Backlash against Maughan predictable

The inevitable backlash against former Roscommon manager John Maughan came at this week's county board meeting.
There was no doubt that John Maughan did suffer some vicious criticism from boo boys on the terraces.
However, at the time I thought that he had made a mistake by describing a section of the Roscommon supporters as "customers".
It is usually only the most dedicated fans of any county who go to national league games and to describe them as 'customers' was never going to play well with GAA people in the county.
And so it proved this week with some delegates alleging that Maughan had portrayed the county badly and it was clear that the remark about 'customers' particularly irked some.
Maughan won't be too worried now what they think of him in Roscommon, he has too good a track record to be bothered about the fall-out but it's sad that good GAA people have been soured by ill-considered remarks.
