El Presidente has his sights on higher offices than Jones Road, that's well know - particularly in Ulster. So its no surprise to me he will be where the camera is all the time. Personally I felt his AI speeches were in poor taste, its not your role to give us your take on what's going on in Ireland -basically today's not about you mate its about the young lad next to you that just lead his team to glory. Have the decency to step aside and let them enjoy their moment. Imo being from Ulster he has that sense of entitlement they have where they can say anything they like and if anyone says anything otherwise they're labelled as "anti Ulster".

One of the clickbait sites had a picture of Jarlath Burns addressing both teams in the middle of field after the game last night. Is it just me or is he beginning to get a bit much by inserting himself in the middle of things when really necessary? His speeches at all Ireland finals while great and all had a little bit too much grandstanding for my liking - hand over the trophy and be done with it. I sat this as someone who admired him and understand that he has done a lot more f great community work outside of the GAA particularly through his school. In his 1st year as president... I'd give him a pass... hopefully he will have calmed down by July next year

Pat Spillane claims on Sunday World that a dickie bird told him Kerry met with a Dublin forwards coach before getting Cian O Neill but it came to nothing. No disrespect to Dublin but if we cant find forward coaches in Kerry then we are doomed. I can understand getting outside defensive coaches ,outside fitness cosches dieticians etc but if Kerry have to go outside the county for a forwards coach then its very sad and means we ve lost our confidence and aura.

This again showing the CBs short term thinking and just trying to buy their way out of things. You would really have to wonder where are Kerry going in the long run.

I didn’t realize that Devon Burns had transferred to Kilmacud Crokes. Was on the losing side against Cuala in the county final yesterday. It seems that he and Con O’Callaghan “clashed” resulting in Con getting a red card. I didn’t see the game. Anybody know anything about it?

Didn't see the game but was talking to someone who watched it. Said Burns had a good game - made a couple of saves to keep Crokes in it. No surprise really - always thought he was serious operator since his underage days. Reason he transferred was that he's a Guard and hes based in Dublin for the moment. Saw elsewhere that Con's red was for supposedly for striking.

Is there any limit to what the CB will do to hide the failings of an inept manager. I would always prefer a manager who has been in the white heat of battle in Croke Park on AIF day to some one who hasn’t been but can spout all the lingo from the basketball halls of Chicago that has no relevance to Gaelic football.

I don't know if this is a dig at jack or not. As for the basketball coaches like Ingle that were involved with with Jim Gavin I don't think having a background in another sport procludes someone for adding value if its applicable. Mark Ingle though primarily a basketball man has coached Raheny in the Dublin SFC. Sean Boylan was a hurling man before he got the meath gig. 'Cross polinisation' of sports is common nowdays. I agree with your point of why are we going outside looking for coaches? Fair enoughh for specific roles like S&C. At the moment we have 2 slectors from the county in Costello and Aodhan. But the actual coaches are from outside the county. What will our 2 lads do as selectors? What will there role be? Are they going to help pick the team or is it Jack that does that regardless. Whos opinion is more valid, a coach or selector. This isnt a dig at our 2 coaches but more a general query. Looking at the managment team the role of selector looks to be primarily window dressing. Have a couple of locals to keep the natives happy.

I dont know but there is no manuscript on forward coaching.Jason Sherlock became a coaching forward with Dublin to great success.Are you telling me he knows more tham Maurice Fitz or Gooch.FFS id back myself as a forwards coach seriously.We Do NOT need to go outside county for a forwards coach in football.

Can anyone point out ANYTHING that has been introduced to Gaelic football since 2000 that would have made the 1978/1979 Kerry team a better team or on the other hand would have enabled the opposition to beat Kerry. That team IMO was the peak of the O'Dwyer era when 17 or 18 players won 2 AI's, on the way to 4 in a row, setting Croke Park alight on both occasions.

Strange news Mickey Graham stepping down as Leitrim manager just two months after being appointment. Rumour is that Mickey Graham is joining the Galway management team as coach.

Not forgetting Jack who had told some in Kildare he was staying on but then got Kerry job.Kildare were sour over it.Also P.Joyce was under the impression that Cian O Neill was staying on in Galway before he left for us.

You'd wonder if there's merit in managers having to sign contracts etc There's nothing to stop someone from jumping ship to another county and nothing will actually happen the manager.

Unfortunately, this is the same at club level, where Gaa mercenaries do the circuit for financial motives. The loyalty aspect is no longer relative.
Dara Ó'Cinnéide when he took over the chairman role with An Gaeltacht, he was advocating that no paid coach or role would exist within the club, he was promoting he volunteer and will of the parish to succeed through locals pride and duty to give back... it is a pity more like Dara don't exist within the organisation.
Whether people want to admit it or not, the truth is most of the club lotto intake is filtered to off the books coach payment....

You look ar some clubs who haven't had a "local" manager for years because of paying outside lads and any local isn't going to do it for nothing. Whatever about the top tier there are Junior clubs paying huge money to managers and getting nothing from it.

Not forgetting Mark Fitzgerald leaving Clare after committing for two years. My word is my bond does not appear to have any value in the GAA. Mickey Graham the latest to join the merry band.

Unfortunately the horse has bolted and when money is on the table there will be no loyalty.
I have always been amazed that revenue have not looked into this.
The responsibility ofcourse is on those receiving the money that it is correctly declared.

I would be optimistic about Keane if I was a Clare man, he built that team that won our All Ireland in 2022. Good chance we'll be meeting him in a Munster Final in 2025. A good role for Keane and good appointment for Clare also. Best of luck to him

The last part is absolutely not true, the first part is also highly questionable. Saying he is an excellent man manager is contrary to the opinion espoused by multiple players that worked under him with Kerry
