DAVY FITZGERALD INSISTS Colm Bonnar deserves more time at the helm in Tipperary after a disappointing campaign that saw them finish bottom of the Munster round-robin.
The Premier lost four from four in the championship and the former All-Ireland winning manager believes they are well behind the other teams in the province as it stands.
“My honest opinion is they are bit behind the rest of the Munster teams,” he said on the Sunday Game.
“In know they’re building and are in transition but I’d be disappointed with how they performed in the Munster championship. I think Tipperary people would be too. ”They were so far off the mark (against Cork).
Bonnar still has two years remaining on his term after this season and Fitzgerald says Tipperary should stick with him. They may yet be forced to play a relegation play-off if Kerry beat Antrim in the Joe McDonagh Cup final.
“Colm deserves another year to make sure he can get that team to gel better,” said the Clare man.
“But they’ve got to be tighter. I know it’s his first year move that ball short but there’s more intensity needed there, a bit more pace. It’s going to be a tough year or two ahead for them.”

interesting comments from avram grant today in the daily mail uk about the penalties in moscow in 2008.
after drogba was sent off it left one free penalty taker for chelsea,the plan was for kalou to take it until it became clear that chelseas last penalty was to win it, john terry insisted he’d take it. the rest is history. viva john terry
I know your comment is still valuable but the daily mail isn’t the most reliable of sources tbh. And Kalou stepping up to a penelty god help us anyway
