About This Game

The county is yours. So is the blame.

Irish Sport Manager is a management sim about the two great amateur field games, Gaelic football and hurling, played across the thirty-two counties of Ireland and the exile boards of London, New York, Warwickshire, and Lancashire.

You are the bainisteoir. Not a chairman, not a director of football; the man on the sideline in a county jacket, appointed by a board that expects par and dreams of more, working with the players your parishes actually produce. Nobody is bought. Everybody is from somewhere.

Two codes, one sideline.
Football and hurling run side by side on one calendar, with real dual counties, dual players, and the fixture congestion that comes with them. Lead with one code; the other is always a screen away.

The season as she is played.
January shields under sodium lights. A league where the table pays your bills. Provincial championships, round-robin summer groups, back doors, preliminary quarter-finals, and one final in a national stadium of 82,500. Winner on the day: extra time, then penalties, exactly per the regulations.

Match days you actually manage.
Watch the game live; a ticking clock, an ambient ball, replays for the scores that matter. Make your switches while the play runs, burn your subs, pick your moment for the speech at the break, and stand over the result afterward.

A county, not a squad list.
Players come up from real club country; surnames that belong to their ground, a Power where Powers are from. Call a club man into the panel, retrain a corner-back into a midfielder, nurse the panel through training knocks, and answer the disciplinary post on time or lose your man for the summer.

Careers with consequences.
Board confidence, severance cheques, sackings, and the job market that follows them. Silverware buys patience. Drift buys none.
