I get what you’re saying but think thats harsh. We have to remember that the likes of Galway and Derry have had huge success at underage county, schools, college and provincial club level while we’ve barely won a game in provincial club in years at any level bar Cross a few years ago now. St Ronans won a hogan and St Pauls had a few decent MacRory teams a few years back and we’re decently represented from both but its been bare apart from that. The less said about our minor/u20/21 record the better.
There’s clearly issues in the county with regards to all these competitions which run deeper than the current management set up. What these are or how we can fix them I wish I knew. I agree what we have isn’t perfect, but to Geezers credit he has got good people round him and seems to have full buy in from the players- all the best players in the county are involved bar maybe one or two for whatever reason.
You’re right those lads and others have given us years plugging away in the lower leagues and deserve at least an Ulster title for their service.
Indeed credit to McGeeney. Not saying he should be replaced but there is something that feels limiting with this team and the only conclusion I can come to is management. That being said, he deserves another year in the hot seat. If he were to leave the team could quite easily fall apart just like Kildare did. Furthermore, he had fixed issues relating to defence or at least showed improvement which we were all crying out for. If we improve defensively we would be some team.
