Aoise best post on here in a long time. Wonder if anyone can answer your questions.

The county board are rotten to the core every single one of them! They should all be put out and a new board elected DEMOCRATICALLY! They don't seem to care about Armagh football and they definetl don't listen to what the genuine supporter thinks!

Well first thing is POR must go! Total shambles of a management team!
Now to think about who to bring in.
I would love Geezer, I think the boys would do anything for him and he'd really take this team places, but I realise it may not happen but I feel a huge effort should be made to get him in after this years championship ends. If not possible there are a number of possibilites who could go in together or on there own.
Paul Grimley, Aidan O'Rourke, Tony McEntee would be the ones who I would be most enthusiastic about and I feel either one or a combination of two of them would do a very good job.
After this there are people like Peter Rafferty who could do a good job.

1. Hearty
2. Mallon
3. Donaghy
4. Dyas
5. Kernan
6. McKeever
7. Duffy
8. Toner
9. Lavery
10. Vernon
11. McDonnell
12. Mackin
13. Jamie
14. Padden
15. O'Rourke

Thats the team that will start tomorrow

Yellowcard u are spot on!

First of all I recognise it wont happen before this season ends but it MUST happen after! Second Paddy O'Rourke is a dud manager and that is recognised by the vast majority of Armagh supporters who were in Clones. Next I suggest u worry about ur own team and leave us to worry about Armagh. Lastly there will be problems in getting McGeeney, but nothing is impossible if you try hard enough!

Why do I need to catch a grip. Contracts in Gaelic football aren't worth the paper there written on managers and county boards can do what they like. True or not?

Boys catch a grip theres no such thing as a contract really managers can leave when they want and be sacked when the county board decides so.

To be fair Kildare are a very limited team in my opinion. They have no Jamie Clarke in there forward line or a player like Ciaran Mc'keever in their defence. He has done wonders with that panel of players with Kildare. Plus and this is the main point the players in Armagh would jump through hopes to get him in. They would do anything. There is so much respect there. Do you think they would do the same for O'Rourke.
Finally I am realistic that McGeeney may not happen but it should be vigoursly pursued. Anyway there are plenty of other Armagh men who could do a much better job and are far more astute than Paddy "clueless" O'Rourke.

For those who ever backed O'Rourke yesterday certainly showed yous up. Brennan totally showed him up on the line with his decisions.
How did Vincie Martin start. Hes slow useless and should be nowhere near the team and then getting him to mark Lynch. Is O'Rourke on a different planet? Lynch is a flying machine was always going to destroy him. Then he leaves him on him  to he gets injured. Brennan switched Brian Og after 10 mins. Next thing yes he was right to try and play the same way against down but after 10 15 mins a blind man could see we were having serious problems in the full back line especially with eoin bradley. He had to be double marked i.e a sweeper which we played to beat them last year. A gud manager has to be able to switch the gameplan if its not working. I have seen Mickey Harte do it so many times if his full back line getting destroyed he changes it and will bring joe mcmahon or someone back in front of them.  These games are won by small thing on the field and by decisions made on the line. Our problem is we have the weakest line probably in the country. Such a joke. Joe Brolly summed it up exactly "Paddy O'Rourke is just a bad manager."
Why did our county board employ this tube and why do they continue to employ him!
Everything and I mean every resource and every gaa person in the county should be working from now on getting McGeeney into the Armagh job for next year!!!!!!

So do no County Board Delegates have the decency to come on here and explain to us why we have this shambles of a mangement in charge?

Did any of yous read the Examiner this evening? Basically says our line doesnt have a clue! Someone on this board has to be on the County Board. Is there nothing that can be done to end this farce! It is completely destroyin this group of players! Would ask any county board members to ask themselves why are they on the County Board? Is it not for the benefit and further development of Armagh football! If so will yous please start to listen to the people of Armagh who loyally come and support our teams and get rid of these jokers! Do it for the sake of Armagh football!!!

There should be a barrage of phonecalls, txts letters sent to the Irish News calling for POR Resignation!!

Shocking! Thats what that was. Every decision from team selection to substitutions to the game plan POR gets totally wrong! Complete joke that hes in charge. Conceeding 1 -20. We ended up with 4 midfielders on the pitch just standing in a line. I don't know what goes through their heads. Some very poor performances from some of the players Mcevoy, Finn mo, Toner, Vernon, Watters, Murtagh. How did aron kernan not start same with hearty? So many things i could list. Totally depressed that we have to endure this management team!!!
