Miriam O'CallaghanHOST
10:42
But your partnership with Matt ended when there was a conflict of interest.
Miriam O'CallaghanHOST
10:46
You were commenting on the presidential race, but you had advised Jim Gavin.
Miriam O'CallaghanHOST
10:51
Matt wasn't having it.
Miriam O'CallaghanHOST
10:52
When you look back now
Nigel DunneGUEST
30:37
more? Does the general public need to be updated more as to where we are at different points in the integration? We spoke about rules earlier.
Nigel DunneGUEST
30:46
Jim Gavin ran the perfect PR machine in terms of getting rules over the line.
Nigel DunneGUEST
30:50
And I know it's a less sensitive issue, but we spoke about how we should never change the traditions of GEA and keeping three up and changing the scoring systems.
Nigel DunneGUEST
30:58
We can never do that.
Pat O'TooleGUEST
4:50
It was the presidential election last year.
Pat O'TooleGUEST
4:52
We had Jim Gavin and Captain Connolly and Heather Humphreys going around the planet.
Pat O'TooleGUEST
4:56
Before that, we had the general election the year before.
Pat O'TooleGUEST
4:59
And the farmer organisations had elections, the IFA and the ICMSA in particular.
Pat RyanPANELIST
11:46
And even tough on the rules committee that, you know, you said to me when we were talking about it, if one of these doesn't get through, whatever, for these to go through and if these are to work, they're going to require a lot of patience.
Pat RyanPANELIST
11:57
Because we'll say you're going to these, we'll say the Fitzgibbon Cup, and we'll see if it does go into pre-season games or league games like fellas have been coached like I said I've been coached for the last 15 years through various people have been involved with club, inter-county, minor, 21s and that's how we were coached maybe that's your best way of maybe dispossessing someone that has the ball that if you can get a hand on them with your spare hand you know and they'll release the ball if you make contact with your spare hand when they're holding the ball so it's going to take a lot of time you know and what I do find I know the general public when these came out you know there was a lot of uproar we'll say to changes because even though change is the one constant in life that nobody you know change will always come no matter what and they're just at the end of the day they're just trying to do it to improve the game right but one criticism I have of this rules committee compared to the football what they've done was when the footballers done it and Jim Gavin would talk through it they had already put games on above in Dublin and other places if you remember him going through they had had challenge games where they got players together they had put games on RTE the games remember Munster yeah yeah
Peter ConlonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
12:57
yeah
Pat RyanPANELIST
12:58
So, like, the whole public got to see the rules in front of them before they actually came into action, if you know what I mean.
Michael VerneyHOST
13:17
Yeah, and it's also like, oh, this rule's not going to work as well.
Michael VerneyHOST
13:20
Yeah, exactly.
Pat RyanPANELIST
13:21
But when they got to see it online then, and we'll say the football committee led by Jim Gavin, obviously, who's, you know, you could maybe not get a more experienced person than Jim Gavin, you know, won six, six All-Irelands as a manager.
Pat RyanPANELIST
13:30
Like, he was brilliant.
Darragh O'ConnorHOST
37:14
Ian and John were there as well a- and Jason Sherlock.
Darragh O'ConnorHOST
37:17
And, you know, Jason Sherlock would've been in w- in those, um, Dublin teams with Jim Gavin.
Darragh O'ConnorHOST
37:21
What did he bring to the, to the table?
Senan LambeGUEST
37:23
Jason brought an awful lot, to be fair.
John LeeGUEST
16:47
Um, he is a, he's a Fianna Fáil person through and through.
John LeeGUEST
16:50
If you look at w- even the activity around Jim Gavin, a lot of the, a lot of the political stuff now in Fianna Fáil, Jack Chambers does.
John LeeGUEST
16:58
But so he's-
Matt CooperHOST
16:59
That's why Micheál Martin likes him so much, is it?
Jack ChambersGUEST
36:10
No, not ret-
Jack Horgan-JonesPANELIST
36:11
... after the Jim Gavin stuff?
Jack ChambersGUEST
36:11
Not, not reticent at all.
Jack ChambersGUEST
36:13
Um-
Jack ChambersGUEST
36:50
Because, um, for me, it's, you know, sometimes in, in the role I'm in, you know, doing the right thing for the economy and for the management of the public finances, obviously that causes disruption and different, uh, you know, from a political perspective.
Jack ChambersGUEST
37:07
But ultimately-
Jack Horgan-JonesPANELIST
37:07
You don't feel that you, that you damaged yourself too badly with the Jim Gavin fiasco-
Jack ChambersGUEST
37:11
Not at all
Jack ChambersGUEST
36:07
you change language? Do you feel
Jack Horgan-JonesPANELIST
36:09
that it's not there for you at the moment after the Jim Gavin
Jack ChambersGUEST
36:11
stuff? Not reticent at all.
Jack ChambersGUEST
36:14
Well, say it then.
Jack ChambersGUEST
37:02
obviously that causes disruption in different, you know, from a political perspective.
Jack ChambersGUEST
37:07
You don't
Jack Horgan-JonesPANELIST
37:07
feel that you damage yourself too badly with the Jim Gavin fiasco to have a go with the leadership in this? Not at all.
Jack Horgan-JonesPANELIST
37:14
No, I
PaulHOST

Aston Rye and St Gabriel's they'll battle it out for the final spot in that group on Sunday at 1 o'clock to see whichever one of those comes out on top goes through to the semi-final and Williamstown they play Hepford on Sunday at 1 o'clock and they have a chance to go and beat Hepford and top the group but in all current form you won't have to say Hepford are favourites for that and probably should expect them to get the job done they look to stand out team already when it comes to the junior football championship but before we finish Sean in one word in one word who's going to be the next Galway senior football manager
Sean O'DonnellGUEST
65:24
oh jeepers I'll give you two words who it won't be and who I'd like it to be right it won't be Jim Gavin And I'd like to see James Horne based on there.
Sean O'DonnellGUEST
65:39
But then hearing he, and you were kind of telling me earlier on a podcast or something that he said, it's a tough one.
Sean O'DonnellGUEST
65:44
County board have a serious position.
Aisling MaherGUEST
5:21
Um, the changes in the, in the football comes to mind.
Aisling MaherGUEST
5:23
You know, Jim Gavin lead- leading that committee.
Aisling MaherGUEST
5:25
Obviously, it's a different situation.
Aisling MaherGUEST
5:27
There's different challenges, but i- it's the same idea, right, in that it's, it's a significant change to one of our games.
