Paul Grimley - Statement to Armagh fans

[ranch]

He is a manager trying to detract criticism from his players. Many others have done similar. Only time will tell if he has played the right cards.

Maybe. I wouldn't say the players have got much criticism though, it's mainly been aimed at management.

Amazing stuff. My first thought was that it was a piss take as well. Obv not Can't blame Paddy on this one.

Maybe you should have read the county forum before admin had a number of posts - rightly - deleted.

I was one of the few who liked Paddy to be honest. Made mistakes but was hindered in any attempts to make genuine change by others it seemed.

True, I did see those posts. Judging by their content it seemed they were probably made by a few lads who are off school revising for exams.

This is so reminiscent of the old days 20 years ago,where an atrocity occurred followed by a statement admitting responsibility a few days later.Only this statement is signed by Paul Grimley instead of P O'Neill.

Proposed statement from Armagh fans in response.

Dear Paul.We have read your statement with incredulity.The grammar is on a par with your tactical nous.While we accept your sincerity we are at a loss to understand the incapacity to devise Plans A,B,C and D simultaneously,in order that any one of these can be employed at any time and at short notice in response to the set of circumstances faced.We urge you and your coaching team to multi task in this regard.

As to your final point that County delegates will decide the way forward at year end ( which in our case will be early July),quite simply this is precisely the cause of our deepest concern and apprehension!

At least banty is not involved.  It seems to be an iconic statement on the situation with the game as is, Modern midget counties like Cavan who only have 5 all Ireland s are not supposed to beat Armagh. Www.catch.yourself.on.co.uk

He sounds like a big woman!

The brothers Grim.......more like the sisters Gay

This regime seems obsessed with openness & transparency (example - the fact Brendan Donaghy wasn't fit was released as a statement through social media on Saturday night). It's a fair change of pace as no County board has had more cloak & dagger moments  than Armagh's. His own shafting when Big Joe allegedly put the kibosh on his succession is obviously a huge factor. I'm neither surprised nor embarrassed by it, last Sunday is a different matter.

Christ Armagh are away to f**k if this is true!!

[DuffleKing]

Who is the county web administrator?

EDIT - I think it is embarrassing Benny.

[Ohtoohtobe]

That's mental. And the standard of punctuation and grammar makes Armagh County Board look stupid.

Mmmmm... you have to admire his sentiments but concentrate on the f**king job never mind creating sound bites for keyboard warriors and journalists to attach themselves to for an afternoon of fun and frivolity. 

[clarshack]

cant believe that statement was released. was better off saying nothing.
