I have and just don't get the problem people have. He takes no sh1t from anyone players or mentors which is always uncomfortable for people who think that refs should wait to be told what decision to make.

The ref was petulant? Not the mouth breather in the crowd? The fact that people around the mouth breather didn't shut him up. But the ref was petulant. Grand.

The ref was well known at the time for his petulant behaviour and improved over time in fairness to him.

On the specific point about the dope in the crowd - absolutely he shouldn't have been getting in the referee's ear. However, no referee should be listening to the crowd - very much in the same way the player shouldn't. They shouldn't be influenced by them at all. Imagine David Gough getting upset by the crowd at a big game!

Is the county board meeting next week?

There’s a meeting being called for next week to ratify peter Queally as manager. Dan, Darragh Duggan, Shane Briggs and Denis Walsh will form the nucleus of the backroom team. Not very appealing but we reap what we sow. Looking at the last 2 under 20/21 teams and I think there’s not a lot to come off it. Michael Kiely abbeyside only player from last years minor team and not too sure what could come from this years minor team as Darragh Duggan’s tactics, and behavior, destroyed what potential could’ve been a good minor team. Kieran power and jack Fagan are the only 2 to really standout for me so far in the club games. There isn’t a lot there for people who think we should have a full cleanout. I think peter might be better served by addressing the problems that are there between players, board, etc whatever it is. At this I’d be happy just to win 1 championship game next year and have all the issues resolved

I am "volunteering" for it currently and I have dished the stick to his face many a time and his father. The difference is I have played both games to a decent level and know the rules of the each.He hasn't and doesn't..

His fitness is an absolute joke to.

Waterford GAA is in the state its in because of to many soft people wont say it as it is for fear of hurting the gravy train or god for bid a adults feelings when he/she is clearly s**t at what they are doing.

Certainly dont think hes the Worst for it. Had a Good game recently in the abbeyside dungarvan game. Regarding the criticism referees get I think alot of them get criticised based on the bad ones and to few of them get praise when they have a good game

Bit of a let down but be nice to have Dan's passion back on the sideline

Shane Briggs the former footballer what is his role ??

Is that Denis Walsh who was Cork manager a few years ago

Shane Briggs is a PE teacher in Kilmac and would have worked with Queally with Abbeyside/Ballinacourty doing some of the coaching, must have made an impression on Queally during his time with them.

How can they be a let down before they've even started?

so many possible names outside of the county

So did the Commitee go outside the county or did they just go with what the clubs suggested ??

As far as I’m aware it was only with who was nominated by the clubs

Not very inspiring. More years of playing negatively with a lack of forwards up
front.
More of the sweeper.

Sean power should have been given the job.

Probably wouldn’t have been the worst thing to have happened at this stage. Also our sweeper, Tadhg, will more then likely miss next year. It takes a year or 2 to get a fella playing sweeper the way a manger wants them to. So who goes sweeper then? Darragh Duggan’s preferred system is with 2 sweepers( try not to loose the game rather then trying to win it system), that means far less forwards. Jesus the more I think about it the bleaker the future looks for us. The lads over the primary schools are fighting with the lads on the coaching and games( 2 fellas in particular) over the best way forward for schools. We are in a mess at underage and are really lacking leaders

experience with winning teams as manager or part of the management team

People that will get the best out of the players and know what there doing

Players should be consulted

And should that be at a particular level? Would intercounty experience be a bonus?

Should the players have a veto or should they be allowed to nominate a candidate?

Should their location be a factor - both in terms of practicality and cost?

Do we need our manager to be a multitasker and manage as well as coach, or do we need someone who can manage a group of coaches and lead the general direction the team like a Managing Director type role?

Does Waterford GAA have a brand or style of play they want their teams to employ - and should a potential manager share these philosophies?

This requires a bit more thought than assuming that a 'name' from another county must be good, and potentially better than what's available locally.

He fires abuse at them.

Jaysus, If this is true I don’t know why they’re suddenly going back to Queally now after deeming him down the pecking order the last few appointments, not like he’s been winning all around him at club level since. also how many on the appointment committee or what was the process? Was Dan himself not on it? It looks like they just went through all the numbers in their phones and see who was available or not and then throw Dan in for good measure

Anyone in Fraher Field tonight witnessed a calamity of a refereeing performance, ironic that lads were on about refs this week on this

Probably be wise not to ridicule the selection process, if you don't even know who the committee comprised

Can anyone see queally and his backroom team getting the lads back on track and being competitive and challenging for titles again....!
