Looking forward to Louth beating the Dubs next year and Meath and Kildare looking on bewildered - "we didn't know you could do that?"

*disclaimer* just a wee joke before any Meath or Kildare fans take that too seriously

Only 45 miles from Ballygawley. Louth always struck me as a rough diamond sort of team, physical and always hard to play against, and def some potential there.

Wee county but a big Harte
Absolutely brilliant appointment by Louth!
New Manager, New Stadium.
Exiting times ahead for them.
All divisions next year have something unique about them comparing them to other years but we will get into that another time.
Football seems to be on the rise for both Club and County if the correct decisions are made in the next Congress.
Split season and KO champo needed drastically
A two division league is needed in my opinion and should be looked at!
Looking forward till Louth vs Antrim in the League with McGinley and O'Neill taking Antrim.
Teacher vs Student vibes there
Congrats and best of luck to the wee county.

Great appointment, the man has a passion for football and is not using it as a stepping stone he'll put his all into the job and theres not many outside of Louth that I think you could say that about.

If you were playing club football in Louth I definitely think there will be a few lads putting their hands up to try out for the county that maybe had no interest before because of the little reward that you get in comparison to what you put in. Many lads will want the opportunity to play for him

Is Jim McGuinness doing anything at the moment? I won't be surprised if he takes the reins somewhere!

Fair play to Louth. Showing real ambition once again. I wish them the best and hopefully they can make real strides under Mickey. From an Antrim perspective I'm a bit raging we've let another opportunity pass us by but hopefully McGinley and O'Neil can bring something new to the table for us.

Replying To essmac:  "What?"
What , what ? Are you suggesting something negative about Mickey ? What , what ? Are you a wee bit defensive there lad ? Maybe think about it a bit about it before assuming the worst.

Now, there is a line that shouldn't be crossed!

I nearly fell off my chair when I heard that Mickey was taking over Louth. It shows real intent from Louth, hope this works out for them. Best of luck to Mickey and Louth.

Replying To Ollie2:  "Jaysus what a great move to get Mickey Harte. Shocked and delighted all at once."
Good stuff Ollie. It would be great to see Louth climb up the ladder again. Big population there and a big talent pool to draw from. exciting times ahead. Mickey will want to prove that he still has it. The best of luck to both Mickey and Louth in the next 3 years.

O Neill has always wanted to do something to help Antrim cause. Id imagine mc Ginley will be a great manager.

Brilliant news for Louth. He will get the very best out of them at both levels. Great news for Antrim also. Enda and Stephen will give them some boost. Mickie has worked in Dundalk for a few years so he's not exactly new to the area.

Fair play to Mickey for taking on the challenge that is louth, people think we have poor footballers or whatever are mistaken, a big county population wise who battle 2 league of Ireland soccer teams for kids and adults to play the sport...
Yes we are down on confidence, self belief all of that but we are open to someone like Mickey coming in and trying to change all of that..

It's a great appointment for Louth, especially with the U20 aspect of it. A huge population in the county, should be achieving more.

He said recently he wants to get a role back in soccer, whether its coaching or another go at managing.
