Didn't intend on opening a can of worms re Bernard Dunne. Was just responding to the other post.
Some say he's a high performance advisor, some say he's a psychologist? Which is it?
Its very vague, but also while I get its independently funded would it not be concerning that he was surplus to requirements in Dublin GAA given their (no disrespect) superior financial backing?
I get the independent funding element and of course, why would they say no. But would it not be better spent on say a top coach or two to oversee a development squad? Like Anthony Daly did in Limerick?

Dunne was with the Dublin Footballers from 2013 to around 2018 I think. They won the 1st of their 6 in a row in 2013. He was with the Galway Footballers from 2022 to 2024 as far as I remember, those 2 years being the only 2 years that Galway reached AI finals since 2001.
That could all be coincidence of course Exiled, maybe Dublin and Galway wouldve had that success without him. I suppose we might see if he has a positive effect on our lads over the next year or 2, although just as his role is vague, and was with Dublin and Galway also, I suppose quantifying the results of him being around the lads will be hard too.

My belief in GAA is you hold what you have if the person is up to it. It might be that they had success and didn't think it was down to him. Don't know.

You can't hold onto someone when they decide to move on. Kidnapping is illegal in this country!
Bernard Dunne left his Dublin GAA job to take on the role of Performance Director of the IABA.

Sorry a small correction to this, he was only in Galway for the 2022 season. But it was still their 1st appearance in an AI final for over 20 years.

We only trained once a week for most of the time the lads were together. But at the same time we were well in the game last night, only 2 down with a few minutes left. Let in 2 poor goals then.

Toughest game might turn out to be the 1st one. The lads went well in challenge games, but they are only challenge games. We may wait and see.

In-keeping with recent minor and u-20 reults last few years.
