Any truth in the rumor that Cathal O'Rourke is taking over Queen's?

seen 30 sets of giant ear plugs being delivered into the dub during the week!

Maybe Aidan O'Rourke is the man?

Yes especially since his retirement from county duty (a fact not mentioned on here.)  He is a young bright hungry manager with already a good track record.  He had done well with queens and is highly regarded by anyone who has worked with him.  Who else is there really? donal murtagh? maybe. The only thing regarding AOR would be the situation with trying to manage his own brothers which could be difficult and the kernans because there might only be one or two there if he was the manager. Anyway lets all get behind the minors tomorrow ans sort this god forsaken mess out next week!

Have to say i like the o'rourke suggestion. team him up with marsden and maybe someone like Jim McCorry and let them at it. Bright, young and hungry.

Don't know donal murtagh myself but that htere isn't a big push for him from cross is quite telling, is it not?

Jim mc corry? Roman Abramovich wouldnt have the money to pay him.

here is hoping my source is credible then!

wouldnt be watching that unionist propaganda. cant reveal my source but its fairly reliable.

Inside info that Grimbo is back in the frame for the armagh job!

The fact that Riki Flutey is going on a lions tour as a possible starter in the test side tells you the large gulf in standard at the minute between the northern and southern hemisphere. Actually he is the 1st guy to play against and for the lions (presuming he does!)as he came on for the wellington lions on the NZ tour in 05.
SA to win 2-1 and thats being kind.

I may be badly off base on this, but I don't think Flutey can have played at senior level for NZ. He may have played against the lions for one of the provinces over there.

No, you're spot on - he did play for the NZ Maoiris so I'd imagine it was with them when he played against the Lions, never capped at Senior level, only underage as you said.

If he plays in this tour he'll  be the first to play both for and against the Lions according to this

great to see someone reads my posts!
shanks out d'arcy in
would i be right in saying that alot of this years lions are being picked not on 6N form but on club/province form? IMO this is due to the rising standard and interest in the Eoro cup

ur sister must be loaded! what do ya work at? loadsa dough!

Pizza Express in Victoria Centre

waited an hour for grub one nite there. wouldn be fussed on it.
Goodfellas on Kennedy way is the spot!

Who is the third choice scrum half at Munster after O'Leary and Stringer?

mike prendergast. Came on in ravenhill earlier in the year.
Devastated for TOL. Such bad luck. really am sick for him. Missing a euro cup tilt and a lions tour will be hard for the chap. But that wheat happens in sport. I would expect Dwayne Peel, Mike Blair or even perhaps Strings to slot in for him. Luckily for the lions, they are quite strong in the scrum 1/2 area.

Enquired re the JP leaving rumour and was told he hasn't left at all.

Getting a bit carried away lately on this thread. 

Maybe some of the Ogs boys could comment on this but I heard JP walked......
Any word on which of the O'Rourkes left? I heard it was Aidan but you never know.....

not this crap again...
