Armagh Club football & hurling

cheers pints

[qub la la la]

i notice that from the panel listed, to my knowledge there is no players listed who are eligible for the u21 team this year whi is also run in the early part of the year. from this i would imagine that the door for the likes of k o'rourke, etc is still open and these lads will join the panel if and when armagh's interest in the u21 championships is finished

Stefan Forker is def eligible for U21, Michael O'Rourke is as well I think.

michael o'rourke captained the u21s the season before last in his last year as an under 21. think your correct on forker though according to the irish news today.

on the ammalamated teams, have played against cavanakill gaels before (newtown and beleek) so i presume the cavanakill emmets would also include players from dorsey emmets. still, when we played them they were still useless. no offence intended.

And paul kelly wasnt by-passed for the u21 job, it was never a case of mcdonnell vacating the post in the first place. kelly was actually looking to be involved with the minors again to my knowledge.... mcshane had other ideas and has landed the job.

Mr M Magill from Co Down. £120 a week + expenses. Has he 2 all-irelands or just 1?

It's great to have the championship fixtures sorted out and published in January. It makes team preparation easier and allows lads to book holidays.

Just because dates have been set doesnt mean games will be played then, going on previous years

That's what I heard rumoured but was surprised by it.  Thanks for confirming.  I wonder what the connection was to bring him from Warrenpoint to Derrymacash?

From memory, I think he has one All Ireland, not sure about 2, but I stand to be corrected.  I remember he had to stop playing due to a serious head injury, he was told that one more heavy knock to the head could kill him. 

Don't know what prior managerial experience he has, maybe just cutting his teeth with the Tones.

You would have thought they would have learned their lesson last year with a rookie manager. But i suppose you have to start somewhere. A member of the tones committee told me 2 weeks ago before M Magill was appointed that they would never go down the road of paying anyone to manage their club

[Uladh]

Magill managed his own club - warrenpoint - last year. he was one all ireland from 94, when he won mom in the final

That dig in the head magill took must have been very serious because he has taken the tones job I hear he has started special diets and stuff with the lads and all. But this could be shite as lurgan is a sesspit for rumours.

Well there was a slight difference. We came straight back up with almost a perfect record, the Tones almost got relegated to div 3 and only stayed up with the skin of their bell ends.

Anyhow you lot seem to enjoy that div as you have permanent residence in it now
