ALL-IRELAND WINNING managers John Allen and John O’Mahony are set to assume advisory roles with Carlow GAA next season.
Allen, who steered Cork to the 2005 All-Ireland senior hurling crown and Limerick to the Munster title last year, is set to be an advisor to new Carlow senior hurling boss Pat English. Ballinkillen club member English has been in charge of the Carlow U21 hurlers for the last two years and takes over from John Meyler, who stepped down last June.
O’Mahony, who guided Galway to All-Ireland senior football triumphs in 1998 and 2001, will be an advisor for new Carlow senior football manager Turlough O’Brien. Éire Óg club man O’Brien was the coach this year when Anthony Rainbow was the manager of the Carlow senior team.
O’Brien has previously guided his club to Carlow senior titles and also been at the helm of county minor and U21 teams.
Ireland 1-1 Croatia, Ireland 0-0 Spain, Ireland 2-1 Italy. That should see us qualify.
I admire your optimism!
Spain 5/1 not to get out if the group, you heard it here first!!

God, I miss Scrap Saturday…
Ire 1-3 Cro Ire 0-5 Spain Ire 0-0 Ita Italy win on penalties.
Why would the Italy game go to penalty kicks ??
…. In the later stages of the competition of course :) Possibly a final?
They haven’t a hope. Let’s just be honest about it.
What are you basing this on? What are your reasons for saying that?
Irl 0 Croatia 2 IRl 1 Spain 0 Irl 1 Italy 1 touch and go whether we get out of group
So were going to lose 2-0 to a team we seem to continually daw with then beat the current world & european champions, id like to know what odds you’d get on that???:) as long as we dont lose our first game, I think we have a gr8 chance of getting out of the group
win against Croatia, draw v Spain and win against Italy, out of the group…. I’m unashamedly optimistic :-)
Come on you boys in green!!!
does that make Dunphy his cardinal Rischloue?
After getting trashed in the opening two games i reckon Dumbo Delaney will ask blatter for penalties in the Italian game to see who finishes bottom.
