Armagh - We've obviously done a fair bit right over the past decade so they are not that awful, with the establishment of some good underage structures and soundcoaching programmes.  I would guess the biggest gripe with them (something I would expect to see replicated in other posts) is that they are a law unto themselves sometimes, they have a tendency to ignore the democratic wishes of delegates if the management committee thinks otherwise.

imo Derry county board are the benchmark.
if any other county board are performing in a similar manner or even below that of our Derry version, then they obviously need sacked immediately.
They are the lower band of benchmark that is....

Derry & Donegal do seem to be the most calamitous up north alright - with a wee shout for the good Doc in Antrim.  Cork must be the most high profile.

*meant to put this on main board - is there any way to move it?

Leave poor Derry County Board alone. 

They do a great job. Very well organised and great at promoting our games!

Yes I am being sarcastic

Well I put Cavan up as a strong contender for the worst decision ever made, to appoint Donal Keoghan as manager of 1st the minors (where he won 1 champ game in 3 years) and then the seniors where he won 1 champ game in 2 years - both his wins against Antrim.

Prior to these appointments Donal had never even managed a club team yet Cavan County Board thought he was worth a punt.

Did the Derry Board ever get a full time secretary after it was re-advertised for the second or third time?

I head that they had got someone for the job, but after a discussion with county board officials the person decided against it

not for the first time I will disagree with you
ok actually I dont , but thought I'd just say that   :o
still cavan are not near as bad as Derry imo
while bad enough, at least cavan were forced to appoint keoghan because he was pumping a lot of money into the county sides

Derry have no excuse

Well the good Doc does check in on this site, before telling the local media to shut it down.....A man more obsessed with his own ego/profile than the wellbeing of Antrim Gaa

Armagh get a lot of abuse but I suppose they are probably one of the better boards.

A few small points would be more input needed for underage structute and start putting Championship games as double-headers! Other than that they are doing a good enough job.

full back

IMHO, Derry & Antrim are at the top of the pile

Hughie Morgan's contributions to the cause probably hide other probs.
