Has to be one of the worst managers in the first division, total BS artist whose team have played with a massive advantage of a plastic pitch for coming into it's third full season and they're still stuck in the first division. And now he is managing a national side! Why what has he done? What will the Players that play under good managers learn from this character? Nothing, zero is my guess, FAI hang your head in shame.
What's he done? Won a First Division championship ahead of a very strong field, on a small budget at pre-season odds of 20/1 (so more than Scully) and been robbed of another promotion by a spurious contrived process hiding behind an acronym. "Plastic" pitch has nothing to do with it.
I would have thought this appointment was more to do with his being a mate of Fenlon, though.
LOL so Dundalk have no advantage of playing on a plastic pitch? :eek::DQuote:

He won the first division that is nothing special, i would not say Gill himself is still living off that son. He is a BS artist and was a nothing footballer, players are going to learn nothing off him. On the day the FAI show off Trap to the world this blooper goes unoticed by the media.
He's not managing a national side, he's no a management team of a national side. Nutsy is the U23 manager.Quote:

I've no love for Dundalk but fair play to Giller. Credit where it's due.
Premier Division "sh*t".Quote:

Like the 3 Wise Men followed the Star of Bethlehem,

Then Maxi and the Christmas tree "farsh" happened. :D
Then Dundalk finished 3rd last year after leading for much of the campaign and again this year his side are presently 8 points ahead of the chasing pack.
He must be doing something right and in my opinion deserves the recognition. Well done Gill, ignore the begrudgers.
As stupid as the idea of an IAG choosing the best team was (and the UCD fans kind of got on people's nerves here pointing it out all throughout that year), that playoff was worth near nothing in the agreement his club signed up to at the start of the year, and Gill made an arse of himself whinging when it still meant exactly what it was supposed to at the end of the year.Quote:

So Fenlon wants Gill on his team?
What has happened to his other great buddy, left destitute after his sacking by GUFC?
Enough to make you run to the papers proclaiming what an awful shower of tits are running the U23 team when the won't give the job to one of the best managers/coaches in the country.
Wonder will Phat Prat Pat get his wig in a spin over this?
Expect TC to be on MNS whinging about how unfair life is to him, and how much better life would be in Athlone :p:D

Giller has made the play offs in both seasons he`s been with Dundalk, missing winnning the lge title by one point in 2006, I think he deserves a bit of credit.
