Is anyone going to come out and say it, what was done to Eddie Brennan tonight was an absolute stitch up job. There is an onus of trust and respect on the interviewers side, and control over content that goes out. In this game we have privileged access to guests and their time.

Adam Screeney rightly gets so much of the plaudits this year for his exploits, but looking back at both the senior and U20 campaigns Dan Bourke has been an absolute revelation, his work rate, ability to create and take scores, and consistency right through both campaigns immense.

We can talk about all the greats there was before, but again, on the biggest day again, Niall McNamee does what he does. Mightn't have the All Ireland's of the glory years but very hard argue that he isn't the best Offaly has ever produced. Won't see likes again in club football.

Can often be critical of our board. But that is a fantastic appointment given Michael's credentials in the game and his S and C qualifications. Will bring a real professionalism to the squad and hopefully bring on the youth in a positive environment. Best of luck and well done.
