Very elaborate article from the BBC...

I know we say that their GAA coverage is bad but this takes the biscuit.

As others have said, we wouldn't have won Sam without Geezer. Absolutely brilliant. I hope he gets involved with the new set-up, his drive and determination will be sorely missed if he doesn't. However, I'm not sure whether he will or not after the treatment of his good mate Paul Grimley.

he will have plenty of time to finish his auto-biography. there should be a few interesting chapters with nothing to do with football

I think Grimley got waht he deserved for apparently attempting to undermine Big Joe - Guess what he got undermined himself.  Mc Geeney represents the closure of a fantastic era for Armagh football.  But it was time for him to go, from a source in Armagh he became bigger than the team and the county and tha manager couldnt manage him last year - what hope for a new manager coming in.  He needs to step back for a bit and then test himself as a football manager.  He reminds me a little of Roy Keane in his determination.  Could he manage the same way? I hop he hasnt done it for a huff but I think hes bigger than that.  A class act and a decent honest footballer with great leadership skills.  One of the all time greats I believe. Others should follow - In Armagh Big Joe held onto too many too long - it happens in all counties.

Here's a thought - might Mc Geeney have agreed to come on board with Mc Donnell in some capacity ?

The young lads onthe panel will be praying he's not put in charge of fitness training! 

"OK Lads, give me 50 squats with a 100kg barbell!!"

unreal.

i copied the screen and tried to put it on here , but to no avail. Maybe some of the other technical more gifted posters will do the honour.

Typical coverage levels fromm the BBC.

Big story on the BBC website now, seems they got an interview with Oisin McConville

Great footballer
Great captain
Gent off the field
He will be a big loss to Armagh

In fairness Bensars, this is the proper 'Geezer Checks Out' page:

One of the Yahoos and one of the MSNs are the programme with the list of names. Not as popular as I would appear.
