Roghnóir
Maor Foirne: Start
A '''roghnóir''' (plural: ''roghnóirí''; [https://ift.tt/2Q9fKQH pronunciation]) is an assistant coach of a team in [[Gaelic games]]. Several of these may assist the [[bainisteoir]] (the manager involved in the direction and instruction of the on-field operations of a team) in preparations for games and have a role in the selection of players. Indeed, the word "roghnóir" translates roughly as "selector".<ref></ref> Most roghnóirí are former players themselves, and many may go on to serve as bainisteoir at a later stage, or even have done so previously.
==History==
Throughout the history of the GAA teams were usually run by selection panels. These groups generally had five members; however, on some occasions there could be up to ten roghnóirí. These large selection panels often resulted in self-interest overtaking sound judgement. On many occasions certain roghnóirí could be accused of favouring players from their own clubs. By the early 1970s the GAA began to take note of the merits of having an all-powerful [[soccer]]-style manager accompanied by assistants. In 1973 the Dublin County Board appointed [[Kevin Heffernan (Gaelic footballer)|Kevin Heffernan]] to lead their football team.<ref name="Game changer"></ref> It was the first time in the GAA's history that a manager with substantial powers was appointed.<ref name="Game changer"/>
The term "bainisteoir" emerged outright in the 1970s as a direct influence of the [[BBC]] programme ''[[Match of the Day]]''. A huge proportion of the east coast of Ireland, particularly [[Dublin]], was able to watch this programme, which showed coverage of another sport, that of [[association football]].<ref name="MOTD"></ref> Unwittingly the programme played a huge role in changing the management structure of [[Gaelic Athletic Association]] teams as the [[Dublin GAA|Dublin]] [[Gaelic football|football]] revival of the 1970s evolved.<ref name="MOTD"/>
Other counties soon followed suit by having a strong bainisteoir supported by a small selection panel. The term "bainisteoir" is commonly used these days when referring to [[Gaelic football]] and [[hurling]]. Their assistants in the [[Football programme|match programme]]s are referred to as "roghnóirí".
==Noted roghnóirí==
This is a list of those who have served as roghnóirí and have also had success as bainisteoir of at least one senior inter-county team. All-Ireland Senior Championship titles achieved are in '''bold'''.
