AIDAN O’ROURKE AND Paddy Carr are set to be nominated for ratification as the new Donegal senior football team management on Monday night.
Donegal GAA confirmed there are County Executive and County Committee meetings taking place tomorrow in the Donegal GAA Centre, Convoy.
They are hoping the new management will be recommended by the Executive and ratified by County Committee at these meetings.
The role has been vacant since July 20 when Declan Bonner stepped away after his second spell at the helm. St Eunan’s manager Rory Kavanagh had been heavily linked with the position before ruling himself out of contention.
St Eunan’s lost in the county SFC final last week against Naomh Conaill.
2002 Armagh All-Ireland winner O’Rourke worked with Down boss James McCartan last year. He previously managed Louth at inter-county level and was involved with Kieran McGeeney’s Armagh and Kildare coaching ticket.
Donegal native Carr led Kilmacud Crokes to the 2009 All-Ireland club title. The Fanad Gaels club man went on to manage Ballymun Kickhams.
The new management team already know their path for 2023. Donegal’s championship will start against Down in the quarter-finals, with the winner taking on one of Cavan, Antrim or Armagh in the semi-final.
Two very average sides at the moment, the premier league has been in steady decline for a number of years now.
Both teams not in great form but Utd have the knack of winning games this season when they could be drawing or losing them which could be the difference on Sunday but in saying that it is Man Utd v Liverpool and form tends to go out the window in these games and I’m sure both teams will be fired up for it.
Dont care what gary neville thinks.. lvg is a winner
I watched a good bit of this game, it’s the first time I have seen UTD since the beginning of the season. They haven’t improved much. How are they 3rd.
Because the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs, Everton etc, their main rivals from last year are playing worse than Utd this season.
No it’s not. It’s because they’ve got 28 points from 15 games and would be top 4 with that tally any other season too.
I wish ye’d actually upload the video of van Gaal’s response. He is so outraged, it’s brilliant!
Sorry, wasn’t up when I first posted.
In fairness he is right to say he has to pay attention to his words. They needed three points from St. Marys and they got them. There is no point in a past player wading in and being critical when they are 3rd in the league. At least wait until after the New Year to bash the team.
Gway they wouldn’t beat Eggs..
It was a dire performance by Utd. However for the 3 clear chances Utd they converted two which has to be seen as good. On a rugby pitch that would be an excellent return, especially if the other side were dominating possession like Southampton were last night.
3rd in the league and facing Liverpool on Sunday with a number of straight wins…its shaping up to be a cracker for both sides!!
