County board said it wont be internal, Heimer Halgrimsson someone like him will probably get it any dentists around ?, Seriously were miles behind with everything getting a manager, facilities are terrible, no pitches for underage team, no u20 manager, no joint up thinking PowellJohn3 (Westmeath) - Posts: 62 - 03/10/2024 16:47:35 2572929 Link 3 |

I think the opposite if it was outside the county why not name them. the only reason to not name them is they havnet found them or the person they have is committed to a club and doesn't need the distraction. The club will be losing their manager next year and they dont need that media focus trying to win a title.

Lar is not with any team at present but it may be the case that a coach he's bringing in with him is still involved with a team. Perhaps his old clubmate from Laois, Ross Munnelly. Lar done all the training in Roscommon but left because of a dictatorial approach, that's what I'm hearing. There obviously aren't many people ready, willing and able to take it on as most will see Westmeath G.A.A. as a disaster zone. To have no centre of excellence or permanent place for teams to train going into year 2025 is a disgrace on the county board. Another year where county managers are left with no choice but to beg clubs for use of facilities beckons.

For what it's worth I would rather offer the job to an Alan mangan ,John Keane etc than to lar wall for the simply reason lar wall wanted the Meath job and didn't get it so it looks bad on us and him in my opinion if we go for him now … let's give it to a young hungry manager with a style and brand who's willing to take on the transition and let them get a plan in place so that in 3-5 years we will reap the reward with a brand and style to suit the young players and fresh faces that will be on board with us going forward …. It will be a tough year but I'm looking forward to the battle of staying in division 2 and progress further down the line in the coming years ….

Ross Munnelly was a selector and coach with Laois this year.

Just because Lar Wall went for the Meath gig we shouldn't give it to him. How narrow minded is that? He was nominated for the Meath job and is living there now years. He's exactly the young and hungry manager we're looking for. Or go back to basics with Buddha.

I put forward Munnelly's name as an example, a good friend of Lar's and is coaching Padraig Pearses. Mark McHugh might be a better example as he was rumored to be on Lar's ticket in Meath. McHugh is coaching Mhaigh Cuilinn in Galway. Would McHugh be the one with a lot of commitments. I know Lar is really interested in managing Westmeath which is great.

The margin of defeat for Tyrrellspass in last two semi finals - 14 and 12. That's no joke.

Thoughts on the County Final .. WmeathWarrior (Westmeath) - Posts: 65 - 09/10/2024 11:57:42 2573865 Link 0 |

Form would suggest Lomans should win by 5-6 points, they have had a relatively trouble free path to the final. The Downs have ended up in the final without playing well in most of their games. But, form goes out the window in a final. Lomans will be mad keen for revenge from 2022 but The Downs know they can beat Lomans & are probably the only team in Westmeath that won't fear them. Both teams have good sets of forwards, Lomans probably slightly better, I think The Downs have a stronger midfield & there's not much between both sets of backs. I would just about give Lomans the nod to win it but would not be surprised if The Downs take them. Hopefully it will be a good attacking game & not a full on defensive display.

I would say Lomans are most likely winners but the Downs at 4/1 to win in 60 minutes or 3/1 is far from representative of their chances .

Just a mention on the LGFA Finals. Well done to all in the Ladies Committee who are doing a fantastic job of promoting the game and empowering more and more women and girls every year to play competitive sport. Significant progress has been made in playing LGFA Club Finals in Páirc Uí Chíosóg and making them available to watch live on our streaming channel Iarmhí TV. It's unfortunate that there wasn't the same levels of knowledgeable and respectful Iarmhí TV commentary as is always provided for Football and Hurling during last Saturday's LGFA Club Finals. The two teams involved in the first game were consistently being put down by negative comments by a supposed journalist on co commentary. For example, "One of these are going to be Senior next year, whoever it is will revert straight back to Intermediate", "Neither are up to the standard of Senior", and, Michael Owen would love this one liner, "Neither side deserved to win, neither side deserved to lose". The refereeing was also slated and laughed at in the post match commentary, "[Name], used the word dubious about some of the refereeing decisions, that's probably being very, very polite because I think there's probably a lot of other ways we could describe it". Absolutely disgraceful comments to make about an official from a journalist, of all people. Sure, this was a less exciting game than the Senior Final that followed. It mightn't have lived up to the co commentator's expectations, but there's a duty from the two commentators to inform and describe what is actually happening on the pitch for 60 minutes or longer. Thankfully, the said journalist was cut off co commentary in time for the Senior Final. The analysis for the Senior Final instead focused on the skill and competence of the players and teams involved which should have been the case for the Intermediate Final. Westmeath Footballer Fiona Coyle was a breath of fresh air on co commentary for the second game. GetBehindTheFight (Westmeath) - Posts: 1 - 09/10/2024 13:23:48 2573882 Link 6 |

Not one to blame referees but this was really shockingly bad. Agree with you mostly though, we've a long way to go in ladies football in terms if equality but playing the finals in Cusack and streaming them is a good start.

What are everyone's predictions for Sundays final ? Such an exciting final we have two teams with star studded forwards,St Lomans will be keen on revenge and the downs tipping along nicely,hopefully the weather allows for a tit for tat battle and we get a final for the ages,will the Jim Gavin effect hold strong for the downs or will paddy dowdalls troops hold firm for back to back titles , I am going to go for a draw in this one TheGaaMan77 (Westmeath) - Posts: 70 - 09/10/2024 14:46:37 2573901 Link 0 |
