Why are Hicks and Gillett bringing the board to court anyway? Surely they should accept the democratic decision of the board to sell to the Red Sox owner and make a bit of bob on the club? I'm not one who's well up on these things, I sometimes have to re-read the Glazer situation on Utd to find out how they operate as well.

I know very little about these things but are hicks and gillett not the majority stake holders and thus don't have to do anything they don't want too no matter how unpopular that is?

directors have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the company( which in law is a seperate legal entity)  which is what the 3 guys said they did, the crux of the matter is whether hicks and gillete had the authority to remove them prior to the directors meeting

interesting game, not that fussed if armagh beaten as back door seems the way forward
cork and kerry will be waiting in the quarters

[Murtagh adamant McGurn will stay]

Donal Murtagh's take on it. Sounds like McGurn might be drawing up a few training programmes and the likes for the Clare boys. Nothing that should affect his work in Armagh too much.

Murtagh adamant McGurn will stay

Thursday September 30 2010

ARMAGH selector Donal Murtagh is confident that renowned fitness trainer Mike McGurn will remain with the Orchard County in 2011, despite reports linking him with Clare.

Former Ireland rugby team trainer McGurn served in an advisory capacity to Clare and Kilmurry-Ibrickane manager Micheal McDermott during the Banner County outfit's run to this year's All-Ireland Club final defeat against Antrim's St Gall's.

But the Crossmaglen Rangers man is mystified by the reports stating that McGurn, who will also train Anthony Tohill's International Rules team, is going to be part of Clare's set-up for next season.

"I was talking to (Armagh manager) Paddy O'Rourke at the weekend and he never mentioned a thing about Mike going to Clare. If that was the case, I'm sure that Paddy would have said something about it," Murtagh said.

"Mike lives in Belfast and with the distance involved in travelling, I'd say that working with Clare would be a non-runner for him. As far as I was aware, Mike was going to be with Armagh for a few years, and the only way I could see him being involved with Clare would be merely on an advisory basis."

When I saw this first I thought he had gone to Clare after the fall out from the Dublin game where Dublin just blew Armagh away physically.

It must be just a nixer or something like that.

I would say he is trying to maximise income during the close season because he may be out of a job come next summer if the team doesnt shape up, i personally felt we weren`t in as good as shape as when mc closkey was about 
any news on the rumour hughie is pulling the plug on sponsoring the county and have we lined up anyone to replace justy mc nulty

It's heartening to see the Utd fans obsession with Benitez shows no signs of abating.

sure old whiskey nose had to slag him off last week as well

Benitez is the reason Liverpool are where they are. He had money. He spent £250 million on questionable talent. Winning the CL made him a legend in the fans' mind and that has clouded their judgement on his capability.

benitez was agenius( look what he is doing with inter
he made aprofit in his last three transfer windows and if lfc sold torres and reina he would have made a profit overall in his dealoings
dont fall for the press hodgson is a joke but hey everything is rafa`s fault

IS RONAN CLARKE STILL OUT INJURED

It could have been worse... you might have had to listen to BigO or Gene Fitzpatrick

Im guessing that the enjoyment of events like these really depend on the result of the game. Like if Down had had Sam there last night, they could have served up camel dung washed down with dogpiss and I'm sure everyone would have enjoyed it.

I heard Armagh's event in 2002 at Citywest was out of this world, but I know from being there that 2003 was a damp squib altogether.

Still its out of order not treating sponsors like Kings.

I wouldn't normally respond to some tw*t who wasn't at the event but interestingly Kielty only had one funny line all night (which he probably picked up from a lesser known wag in the foyer who had said it earlier) namely that Down have now lost the same number of All-Irelands as Armagh have won (nice one, McCoy from Warrenpoint).

this is why most armagh fans fking hate down with a vengeance, we werent there yesterday but you still have to harp on about us

I would have thought moving Dan Gordon out to MF was the obvious change to make in the 2nd half when Cork were winning most every ball.

thought so myself, i think james acknowledged this also

plenty of tickets outside yesterday

great to see newry all decked out in red and black but pity that come monday it will be back to being a soccer town.

met 5 sams  and mulholland ( after a brave few pints of the blackstuff) on sunday and he even agreed that the down boys got a few lucky breaks, but hey he wasnt for offering a replay
he must have friends in low places because he was slumming it in the premium

guys might not be as difficult to get as people think at 140 yoyos for 2 a brave few guys will be sitting in the pub savouring the pints
after all the down aristocrats have already won it a few times and cork don`t travel

geezer --a legend spoke with honesty this evening
wonder will croke park take a rattle at him when he said i wonder what the bigwigs are thinking about

thought ref was brural
kildare should have had a penalty as well as apoint disallowed and thats without talking about coulter goal altho thought the kildare goal was overcarrying

who won the cruppen/whitecross game last night
