Tipp Minor Manager Has Lashed Out At Crying Mammies And Daddies

Tipp Minor Manager Has Lashed Out At Crying Mammies And Daddies

Tipperary steadied their faltering Munster minor campaign with a handy win over Clare in Ennis last night.

Manager Liam Cahill issued a loud boo-ya to his critics within the county in the aftermath. It was almost Davy-esque except the local media were not targeted and the phrase 'there's been a lot of stuff written about us' didn't get an airing.

Since their loss to Waterford a fortnight ago, his selection policy has come under sustained criticism. It transpires that those most inclined to find fault with his selection policy have been the parents of lads who can't get in the team.

This dangerous and often militant demographic have proven a thorn in the side of many an underage gaffer.

He told the Nenagh Guardian he's fed up of their yammering. He's had to field a couple of phone calls.

I have shipped a lot of criticism since the Waterford match and received a couple of phone calls from parents.

I suppose it’s a parent’s nature to feel that their own geese are swans, but the bottom line is that we are in a competitive environment here in Tipp and not all geese are swans.

I have five fellas earmarked to come in next Tuesday night (to training) that have performed with their club and deserve to be in with us.

And, there are one or two that we let off early in the year that are doing a bit of crying and their mammies and daddies are doing a bit of crying that they are not in the squad.

Cahill is correct when he says that not all geese are swans. In fact, he could go further and say that no geese are swans. They are a different species.
