Armagh Club football & hurling

[full back]

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.

Exactly....a NA man would almost be the same as a neutral...plus he will have the best interests of the county at heart.

Nonsense

Are you saying that if the next manager isnt from NA he wont have the best interests of the county at heart?

[illdecide]

Jim is from Carrickcruppin not a bad ref but will take no slabbering ( so that could be a problem for you's ). Genuinely not the worst and there are plenty of bad ones. 

Well if he listens to mouths slabbering from the supporters then he's the bigger fool as there'll be none from the team or management nor has there been any all year...so wind it in and stop slabbering about stuff you know nothing about

[thewanderer]

Dont kid yourself i have experienced it at first hand for many years as a player, coach and supporter. Bumpy may have have gone but there are plenty of yaps still on the pitch. possibly one could be you or is it from the bench? Correct about the supporters ok, can even hear you yapping through the board as normal.

Eh...i mean as opposed to an outside manager who would only be in for the £££s

He doesnt have to be a North Armagh man to have the best interests of the county at heart

Why do you see a division with North Armagh & the rest of the county?

[Winnie Peg]

I have heard from a very good source that the next Armagh manager will be Aiden O'Rourke with Bernie Murray as his assistant.

I'm not going to get into a silly argument with you about this, i know the Clans have been known for doing a bit of slabbering over the years but it's not there now (from the team & management) you can name players all you like (i'd prefer u didn't) but you don't know me and you don't know if i play or not so sounds like your the one doing the slabbering. Like i say if there are supporters slabbering (and i know they do) don't blame that on the players

P.S. you must be some footballer yourself...

FFS where do people hear these fairy tales

Armagh football is dominated by South Armagh teams. To avoid conflicts of interest/perceived favourtism it makes sense that the manager does not come from this area.


If however, the stand out candidate is from this area then he surely should be made manager.

This negates what you previously stated

Not really. I said if there is a stand out candidate then he should be made manager.

However if there where 2 managers equal in skill and experience, i think the NA manager should get the nod for the reasons i have highlighted previously.

We are going around in circles here

You said "a NA man would almost be the same as a neutral...plus he will have the best interests of the county at heart."

I said that statement is nonsense

Who cares where he is from?

If you are the county manager, naturally you will have the best interests at heart

Every county manager wants to be successful, every supporter should want the same and not bringing up what part of the county you should be from

I just feel that a local man would have more passion for the job than an 'outsider'.

If you disagree with this then fair enough, and I would agree that if there is no one within the county who is able to do the job then an outsider may be a viable option.

An outsider has worked for Antrim & Wicklow, but we should have enough talent within our own county to take on the best in Ireland.

[full back]

I do agree with you fred that an man from inside the county would be the best option, but I disagree that a NA man would be any better than a man from anywhere else within the county

With this fiasco regarding Mc Donnell perhaps it isnt just the management team that needs to be changed.
So far, the CB havent exactly covered themselves in glory

[robertemmet]

Would John rafferty not be in the running for the Armagh senior job.
