I would remind one of the old adage 'never count your chickens before the eggs are hatched'. I think this Limerick team have done very well, but no serious follower is looking past their next championship game or should they.

Limerick nor no team will ever do 10-in-a-row. I referenced it to highlight that fact, and the hysteria we had from certain quarters that the Dubs were never going to be beaten. Well, the Dubs were beaten, and so will Limerick at some stage. My mention of 10-in-a-row, was a very tongue-in-cheek remark!

Yes Maher has a far better coaching CV but maybe the Tipp board want a household name after missing out on Cahill, I wouldn't agree with that outlook myself.

Bennettbridges fantastic win yesterday may have sealed job for Maher. I'm surprised Cummins is mentioned. Rumour has it that he will be the new U20 manager but I did also hear its a two horse race between them. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 06/09/2021 12:18:49 2378183 Link 1 |

You couldve played an extra forward if you wanted to do without a sweeper.

Would Darren Gleeson be considered for the Tipp job?

Far too inexperienced in my opinion

Listening to Damian lawlor on radio 2,he mentioned 5 or 6 names who are tied up with other counties..he says it's now between Maher and Cummins..very surprised that Cummins is in the running,I don't think he has been with any tipp set up even at under age..Is it a case of bringing in a big name because all other probabilities are tied up..Maher to me would be a better choice with a lot more experience,this coming from a limerick man may seem strange..

You really aren't coming out good in this exchange. As has been stated here a few times already, when the opposition plays with 5 forwards and 7 defenders and the other team lines out in their regular positions with 6 defenders and 6 forwards, the team playing with the regular 6 defenders/ 6 forwards is NOT playing with a sweeper. If you don't understand that simple point I don't know what else can bé said. PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 1903 - 07/09/2021 00:28:24 2378408 Link 2 |

I don't think so.

According to John Fogarty in the examiner Maher now front runner but this time last week the talk in Wexford was JJ Doyle so you never know for certain.

Obviously you watched the games that year the same as I did. Probably rewatched them too! You didnt go man on man or 15 on 15 or whatever the fashionable phrase is for the old way of playing these days. He played an identical role for Galway that Foley did for Wexford under Davy. And de Burca did for Waterford under Mcgrath. If you dont want to call him a sweeper then that is up to yourself. Whatever makes you happy lad!

Surely more experienced than his namesake Brendan?

There seems to be a deficit of experienced in house managers in Tipp for this job,Cahill not taking the job has caused quite a problem for Tipp it seems.Gleeson might be the man at the end of the day,he did well with Antrim and you could see the change in the way they played especially in the League.

This sweeping thing got too over rated and pigeon holed. Cody brought back his half forwards to clean up behind his half backs. Was that sweeping ? I guess it was really but like you said call it what you like. They may have been man on man until the call to defend came into play.

Your correct about the sweeper. However 2/3 of Galway is not football in terms of playing numbers. Maybe the land mass but Connemara which is largely football has low population and playing numbers. The last recorded playing pool in Galway was 43 designated football clubs (a small number play hurling) and 37 designated hurling clubs (a very small number play football). The City is very hit and miss with 3 senior football clubs (one play junior hurling still i think) and 2 senior hurling clubs plus 1 intermediate hurling club. Bottom line is the numbers registered at adult level for both football and hurling in Galway are very close. In fact Galway have less adults playing football than predominantly football counties like Mayo, Kerry and Donegal from previous figures i saw a few years ago. Some of the key county towns (Athenry and Loughrea for example) are predominantly hurling with the other large towns Tuam (football) and Ballinasloe (pretty split). It would be interesting to see how many adults playing competitive hurling in Galway compare to hurling only counties (i.e. Kilkenny). Wexford have a big number of dual clubs which is credit to them in keeping that operation going.

Latest word from Tipp is that the job will go to either William Maher or Colm Bonnar.
