To be fair the best way of comparing Down's new manager with John Rafferty would be be looking at how they did with the club they both managed, in which case, it would seem Armagh would be getting the better end of the bargain with Rafferty.

Irish News today has the players presenting 5 options - Peter Rafferty, Jim McConville, John Rafferty, Brian McAlinden and Paddy O'Rourke. At least two of those have the look of joke candidates. It seems as though the Irish News are continuing their policy of printing complete nonsense in relation to this story. I find it hard to believe that the players presenting any such list.

Players wouldn't nominate paddy o'rourke? no way

[souljaboy]

I can't see any way that the players would nominate Jim McConville ahead of Donal Murtagh or Paddy O'Rourke over Pete McGrath.

Utube says this is not available in my Country!!
Is it the leak about O'Rourke?

[TacadoirArdMhacha]

I honestly feel like saying I'm not going to go to matches this year over the way this sordid affair has been handled and concluded. I'm not going to go that far because I know I wouldn't stick to it but I'm angered and disgusted at this announcement.

sorry.....but this is buckin hilarious.

[stew]

I am sick over this, f**king sick to my stomach, I'm away to get polaxed, I had planned to come home to watch them next year for the first round championship match and if by some miracle they were still involved in August i would have went again, no way now. I wont go again until O'Rourke is gone.

So McGrath was available but instead let him go and took O'Rourke.  The mind boggles.

Paddy is not a bad fella at all, we have a mutual friend and I have met him quite a few times, not the least of which was AIF day in 02 but he has no business managing Armagh.

Gutted, end of.
