New Armagh Manager Announced

[T.G.M is back]

well done peter!!

[Sandy Hill]

, it looks like Mc Geeney is set to spit the dummy out of the pram -

I don't know how you figure this out!

[pintsofguinness]

Does peter McDonnell know the road to Lurgan? if so tell him not to bother as all the good players from there have retired

On a serious note i know nothing about that man, don't even know what he looks like. what type of guy is he?? Is he the "kick the door thru" guy or a quiet talk??

He's the type of manager who if need be will kick the door thru, but mostly a quiet man who likes talking to players individually to see what makes them 'tick'
When he speaks people listen!

If memory serves me well Cross played Mullaghbawn in a championship game at the bridge some years ago, at half time a couple of us were standing almost behind the bottom goal and we could hear him in the changing room!

Nothing wrong with shouting in the changing room ! It's an age old tactic in Armagh along with firing things.

[pintsofguinness]

NOthing wrong with it at all, just making the point he's got no trouble letting rip.

Lawn was always big and slow, but I don't know how many players he could carry to the games. Surely Quinn's coaches would be a better option!

I heard that Big Joe informed the County Board that if Grimely got the job he would instruct Hughie Morgan to pull his sponsorship.
Nice, if true.

It appears that he mightn't have gone away you know.

[umgolaarmagh]

I heard something along those lines as well

[pintsofguinness]

I thought Morgan was pulling out his sponsorship anyway.

I heard (rumours are flying) that Pearse Ogs players wont play for county, that if Grimley had got the job there were two sponsors from armagh going to throw money in?

You wouldnt know what to believe.

[orangeman]

Pints  -I'd say that was shite talk - players will play for whoever in most circumstances - it's not Mc Donnell's fault - he is the innocent party here -

[orangeman]

You're doing your best I see !!!!!!! LOL

[illdecide]

Heard over the weekend that he was bringing in Denis Hollywood and Martin McQuillan as his bakroom staff. Has anyone else heard anything??
