Limerick manager Billy Lee rips into County Board

Limerick football manager Billy Lee has ripped into the County Board after a week of mishaps leading up to their 12 point defeat by Clare in the Munster Senior Football Championship on Saturday. 

Lee was unhappy with numerous incidents in the lead up to the game including the wrong player-list being sent to Croke Park ahead of the clash with Clare. 

"Some of the stuff that I've had to put up with this week from our County Board has been shocking, absolutely shocking," Lee told Spin South-Wests' Valarie Wheeler, adding: "There was a lad on our bench today that we couldn't use because the wrong list went to Croke Park.

"At a quarter to four this evening - I had to set up a conference call with my management team to sort out this.

"Even as late as 10 minutes before the throw-up before the game - there was a game of Russian roulette being played because I wasn't prepared to go out on the field with the team - it was gone to that extreme.

"They changed it but then again they came to us at half time and said if we won this game we'd have to forfeit this game. 

"Like, I work in a job, the lads work in a job - we've got full time administrators and they can't do their jobs right. 

"During the week, we came to training here - we brought lads from Dublin, Cork and Galway and there was no food provided for the players - someone f**ked up!

"On Wednesday morning, no-one told me there was a team to be put in for the programme on Wednesday and I had to convene a conference call at work on a busy day to get it and as a consequence of this - there was a f**k up. It's just unbelievable that that's what it has come to and what you have to deal with!

"You've people paid to do a job and they can't do it - that's what we're dealing with in Limerick!"
