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:

Total respect for John Gill. Won the title with Dublin City , with no plastic pitch & Fcuk all money.Quote:

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

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.
we in waterford have the worse manager in league history (garath cronin)Quote:

just think of the list of managers that are better than gill. mahon, matthews, kenny keely etc. nutsy really has lost it if he thinks gill can help him and the u-23's
I don't suppose any of those would be particularly keen to take time out from their lucrative day-jobs to play second fiddle to Nutsy.
Seriously, can you imagine Keely let loose on the cream of the league's young talent? They'd all have turned into balding centre-halves smoking forty a day before the week was out.
Mahon was involved in this last year. Not sure why he's not this time, maybe has better things to do.Quote:

You only have about 53 fans.I wonder what your gates will be like back in Division 1 when you have no away fans to treble the crowd
No need to wonder, you'll find out when you head down next year.Quote:

Getting 3-1 tonight this guy is a joker and as soon as people start kopping on to this absolute sham the better espicially the poor tortured souls in Dundalk. The web staff at the club will be in for another hard day.
Battle of the so called heavyweights in the first division its clear now Dundak will throw away that lead,when playing in Cobh-Shels always looked more organised anyway good luck to them hope they win it if anything it"ll give City someone else to dispise...
Gill is a legend and deserves recognition from what he has achieved and were he has brought us..when he took over we wer just about mid table an now were challenging every year not too mention he did technically get us promoted in his first season in charge only for us to be robed!!!
ined, but does this make him no.2 behind fenlon in the list of best managers, no. Also hendo ,from our point of view, has done better than gill, with not even 1/5 of the resources, when we were reading yere programme last year we realised that ye nearly had more off field staff than we did bloody playersQuote:
