DAVID "THATS NOT EVEN FUNNY"
tHE COUNTY BOARD NEED TO BE SENSIBLE AND CONSIDER THEIR OPTIONS,WHAT WE NEED IS A 3 YEAR PLAN WITH STRUCTURES IN PLACE TO INTEGRATE THE OLD WITH THE NEW, PETER MC DONNELL OR MG GEENEY AND GRIMLEY ARE THE BEST OPTIONS AVAILABLE

5times  yes he was manager in 90 and 91

tevez peter mc donald has more credibilty than joh rafferty, he won an ulster with errigal ciaran and with this years  armagh under21s and if memory serves me right had o rourkes shot gone in the other side of the post against cork may have won an all ireland.
my gut feeling is geezer, marsden assisting  grimley

the rooneys were told they would not be allowed to sign for another Down club, as they are living on the Millvale road the Bosco could not object to the transfer

john rafferty is not the man. whilst I agree with rhf about the role of senior players in this is wrong we should realise that these players have sweated blood for the cause for the past 10 years .They must be desperate te get another crack at SAM to undermine Joe in such a way.
We can sit here and pontificate about the rights and wrongs of Joe but he always did his best for Armagh as have the players 
My only worry is that although PG should get his chance will he be too friendly with the squad ( have seen him drinking with them on a few occasions), this could make hard decisions difficult in the heat of battle. leaders should not socialise with footsoldiers

also heard joe is staying, hopefully will have the good sense to make up with PG

Patdaly 1-6 are probably on the nail, I think Oisin will quit, would love to see Paul and Enda stay with Geezer as an assistant manager. Mckeever has only really played  in fits and starts and no longer contributes scores like the old days, rem the drawn game against tyrone in 2002

have underfloor heating throughout house, had majoe teething problems, first year is expensive if new house, drying out etc, make sure you commission it after about 6 months to get a balance throughout the rooms, but otherwise am happy with it

i think the fact that there was a "gentleman`s agreement" for Joe to step down and let Paul take the reigns which was reneged on by Joe mightnt be too far off.

orangeman you are right re hearty but the bottom line is that as a team we are too defensive, we only scored 9 scores in both games which are not enough to win champioship games

Balladmaker well said, I do hope that Joe does not overstay his time a la pete mc grath, my feeling is that we do have some super young players coming through, dyas, toal vernon, lavery, as well as clarke, mallon , mallon, and aaron. my hope is that mc grane stays as captain and enda stays( thought he was excellent this year )as well as bellew.
if so with grimley and geezer taking over i wouldnt be too down hearted

was surprised philly didnt come on considering he warmed up for about 30 mins.

cant argue with the sentiment that armagh management were too conservative yesterday, but I feel that if grimley and mc geeney were to come on board as a management duo, alittle tinkering might allow us to move forward again, clarke and mallon will benefit from a year out of football to treat their injuries, dyas has the makings of a good player as has lavery, the big decisions that have to be made are who is to play in the half forward line, mor should stay but stephen and paddy are not good enough and dont carry a scoring threat, oisin also has lost his ability to score therefore forker should get his chance in the league as should toal , I also feel that aaron should move forward and allow dyas to take his place,
am disappointed but feel that we are not that far away

mackers I expect Mallon and Clarke to get a run out on sunday before mackin

lisdun , jackise lynch would hope to have a stormer on saturday rather than sunday
