FORMER Clare hurler Paul Flanagan has joined the Banner’s senior football backroom team as a performance coach.
Flanagan, 32, retired from inter-county hurling in September after collecting his second All-Ireland medal as a member of the panel that beat Cork in last July’s Liam MacCarthy Cup decider.
The Ballyea man holds a master’s in mental health, mental skills and performance psychology from the University of Limerick.
He will look to put his expertise to use with the Clare footballers, who picked up their first win under Peter Keane on Sunday, beating Leitrim.
Meanwhile, Brian Lacey has called for the duration of inter-county football matches to be cut from 70 to 60 minutes.
The former Kildare and Tipperary star also fears that weaker counties will suffer amid the increased demands on players by the game’s new rules.
Speaking after his side’s National League win over Dublin on Saturday, Donegal boss Jim McGuinness proposed that teams be able to make six substitutions instead of five with the game now more taxing following the introduction of the new rules.
Lacey served as coach and performance analyst when his native Tipp reached the All-Ireland semi-finals in 2016.
He was also part of Glenn Ryan’s backroom team in Kildare for the past three seasons.
But he said: “My one concern about the work surrounds the weaker counties.
“I think the stronger counties will get stronger on the back of these rules and, look, I’m happy enough for these rules to be implemented.
“But one thing I’m very strong about is to bring the inter-county game back from 70 minutes to 60.
“If you look at the Railway Cup games last October and you chat to guys on GPS monitoring, the number of kilometres covered.
“The amount of time the ball was in play, and the high-intensity running over 60 minutes was already equivalent to 70 minutes of the old rules.
“Factor in more speed and explosiveness of runs with the tap and go, and more time on the field because of stoppages and you can now be around 85 minutes on the field.”

BRIAN FLANAGAN has added his voice to calls for an increase in the number of substitutions that can be made under Gaelic football’s new rules.
Following his side’s win over Dublin last weekend, Donegal manager Jim McGuinness proposed that teams be permitted to introduce six subs instead of five to cope with the increased demands placed on players by the Football Review Committee’s enhancements.
Wins over Fermanagh and Sligo have seen Flanagan make an encouraging start to his reign since succeeding Glenn Ryan as Kildare gaffer.
He told the Kildare Nationalist: “The new rules, the new game, the amount of high-speed running that’s involved in it.
“You’re going to need a minimum of five and obviously there’s a bit of debate now around an extra sub or two and I’d be in favour of that.
“I think it’s needed and five is just about cutting it for us at the minute.”
Elsewhere, Mayo icon Lee Keegan admits that Galway’s comfortable victory in Castlebar on Sunday is further evidence that the balance of power has shifted in Connacht.
Mayo legend Keegan lamented the ‘ponderous, laboured’ performance produced by his county in their 0-26 to 0-16 defeat.
Having also lost their National League opener against Dublin, Kevin McStay’s side are languishing at the foot of the Division 1 table alongside Derry.
Key players such as Aidan O’Shea, Tommy Conroy, Paddy Durcan and Jordan Flynn have yet to feature for Mayo in 2025.
But Keegan told SunSport: “It’s not as straightforward as saying they’ll come back in and steer the ship right away.
“It’ll take them a little time to integrate into the new rules, the set-up of the team and match fitness is a big thing as well.
“I felt Mayo would probably struggle in Division 1 this year. I think they’re a little bit off the pace in terms of the rules.
“And even though Kevin said he thought they were in a good place in terms of conditioning, it didn’t look that way to me on Sunday.
“There’s a lot to work on. I wouldn’t be pushing panic buttons in the first week of February but they’re a bit off where the other teams are at the moment.”
WEEK two in the Big Brother house and things just got a lot more interesting.
A new game, a new dawn in football and we’re getting the hang of it, we think.
Even Kieran McGeeney was upbeat about it all after Armagh’s 1-23 to 0-19 win over Tyrone. Winning helps, all the same.
Aidan Forker, Ethan Rafferty (two!) and Ross McQuillan made hay with two-pointers while Andre Murnin thrived inside with 1-4 from play. Not bad, lads.
Donegal and Dublin served up a cracker in Ballybofey, as the hosts won by four. Daire Ó Baoill’s double from outside the arc was vital in a game that had it all bar a goal.
But the big winner of the weekend was Kerry against Derry at Celtic Park, healing the scars of their awful All-Ireland quarter-final last summer.
The Oak Leaf piled everyone behind the ball and the Kingdom frustratingly had to wear them down for over 70 minutes of torture.
We’d seen so many of these games for far too long, but it was the epitome of why change was so badly needed.
Croke Park lay silent in boredom. Anyone with an old Nokia phone played ‘snake’ and anyone else with a bit of sense hit the road for home.
It was truly awful stuff, but their rematch on Sunday truly banished the dismay we all felt at that 0-15 to 0-10 borefest last June.
Same teams, totally different game. Kerry took the points on their long spin south.
But finally, football was the true winner in one of the most electric national league games in recent memory.
Jack O’Connor’s men prevailed 5-15 to 1-24 in a game you simply could not get enough of. Goals from Donal O’Sullivan and Paul Geaney grabbed the headlines, but this was so much more than that.
Both teams went for it, all guns blazing. No mass defences, never-ending spells of keep-ball or death by hand-passing.
The Kingdom rained goals without David Clifford, and banished the notion that they rely too heavily on hom for scores in one foul swoop.
Conor Geaney netted twice and was one of eight players who got on the scoresheet as both teams showed us all how it’s done.
League form always comes with a word of caution, especially when it comes to the bigger guns.
Derry won the league last year and it counted for nothing when their championship was an all-out disaster.
But Kerry’s intent was hard to ignore in our first proper look at them since their All-Ireland semi-final collapse to Armagh last July.
Derry can feel hard done by, but their own positives were plentiful. This was much, much better than their round 1 flop against Tyrone as old reliables Ethan Doherty, Brendan Rogers, Conor Glass and Shane McGuigan thrived.
Of course, it is not all rosy. Referee David Gough jumped into the diary room and aired his dismay at not having a proper rulebook. You could see his point.
Officials need all the help they can get with the sweeping new laws, and each commandment in writing is the least you would expect.
In fairness, Croke Park chiefs listened – and an updated digital version of the official guide was uploaded to their website on Friday.
Jim McGuinness was next to get his feelings off his chest – and stressed that six substitutes are needed after hamstring hell dominated their 0-20 to 0-16 win over Dublin.
Sky Blues trio Davy Byrne, James Madden and Colm Basquel were all hit with the same injury and McGuinness’ flying defender Peadar Mogan was gassed at the end of the game.
The new rules were always going to increase the workload on players, and the Dubs really fell victim to that at the weekend.
Six subs isn’t a bad shout to give teams an extra option off the bench, but will it suit the big dogs with deeper resources?
Time will tell if it is even considered as a possible tweak when the ongoing assessments are conducted by Jim Gavin and co. behind the glass doors.
His new “Game Intelligence Unit” are already reaming through endless data after the first two rounds.
The first major review is underway. Tweaks will come, and what those are remains to be seen.
Gavin’s next update will be interesting and he usually has a firm response for the doubters – but it is hard not to feel the love so far.
