Paddy O'Rourke named as new Armagh Manager

[Mack the finger]

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

[Brick Tamlin]

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.

There will be plenty more lining up to take their places

A mess. Surely they'll tog out regardless ?

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.

I think youre taking this far too personal TacadoirArdMhacha

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

Armagh will now use this as their county song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlBiLNN1NhQ

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
