A joke of a process. The appointment of Paddy o'Rourke only verifies how
incompetent the county board have become.

Getting vibes through that getting players to tog out might be por's biggest job
Why do you say that? I thought they approved this?

Not as clear cut as all that apparently

wellif thats the case then paddy will just do what he did when manager of Burren, go to their houses and drag them out of the bed by the ears to play.

The rest of the country couldn't care less but a few obsessives in Down and to a lesser extent Tyrone seem to be happy alright.

I don't think they really care, you can't make a silk purse from a pigs ear.

Read through the thread, there's a few that clearly do care.

Of course. but not all players at the top play for the sake of it. you have to convince them that they can win. i can see lads deciding the slog won't get them near an all ireland with this clown in charge and spend the year with their clubs - knowing he'll be booted at the end of it

It gets better or worse depending on what side you're on :

O'Rourke named as new Armagh boss 

Paddy O'Rourke has been confirmed as Orchard manager for three years
Former Down captain and manager Paddy O'Rourke has been appointed as the new Armagh senior football boss.

O'Rourke was dismissed from the Mourne job in 2006 but he makes a surprise return in neighbouring county Armagh as the successor to Peter McDonnell.

O'Rourke, who was captain of the Down team which won the All-Ireland title in 1991, has been handed a three-year term in the Orchard hotseat.

The former Burren club manager has yet to confirm his backroom team.

If he gets to do  a year that'll be the height of it

Like him or loath him he has  a lot more experience both playing and managerially than some of the names mentioned. I said all along that he shouldnt have taken a lot of the flak last year. The reality was that the down over the last couple of years hadnt the bottle for the fight
