CLARE COUNTY BOARD chairman Michael McDonagh is set to run for Fianna Fáil in the upcoming General Election.
McDonagh was selected last night in Ennis and will now join Timmy Dooley, the sitting Fianna Fáil TD in Clare, on the party ticket.
During the week Miltown-Malbay native McDonagh was embroiled in a war of words with Clare hurling legend Ger Loughnane in local newspaper The Clare Champion.
Loughnane accused McDonagh of only being interested ‘in his own popularity’ and his political career rather than the future of Clare hurling.
McDonagh hit back to defend his record and described Loughnane’s comments as ‘intentionally misleading’ and with the intention of damaging his candidacy.
His future as Clare county board chairman remains unclear.
Outrageously misleading headline. Hodgson didn’t say what it suggests he said at all.
The journal is turning into a sun/star styled mashup. where did it all go wrong?
Suarez was brilliant in the last World Cup and in the Copa America. He should be alright in this one too.
Especially his fingertip save ….
headline misleasding, uruguay have a good squad though I disagree with woy there..cavani, gaston ramirez, godin and gimenez the two athletico defenders and christian rodriguez who have just won la liga and are in the champions league final and diego forlan is still a great finisher even with his age, they have quality in attack and defence.. personally i think england wont have the quality to beat them
You’re dead right Paddy. You didn’t even mention Walter Gargano or Edigo Arevalo Ríos in midfield or Maxi Peirera, Martín Cáceres or Alvaro Peirera on the flanks. Uruguay will be very difficult to beat and will play in a style very similar to Atletico. At 25/1 to win the World Cup they’re a decent outside bet.
Only RVP scored as many goals as Suarez in World Cup qualifiers, and there are no easy matches in South American qualifying.
Fancy Suarez to score against England.
He could have a point ! How will he cope with more then one game in a week ???
I’m guessing he ingested something psychedelic earlier in the day and followed up that observation with “….
and I think danny welbeck will win the golden boot”
Roy didnt preform well with any club wheather managing england or liverpool. So speaching against the talent of a player that could do serious damage to him and england is very wrong!
At least Roy can spell…….
silly comment willie
If anything id say Suarez will have England in his sights.
Roy on the other hand is a poor manager with a limited squad, especially up front.
Roy needs a copy of mind games for dummies. He should know Suarez is world class and that he won’t be affected by anything the england manager says. Might work with Ballotelli however
U fool roy, wud u say the same id it was messi r ronaldo, time will spell then end of u
Gobbledygook
I’d say Roy might struggle more than him at at the world cup
