When "academy" players are coached so negatively and not encouraged to go and play, does he really think these guys will want to play football with the senior county team in the future if this is a taste of the "system" they are going to have to fall into? Young lads want to play ball - not every man, woman and child behind the ball. Bugger that. They don't call us Tyrone. How do the players feel that the manager knew his team was 10 points worse that 4 other counties before he took the job? How exactly would he know this? Lads can develop from one year to the next. Very negative from the start me thinks which was displayed on Saturday night in abundance.
The real problem is that McKeever thinks that a 4 point defeat is a success. I'd rather get tanked and score more than four points in a game. It would be the same result - a loss. Has enjoyment gone out of our brilliant game altogether? I won't be gracing the AG to watch them this Saturday night that's for sure. I'll watch the darts or snooker instead for a bit of entertainment.
Fully agree. Such negative football is been coached from minor level u to senior and is simply not good enough. Seems like there is no ambition within the county. Appointing coaches from senior level down who have no success as managers. Even our own county chairman Mr Savage suggesting a number of weeks back that he want Kieran to stay on as senior manager as he is doing a great job despite having not won a game in ulster in 5 years. No ambition and it is coming directly from the county board.
We have one of the best young managers in Ireland in our county who is up managing Crossmaglen under 14s. No ambition.
I also will not be at the AG on Sat nor in Newry on the 19th May to watch such puke football.
