3 years left before the who squad will need to be overhauled. I don't think its mad therefore to bring Davy in who has a shelf life. We will probably be fantastic in 2022 (Probably won't match LK but who can) with 30 lads running through a wall for him. We will be alright in 2023 and then probably be a disaster in 2024 and he will go. I don't think thats necessarily a bad short term future. kazoochka (Galway) - Posts: 344 - 19/10/2021 15:53:14 2386286 Link 1 |

Is this guy real ...you get to senior status by winning ...and you can be relegated by losing. Cappy have been in the last four semi-finals of SHC - beaten by one point or one score in all four.. No room in your list of 'traditional type clubs' for Fohenagh - two county titles and other finals between 1958 and 62, Kiltormer ...weak now but former all Ireland Club champions, or Sarsfields - consecutive club all Irelands and recent county champions. enough of the sarcasm and yes, it will be a good day for hurling if the four clubs listed reach SHC qtr finals.

Turloughmore were only up 6 at half time ant that was with the wind! The burke sending off made a difference but he can have no complaints as it was a second yellow for a high challange ,a correct call but the ref. You never got the feeling that turlough were in control though. Remember they were relegated to senior b In 17 by loughrea that's not that long ago. Cappy have been probably the most consistent team in the last 4 years loosing a lot of semifinals by 1 point they are a fine team and would love to see them win. I not so sure any teams left in the competition will fear each other and why should they.
