In the Bull last night talking about how great it was for Craig Lennon to get Louths only second all star and the subject came up of Louths best 15 players from the year 2000 up till now. Wee came up with this:
1. Neil Gallagher 2. Jamie Carr 3. Niall Sharkey 4. Donal Mc Kenny 5. Razor Finnegan 6. Jobser o Brien 7. Craig Lennon 8. Paddy Kennan (C) 9. Tommy Durnin 10. Andy Mc Donnell 11. Darren Clarke 12. Adrian Reid 13. Sam Mulroy 14. Shane Lennon 15. JP Rooney.
I think this team would be a match for any in the country if they were playing together. Ronan Carroll, Mick Fanning and Pops Rath were all considered but just failed to make the cut. 2 all stars, 4 others that were nominated, 10 Joe Ward winners and 11 clubs represented. What do you think?

Good team that. Martin Farrelly was a good player also along with Declan Byrne but hard to argue with your selection.

Great team Ollie. Each of them gave us lots of excitement. Baby Goss deserves a mention
Strange sort of a story that. An LMFM article said that the management resigned, but Clarke had actually resigned a month ago. The executive was asked a week ago if Clarke had resigned and they said he hadn't. So either he had or he hadn't. That was very relevant information to for the clubs to know to influence their vote.
The LGFA chairman thanks the management and the backroom team. Was Hanlon not the manager and the other two boys part of the backroom team (coaches). Did everyone want to be a manager?
I understand this first became an issue in August. When the executive and the manager knew that no player wanted the manager back, why was it persisted with until now? In the history of the GAA / LGFA when no player has faith in the management, they walk for the greater good. It is not always a one way story, but they still go as to do otherwise is to set the game back in the county. Even in the extreme examples of Cork hurlers and Limerick hurlers the issue wasn't so stark, in the Cork case the dispute was with the county board, and in the Limerick case it wasn't unanimous across all the players. So fair play to Louth, they made history by being the first county board to back the manager against all the players.
