And ye girls out in park need to learn some respect.. Just ask the likes of jimmy sheehan,sean lipper,kevin heffernan, jason purcel,and more recently chuca and tommy barret what they think of him,all who won fai's under him and you'l find out how highly regarded he is.

We all know he is the best manager in the history of junior football and we all respect what he has done. No doubt what he achieved will never be achieved again.

But he lost the dressing room. No one said he should be shouting or roaring. But a few words from a man of his stature would have lifted any of the players. But he didn't do it.

He is sound bloke I got on well enough with him but I felt his heart wasn't in it. If I'm not mistaken he had applied for other jobs,which he has a right to do, but when it gets back to the players that when the S^^T hits the proverbial fan.

Oh and on the girls thing I think you need to think back and remember how many of those girls represented your club during those great years that Fairview enjoyed.

not knocking his achivements with fairview unbeliveable what he achieved it also helps when you have a great bunch of players and also unfortunatly that was in the past and people tend to forget and concentrate on the present time .. :( what has he done after he left fairview !! respect also goes both ways he must be respected and he must respect players .. yes it does seem park are a bit of a soap opera at the moment .. but i saw a lot of there games last season and they struggled big time and missed out on promotion from 1b.. correct me if i am wrong but manager must take some of the blame ..

no thanks .. i also think some of them don't like me :D

seriously i never wanted to get involved at management level have great respect for anybody who is involved at management level but i still believe they have a big say in how a team performs & underperforms and give them credit when they achieve success but also let them know if things are going wrong :ball:

I agree with that. At the end of the day though, they are just blokes trying to do a job not many people want. So credit where it's due. Hopefully Spudd will let us know who takes over. Training tonight will tell a story.

Davy Wall then. What was he like for the first training session? He's not the most vocal of lads I must say. He won't scream and shout, but he has great playing experience and I think he'll be good for Park. On and off the pitch.
