[Liam McCorry]

I think the CB will take their time with this and it could take to October. After all, whats the rush? Personally, I'd like to see Geezer and Big Paul back with the likes of Marsden or McGrane involved. I think Brian McAlinden will be a strong candidate. He did a good job with U21s and thats where last manager came from. Would also like to see Liam McCorry involved in coaching role, but again he works with Ulster council so not sure where that fits in.

Liam McCorry was also part of the u21 set up with armagh this year.

Whar have marsden and scullion done as coaches to merit inclusion?

only two of the best coaches in ireland...

anyway, outside manager could be out of question - consider the cost cutting measures the county board has carried out this last while, development squads were nearly gone completely and i would imagine the expenses issue was a key factor in the last choice of management, with the, er, successful candidates being probably the cheapest option. while our counterparts in tyrone are building multi-million pound centres of excellence armagh spent the guts of 10 years renovating the athletic grounds. two county boards at complete opposite ends of the spectrum. tyrone built on what they achieved in 03, armagh stood back and thought it would never end.

Think it needs to be a north armagh manager now.

why?

i think it doesnt really matter where the manager would come from. i dont think there would be too many who want it.

in any case, the recent south armagh dominance of armagh football can be seen in (a) Crossmaglen and (b) the number of teams in division 1.

We need Beefer in the worst way. 

Big Grimley will get the job done.

cant see it happening...yet..

well it will be a welcome but probably not a nice one.

cruppen have cullyhanna away, and home to sarsfields, clans, mullaghban.

cruppen and ogs drew 1 - 6 to 9.

i heard cullyhanna beat sarsfields.

these tickets are a disaster. i know ones who had them going to the down v london game, they just had the card thing that was in use for the league and whoever at the gate said to them "ah are you trying to get in free? i never heard of these things". there was a bit of an argument until someone else stewarding cleared up the issue and allowed them in.

Not a chance. based on what?

Aidan O'Rourke has done well enough as Queens manager?

are you Aidan O'Rourke?

mutterings from some corners are that aidan was running the show this year anyway.. and look how that panned out.

duno what way that would work out. we've played once a week since the start of the league and an extra 4 games will make it a month longer. does championship season stay where it is? county board has aready made a mess of the u21 championship (again), which should go back to the end of season competition it used to be. Does the senior championships be put back so that the first round is in sept then? possible clash with ulster club games??

The number of games intercounty players get with their clubs will be entirely down to how far Armagh would go, obviously with a match every week then for whatever number of games armagh play the players will miss the club action. The only way this will ever change is if the county and club season did not run at the same time which will never happen. If you ask intercounty players if they really want an extra 4 games on the club season in the league each year i could hazard a guess that it wouldnt be that important to be honest.

I know it is the Sun, but
Footballers shouldnt ever open their mouths, especially if this is true

Rooney told The Sun: "I haven't a clue what else I would have done. I wasn't really the best in school


"I always enjoyed RE (religious education), so maybe a priest."

just on that, and i know not united related but this put it in my head.

heard an interview on the radio from neil warnock on the paddy kenny saga there last week. he said he didnt think paddy would be one for taking drugs but that he "wasnt exactly the brightest". class.

[anyone going to watch clans and mullaghban, expect a dour, low scoring match with mullaghban playing almost everyone behind the ball.]

Having watched Mullabawn this year they are the most negative team I've ever seen at club level. A limited side who play with 13 men behind the ball any team will struggle to score much against them.

peter mc donnell,s not over mullagbawn too is he ? 

No but his influence is evident, although maybe it is enda's influence and not mcdonnells that is evident in both teams....

i doubt tevez would be able to read a text from fergie in all honesty, he can hardly speak 2 words of english, his interview after winning the league was ridiculous.

it depends who culloville are playing that determines what pitch they play on. cruppen played them on the new field at the start of the year but i think they played sarsfields on the old one. I would imagine they will play dromintee on the new field all the same.

i think the permutations leave it that not all the teams on 11 points can finish with more than 16 points so one more win will see cruppen and ogs definately safe, for culloville to catch either of these two they need to win all and cruppen and ogs to lose all games, which i cant see happening.

anyone going to watch clans and mullaghban, expect a dour, low scoring match with mullaghban playing almost everyone behind the ball. Cross will hopefully try to go unbeaten from a cruppen perspective as we have already played them twice. Worst thing for some teams is for them to play their "secong string" as these are all lads looking to break into the championship team. If st pats can stop the goals they should beat sarsfields but thats easier said than done.

Sweet jesus that's risky giving him that jersey.

risky giving him any sort of jersey.
