GAA: TIPP FOOTBALL CHIEFS WANT SHORTALL BACK.Byline: JACKIE CAHILL TIPPERARY'S football board will recommend to Thursday night's full county board meeting that Andy Shortall be returned as manager. The football board met last night and decided that Shortall and his selectors Jim Cahill and Mick Byrnes should be put forward for another term. Shortall resigned before this year's All-Ireland football qualifier qual·i·fi·er n. 1. One that qualifies, especially one that has or fulfills all appropriate qualifications, as for a position, office, or task. 2. against Fermanagh after the county board failed to postpone a club hurling hurling, outdoor ball and stick game similar to field hockey (see hockey, field). The national pastime of Ireland, it was played for many centuries before the Gaelic Athletic Association standardized the rules in 1884. tie involving two of his panellists. The reputation of Tipperary football was badly hit by the affair and the county board picked up a big fine for failing to fulfil the fixture with Fermanagh. Ever since, the Tipperary county and football boards have been at loggerheads log·ger·head n. 1. A loggerhead turtle. 2. An iron tool consisting of a long handle with a bulbous end, used when heated to melt tar or warm liquids. 3. and at the moment, there's no end in sight. Shortall, Cahill and Byrnes would love to return but county board chairman Donie Shanahan is dead against such a move. The football board discussed the latest state of affairs at last night's board meeting and the saga is sure to come up for discussion at Thursday night's full county board meeting. |
