THEY’RE THREE OF the last four managers still standing in the 2013 All-Ireland senior hurling championship.
And today Davy Fitzgerald, Anthony Daly and John Allen scoped out Croke Park ahead of their big games next month.
The Clare, Dublin and Limerick bosses were all present as GAA hurling championship sponsors Etihad Airways launched ‘Raise The Bar 2013′.
The initiative is a chance for GAA clubs to win a year’s sponsorship package with more details to be found at etihadgaa.ie

Here’s how the three bosses got on as they pucked around at headquarters today.
1. ‘Hood up lads. Get the game face on’
2. ‘Look, just tell me John, how did ye manage to beat Cork?’
3. ‘This is how I cleared it playing for Clare in the 90′s’
4. ‘Follow through and you’ll get 24 points. That was the pre-match Munster final message’
5. ‘Eye on the ball lads’
6. ‘Right, who’s taking what sliotar?’
7. ‘Let’s rehearse the handshake for August 18th’
8. ‘Who’ll be laughing if we’re both in the final in September?’

Letting Lucas go to Napoli would be a huge mistake. Lucas has been a key player for Liverpool this season. He does the dirty work very well and yes he will get booked every 2nd game but he’s good at what he does. Liverpool have lost most of the games they’ve played without Lucas which is another key factor in him staying. Also replacing him with Delph? Another over rated English centre mid who produced a handful of decent appearances last season but nothing to capture the imagination.
Yep was just going to say it man. To be honest last summer I’d have let him go but he’s been the difference since coming back at the end of November. I think the only game we’ve lost since has been man utd and he wasn’t playing that day….
Letting him go now would be a mistake especially if they think they can replace him with Delph! Who’s more like for like with Joe Allen than Lucas anyway.
Which leads me to my next point… Sell Joe Allen
Who in their right mind would buy Joe Allen though? Unless Rodgers gets the sack and buys him for his next club..
Lol
In sure Swansea would take him off Liverpool’s hands for 5 million……
If someone pays 5 million for him I’d be amazed!
‘Müller to Manchester United’ anyone who believes this should read the book Pep: Confidential, and that’ll end all rumours. Guardiola holds Müller in the highest regard and has big plans for the future, over time he wants him to pay much deeper in midfield, doubt he’d sacrifice those plans to sell him to United
You’re probably right but we reds can dream! He looks enough like Lahm that we could stick him at right back and he’d still be exponentially better than Rafael…
United don’t need him anyway, they already have 4 players who play in largely the same position.
I wonder will sanogoal keep up his record at palace
Transfer window is already boring,pure fantasy to sell their crummy red tops.
If Rodgers sells Lucas to Napoli I think questions will have to be asked about this man. He’s already driven Suso out of the club, a player who deserves much more game time and would run circles around players like Borini who’ve started ahead of him. He also got rid of Agger, yet kept Kolo, and despite lots of investment in our back4 we’re actually worse than last season.
His persistent refusal to get a decent defensive coach in is costing our team valuable points because of his ignorance to the fact that he can’t organise a defence, never mind to the standards of other defense-organising managers like Simeone or Mourinho. If Lucas goes, we have little hope of top4 imo, he’s one of the only decent defensive mids we have and is much better than rodger’s favourite, Joe Allen.
Remember when Benitez took a huge gamble trying to sign Gareth Barry and disillusioned Xabi?!
Didn’t sign Barry and Xabi fooked off!!
Lucas is far more experienced than Delph, I’d sign him and hold onto Delph and let him gain experience while he is there for the rest of the season!
Despite the Champions League success, I still cannot find it in me to not hate Rafa over losing Xabi Alonso. He did his best to lose that final too by not starting Didi Hamann!
Heard a rumour that I’m going to sign for galway Utd….but fifa 15 denies it…
Delph…Jasus. Not impressed if this happens
