    Oh well. Good luck to him anyway, at least we've some bit of continuity with Phillip Coffey staying on.

    you are right there Longfordian plus I would guess Derek Glynn will stay too.. Will that mean a lot of last seasons squad will stay cos of Philip Coffey?

    Cronin was planning on keepng 10 or 11 of them apparently if he stayed so I'd assume Phillip Coffey will mention the ones he feels should be kept to Tony Cousins. I don't know enough about Coffey's relationship with the players to say whether that would mean they'll be sticking around but at least he'll know all about them.

    a positive move by the club bringing someone in so quick. This could turn out to be a good appointment. As for galway fans not liking him they dont like gough, kenna and now foster too so thats irrelevant. Best of luck to tony and philip heres hopin for an improved season

    some interesting facts on him on the great manager to be himself.. I remember in December 1990 buying Match magazine and reading the lineouts in it.. on the bench in that particular issue for Liverpool that day but didnt come on was a certain Tony Cousins!

    I remember him being on the bench for Liverpool a few times back in the day alright. Before you were born Keen2Win!. When Liverpool used to win leagues.

    Anyone was going to be a bit "meh", but at least it's an early appointment and he'll get a full preseason. Some of the things that were an issue with Galway will be less so with us (being Dublin based for one). Galway are the new bohs in terms of being fickle anyway.

    On the other hand...

    I just don't get it...

    Man United fans watch Man United TV
    Chelsea fans watch Chelsea TV
    Arsenal fans watch Arsenal TV

    But why do Liverpool fans watch the History Channel?

    Unless you're a particularly "special" secondary school student (you've said before you're in school) you weren't born when Liverpool last won the league!.

    True! Anyway, I'm not going to make any judgements until the first half of the season is over!

    All this thing about Galway fans being fickle is rubbish. No team likes losing their manager particularly to their rivals.

    Tony Cousins had to go. He played horrible football, and had a huge budget, a big source of our crippling debts today. He also said that every player had to move to Galway, when he was going remaining in dublin himself. Most of the players were unhappy with this. It proved out to be a masterstroke replacing him with Kenna

    The hatred towards Kenna was because he committed himself for the 2009 season, and got on the payroll for a month. He then walked when Pats job came around

    The so called hatred towards Foster is not the opinion of all Galway fans. We are dissappointed that he has gone to Dundalk, but he hadn't a choice given the conditions he had to work in last year. Most of the hatred has materialised as a result of whats came out in the papers about arguements in the dressing room. I for one am thankful for Foster's work last year, he did a good job on minimal resources.

    Now getting back on topic, Cousins should prove a good appointment for ye. A major hindrance for us in his spell was that not too many players were willing to come to Galway, whereas for ye, ye are alot closer.
