Would Banty being back be that bad for Monaghan football.
If he wasn't housing refugees someone else would, at least he would use it to back Monaghan football. Sometime he's portrayed as he's breaking the law, not his fault the government are firing money at him. I'm sure the players want him as they would be treated like professionals.
I don't think we should have him on the line but bring him in as a JP mc manus sort of figure. Money talks bigger and better managers get attracted therefore should drive Monaghan foward.

Replying To Drax_the_destroyer: "Eamon Fitzmaurice next Galway Manager.
A few bits from the Irish Examiner
"Two key factors may have changed his perspective - firstly, Fitzmaurice would only have returned with a county like Galway and a project capable of going all the way to Sam Maguire. Plus, at least Galway and Kerry are in different provinces. Nevertheless, a Galway-Kerry All-Ireland final is something the 49-year-old daren't even think about - for the time being at least"
"How Fitzmaurice will balance his school principal duties and the two and a half hour twice-weekly trips to Loughgeorge in Galway will be interesting. He has never lost the taste for the dressing room, and his razor sharp insights and tactical nous might be a massive coup for Galway, but the readers of his Irish Examiner columns and viewers of RTÉ's GAA match commentaries will be the poorer for his departure"" Great appointment but did anyone tell him about Galway traffic....

Replying To GAAFAN1234512345: "It has to be mark Couihan now. He has done an excellent job with Truagh and would get Monaghan playing some insane football. Hess got the truagh boys all believing they can win the championship even though lets be realistic, scostown will walk it with their eyes closed.
Couihan was with the flower boys in tyrone previously and all his hard work has paid off as they are in the final four of Tyrone championship.
Couihan would be able get archie beattie in for coach and shane rice for S/C. He could possibly take banty in for the backroom team which would give the team a financial boost." Thought the players laughed at counis name a few years ago why would he get in this time

Wexford Club Hurling 2026 - 1 Like(s)
Replying To camánouttathat: "I agree it's 50/50 with Rathnure and Martins. I wonder would the fact that St Martins are involved in the football have a bearing as they are out every week compared to Rathnure who have a weeks recovery. Only 6 teams have won both the senior hurling and senior football championships and St Anne's the only team to do the double. Would St Martins fancy their chances at the double also?
Didn't think Gorey were in great shape at start of the championship, and like another poster said don't have the killer instimct to put teams away. I think shels will have too much for them and have been going under the radar as most of the focus has been on Rathnure and St Martins
Im glad the draw worked out for Davidstown and Askamore on one side as I would love to see either side in the final. Davidstown are bit of a Cinderella story. Junior 4 years ago, clubhouse destroyed in storm 10 years ago and a lot of work put in with their grounds, small numbers compared to senior clubs and majority of intermediate clubs and now 60 minutes away from Intermediate final. Askamore have been there or there abouts but never kicked on and have a great chance now. St James have also been down this road before. I don't think they are as strong as previous years but they always fight to the end and will certainly put it up to Cloughbawn. Cloughbawn have been favorites for past 2 seasons and got caught on the hop with Fethard last year. If they don't get over the line this year I would worry for them. Nothing happening at underage joined with Ross at minor, 2nd team now in Junior B which is too big of a gap in standard of hurling for your 1st team subs. Could be Buffers Alley 2.0" Buffers Alley also have good young lads coming. Whether thats enough to get either club established at Senior in the coming years is another question though.
Neither club has the numbers most of the established Senior clubs have. Rathnure and Fethard the exceptions. Oylegate, Oulart and St Annes, while having more than Fethard and Rathnure, wouldn't have large numbers compared to Martins, Shels, Barntown, Harriers, Gorey or Ferns either.
