I thought the post-match remarks by POR were aimed at trying to pacify the Down supporters after his defection to Armagh. He would have been better off saying nothing since he is now employed by Armagh county board. Instead he gave a glimpse of his deep-rooted feelings.

It would also call into question his 100% desire to win this game. At least Geezer had the good sense to refrain from making media comments in the build up to and the aftermath of the Armagh v Kildare game.   

Based on what?

Based on a natural affinity towards the county that you served as player and manager for so long. Could you honestly say that you would derive any satisfaction from beating the club or county team that you are attached to. This was always going to be a difficult game for POR in that sense and is the reason why I believe that ALL counties should be prevented from appointing outside men.

O'Rourke didn't "defect" to Armagh. He was sacked by Down, defection suggests that he left the post in his native county to take up a similar post in another county.

What he said would be akin to Mark Hughes, when he was manager of Man City, saying he was "pleased for Man Utd and his old boss Fergie", after a Manchester derby defeat.

As a previous poster said he wouldhave been better off saying nothing at all, just like Ronan Keating advocates

What did you want him to say , "that shower that just beat us are a shower of good for nothin cnuts"?

Its got to a new level when you're upset about the emotions of the Armagh manager

Would Paddy O'Rourke not have said that when he was playing for or managing Down when Armagh beat them?
;D ;D ;D

Thats paranoia talking.

Firstly you have no idea as to the level his desire. You may have a percieved idea at what you think his mindset may have been, however as far as we have been lead to believe you have not won any physic competitions lately.

In regards to Managers being selected from within a particular county, it is a different arguement altogher. Thankfully your more successful neighbours  in Down and Tyrone dont have that problem and there would be quite a list of willing partipants if a the oppurtunity arose. However i can understand when Counties go outside of their own boundries to attract a higher calibre individual to bring a better skillset to the position.

Was O'Rourke also pleased for Mc Ivor (Derry) and Tally (Tyrone) the real tacticians behind the current Down team?

Whatever about McIvor, Tally is a lot of things but he ain't no tactician.

No idea. You seem to be the resident mind reader.  Also, since when have you had access to the Down management team meetings ?

Back page if Irish News today answers all those mourne folk who obviously got their facts wrong about M Clarke injury. Both Marty and James have said injury was not caused by McKeever. Wonder will there be any apologies forthcoming?
I won't defend some of Ciaran's activities on Sat night when if he had played football he would have served Armagh's cause better. However some of the abuse from some people here has been totally over the top!

Aye right....do you really think James and Marty are going to come out in the national press and say...."Yep....it was McKeever's fault"
