Brian Lawlor has stepped down as hurling manager. A Christy Ring title and a Division 2B title is a good return from his two years in charge.

Dr Crippen · 26-08-2015 5:48pm

Any ideas why Klairon? I hate to speculate negativley but.......... it could be anything

Nib · 27-08-2015 9:00pm

Jason Ryan has resigned.

Such a pity it didn't work out for him, he's a decent man. Best of luck to him.

klairondavis · 27-08-2015 9:15pm

The county board are going to be busy with the two senior posts to fill.

Dr Crippen · 27-08-2015 9:18pm

Just printing my cv now

roy rodgers · 27-08-2015 9:24pm

I heard at the football match on Sunday that cian o Neill would be interested in the job providing he can bring in his own people and the county board at not to interfere.
Could be all terrace talk!

Dr Crippen · 27-08-2015 9:48pm

I would be worried about who the county board might have in mind.

Who would you guys like to see in the senior football managerial role and why?

Nib · 27-08-2015 9:51pm

I'd like to see Glenn Ryan take over. The players would have huge respect for him unlike Ryan who was seen as a traitor to some players.

Our financial situation will limit our options, the likes of Cian O'Neill are a no go.

klairondavis · 27-08-2015 9:55pm

I can't see a Ger Donnelly led board appointing Glenn Ryan as senior football manager.

Dr Crippen · 27-08-2015 10:01pm

Explain klairon, I haven't a clue

Good win for Milltown who were 0-7 to 0-3 down with 20 minutes to go.

Would they? I wouldn't even consider him.

klairondavis · 29-08-2015 5:19pm

Kilcullen are one seriously underachieving club.

Last minute goal for Shane O'Rourke wins it for Kilcock.

Athy look like they're on the road to nowhere under Kellaghan. Way too defensive and ill disciplined.

paulie21 · 29-08-2015 7:58pm

Very impressed with Laurence's over the two games. If Athy focused on their own game and stopped worrying about been too good for a division 2 team they'd be better off

klairondavis · 29-08-2015 8:05pm

Celbridge and Moorefield look a bit ahead of the pack at this stage.

Athy just don't look like they will ever realise their potential. Sarsfields will be hoping to summon up a big performance but they won't put out Moorefield if Alan Smith isn't fit and firing. Larries, Naas and JTB will be thereabouts but it's hard to see any of them going all the way. I would be very surprised if any of Leixlip, Carbury, Allenwood, Eadestown or Confey make it past the quarter finals.

Xenophile · 30-08-2015 3:59am

Are the Minors a foregone conclusion today or what ? From what I can see here some posters have taken their eye of the ball as far as the minors are concerned.

And how did you come to that conclusion?

It's far from a foregone conclusion.

Not at all. This minor team have come a long way in a short space of time and surprised most supporters. They got the team selection wrong the first day against Louth and were hit with a few sucker punches when they were in control of the game. They showed good character in scraping past Offaly and Laois but no one really gave them much hope against Dublin after the narrow margin of those two wins. Truth be told the three point winning margin in that semi final flattered Dublin. Kildare just seemed to click that day and they haven't looked back since.

They have the full forward line to rack up a big score with a good supply of ball but they can leave the backline exposed. That would be a big concern if some of the forwards were to have an off day which is always a possibility with minors. They should have been home and hosed against Cavan and not hanging on towards the end. Hopefully that will focus minds going into this game.

Nib · 30-08-2015 1:40pm

They've switched Kelly and O'Donoghue for some reason. The latter not getting much change from the Tipp full back.

Very nervous start from both teams.

Dirty Dingus McGee · 30-08-2015 1:53pm

Is that Tadgh Fennin on the sideline for Kildare?

Nib · 30-08-2015 1:58pm

Yes. The Dubs will have nightmares when they see him.

Nib · 30-08-2015 2:03pm

Kildare very lucky to be going in at 0-6 apiece. Tipp blew two great goal scoring chances. Lots of wides early on but they seem to have settled down as the half wore on. Darren Lawler has been excellent at the back.

They need to switch Kelly with O'Donoghue.

klairondavis · 30-08-2015 2:04pm

All to play for in the second half.

We need better ball going into Hyland and Kelly. We might see some improvement now with O'Donoghue switched out the field where there will be more space. We look vulnerable to the high ball in defence. Tipp are after sending on a big man into the edge of the square.

Yep. He's a selector

Grueller · 30-08-2015 2:26pm

Kildare are blessed that Tipp can't finish the goal chances here.

klairondavis · 30-08-2015 2:48pm

Never played at all. Tipp value for a lot more than 2 points. So disappointing.

Nib · 30-08-2015 2:49pm

Desperately disappointing.

Our wild shooting coupled with our inability to even contest a high ball cost us dear.

paulie21 · 30-08-2015 2:50pm

Never seen a team give away the ball so much. Could of snook that game. Number 24 for Kildare shouldn't be involved with Kildare ever again if he is going to carry on like that after games

DellyBelly · 30-08-2015 2:53pm

That no 24 for kildare would want to learn how to lose with grace. Disgraceful scenes.

What did he do? Switched over straight after the final whistle.
