Paddy O'Rourke named as new Armagh Manager

[naka]

por meeting club chairmen/managers monday night
backroom staff in place by then

[stew]

I toul ye all it was Stevies fault, somebody hang the fecker up by the ballix before he gets to decide who assists paddy, it probably would end up Pat Malloy and Gadaffi ffs!

Wonder will Stevie be part of the backroom team, his days on the team look numbered, very poor season this year.

He is young enough to bounce back benny, that said he seemed a bit greedy to me this year, shooting from anywhere and it just seemed he wasnt enjoying his football. Maybe the hiring of his mate POR will wake him up, he is one of our best ever players and i am sure he still has a lot of game in him.

[armaghniac]

if Stevie was rejuvenated and determined to make a go of it next year, even if it was one last blast, then this would greatly help Armagh and so PORs acceptance.

Is this 'meet the press' gig on Monday night as well?

[dowling]

The armagh county board can go and f**k themselves

I believe DuffleKing you will now find that the players were part of and supportive of this process. After having been on the Ger thread talking about how the Cork footballers sorted the CCB out I think you have to face your contradictions.

I don't see how anyone can claim the players were behind the process

[dowling]

Did the players not agree to a list of names as candidates? If they did does that not mean that they were part of the process through which ORourke was decided upon?

[ardmhachaabu]

No dowling.  That's not what happened according to people I know who aren't too far away from the set-up

[BroJolly]

Haven't been on for a while, but I read in Oisins column today that he has been impressed by the manner in which POR has gone about assembling his back room team??

Ok, well according to the people you know what was the process and are the players dissatisfied with it and Paddy's appointment or not.

[Downboy]

I see Saturday 20th March is Paddy's homecoming.
Should be an interesting night. I am sure you boys will at least let him survive until then...
