Accountability
Posted: Sun Mar 30, 2014 6:57 pm
10 games played in senior leagues this year. 5 football and 5 in hurling.....Not 1 win.... so who is to blame?
I for one dont blame Emmet McDonnell or Brian Whelehan for this. They are doing their level best with the resources they are given. Both went for their respective minor team jobs and were offered the senior job. Both struggle to get the proper resources in terms of coaching and sport science support in comparison with the other counties. Both are very inexperienced (especially Whelahan) for this level l.....
The footballers today looked fit compared to previous weeks but looked like they werent coached too well... Is this the managers fault? Not entirely. All other counties have an experienced coaching support team at their disposal.... Offaly have the bare bones and all involved are grossly inexperienced.....This is the county boards fault for not supplying the requisite support as they are trying to save a few quid.... maybe if they put in the resources they would get it back in revenue from attendance, there was barely 200 in Tullamore today.....
Brian Carroll said as much publicly when he asked why Offaly always have to have a first timer as Manager at senior level....
The hurlers are coached by an excellent physical trainer who has very little hurling experience. Meanwhile Laois have an equivalent of our physical trainer and backed it up with hurling coaches to coach the team..... Imagine that, having a hurling coach coaching hurling, sure that might make a small little bit of sense.....
Today I watched our county board gurus sit in the stand in their yellow (badge of honour) bibs in front of the vip section watch the football.
THESE GOBSH***S are F****** CLUELESS AND NEED TO BE TURFED OUT. THESES DINOSAURS ARE THE REASON WE ARE LOSING GAMES AS THEY FAIL ON A CONSISTENT BASIS TO IMPLEMENT PROPER STRUCTURES. FACT. Meanwhile, our chairman was distancing himself from this group and cowered away in the corner of the stand away from everybody else to watch the game.....
Ive heard lads from other counties sneer offaly for being so far behind the times and that famous man with the cheque book is one of the main reasons for this. Ive heard that the hurlers have yet to receive playing gear for 2014 but it being 2nd hand information, i am not sure if this is correct....
All in all, these losses are not happening by chance and at this stage, heads should roll.... The board should be petitioned by the clubs to step aside and a new progressive thinking educated in the methods and requirements of the modern games should be put in place....
