Note the 6 county bandwagon tricolour

I am so unwound.
Do you need some help?


Maybe I'll just practice whistling my esses for a while.

 
Sounds like a North Korean attempt to wind up the South Koreans.

Why are ye all so wound up by Bryan McF?

Sounds like worthless titillating celeb gossip tv  about yet another emotionally immature malfunctioning individual who can barely string a coherent sentence.

I was with my kids once on a plane that looked likely enough to crash on its 3rd attempt to land in a hurricane, they woke me up just in time to witness the 3rd attempt. On approach, just some seconds before the  wheels would make contact, it was being blown around like a paper plane. I could have sworn I saw the end of the wing scrape the runway before the plane took an upward dive again.

I thought  'féck that was close   and to think I could have wasted the last 2 hours of living contact, having a snooze'.

I had the radio on while the players were parading around behind the band. Micheál Ó M. used the opportunity to introduce each player as if they were going into ring for Olympic gold, an outstanding exciting snip of broadcasting build-up prior to throw in.
On TV, while the players were parading, the panel were just chatting to each other.

My belief is based on common sense.
2 weeks ago The Monaghan job was Banty's job whether or not PG was on board or not. The Monaghan CB said as much if I remember.
He didn't need PG to get the job or hold on to it. 

You are waffling around in the face of known factual statements.

Whether the job was Bantys or not is totally irrelevant.

Banty said he he was taking 2 weeks off to decide whether he would do it or not.

'Seamus McEnaney is to take another two weeks to decide whether he wants to commit to another year in charge of Monaghan'.

Banty has stated that he wouldn't have decided in the affirmative, if he did not have something new to throw into the mix.

"If I was going to continue, I knew I would need something different. The team needed something different and Paul Grimley will bring that difference."

Waffling? Factual statements?


The dogs in the street knew Banty was always staying on.


Whether Grimley or whoever came in or not made no difference to that - the only two things for certain were that
1. Banty was staying
2. There would be some change to the backroom team

Uninformed and unsupported waffle.

That must be the name, thanks.
I never heard him before.

You've never heard of David Gray...Really

I have heard of the name but not heard the man and his music.
I don't think much past the Grateful Dead.

I thought DG was very good last night.
A wee bit too much jerking around but nevertheless sound.

That must be the name, thanks.

There were a few OWCers that came on as guests to an english language Polish football forum to ask about safety.
The members said that Poles are friendly and amiable but like anywhere watch out for the odd maniac swinging an axe.

I don't think the guests quite grasped the black humour.

It was on the tv here but I only listened to the Cowen interview.
He sounds a decent enough man but one that you'd expect to find acting as the mayor of Tullamore not quite the leader of our great country.

What was the name of the group (not the Corr lady) who played live?, they sounded quite good.

I can't see that even being discussed at a CB level - as for 'permission' I doubt that he ever asked!

Maybe not with the CB but discussions were held with someone on the CB, Connolly?

as for 'permission' I doubt that he ever asked!

Why do you doubt that?
Is Banty going to cover the considerable expenses?
Permission or a nod in his direction  or a secret handshake to indicate that that he could invite Grimley aboard.

There is no way Banty's return was based on PG, I don't believe that for a minute.

What is your belief based on?
The trail of evidence points elsewhere
Why do think  Banty wanted 2 weeks before he would confirm to staying another year.
I seriously doubt that Banty had a plan B to fall back on.

Matt, if Paul wanted to show the county board up he couldn't have done a worse job! Just look at the reaction of the posters on here, all of whom are fanatical Armagh supporters and most of them have placed on record their dislike of the CB and Paul has them actually defending the CB's stance! I'm sorry but I don't buy into this tight schedule crap.....Paul is one of the most sought after coaches in the north if not all of Ireland, as AFS says he had all the cards, he could've told Banty that he wanted another TWO weeks (yes just two) to allow the processes to have been completed. This smacks of him trying to shaft the county board and you'll find that in a lot of supporters eyes it has backfired!
It's unfair to say that if Paul read this he'll have decided he was right looking at posters reactions, IF he was to look at this thread he'll see that a lot of supporters believed that he was the right/only man for the job and feel let down by him. He portrays himself (and I believe him to be) a passionate Armagh man, why do this on so many people who share that outlook? It's not just the County Board he has shafted.

Banty's 2 week deadline was between himself and the Monaghan CB.
The CB gave him full permission to pursue Grimley
It is Banty's prerogative to fix his own deadline just as it is his matter to firmly stick to the time period.

Maybe PG had a strong hand, but with his knowledge of the field (Grimley and Armagh CB,  Banty played the winning hand in order to get his man,

SF don't have the constitutional  issue to distract from their socialist politics down south. That and the fact they say "Never,Never,Never" more than big Ian ever did . Has lead voters to see through them.

The thread question is
Are SF losing ground?
You are assuming Sinn Fein are losing ground

FWIW the latest poll in the South suggest they are gaining ground, even allowing for a margin of error.
