A lot of recent experience, coached some of the best players of the past few seasons. Knows Leinster thru his time east of the Boyne Bridge.


He is going in with the cork hurlers

O'Neill is a supplementary coach, he's not best suited to being the main manager of a county team.

O'Neill lives in Cork. Packed in Galway football coaching role because of travel and Kerry offer. He prob has young family. Couldn't see him increasing his time commitments anywhere outside Munster as a manager. He'll have much better offers than Offaly footballers too - and more likely to go into a coaching role.

Any more news on Micky Graham story?

We could do with
Billy Graham 😂😂
He is dead a few years but a great motivational speech at half time
Also against the drink
Maybe Brian Carroll can arrange it 😂😂

Yea, apparently there was bit of fall out with some band members and mental health took a bit of a hit, but I'm led to believe he has turned the corner and is on the right path again. He was back on stage for recent reunion concert im reliably informed, so he could be an option for manager.....

Not sure Shane Lynch would be too enamoured if left out, though could be earmarked for kitman or logistics role. Most important is that they get players and supporters working together no matter what, so that when the going gets tough, they are all going in one direction.

Can confirm Duffy was spotted in the Marquee in J.J Killeen's recently.

Rumour is it was for talks but he broke out into song and cleared the tent faster than a fire alarm.
