Armagh have confirmed that Michael Johnson has been dismissed as manager of the Orchard County senior hurling team.

The St John's, Belfast clubman was hit with a 48-week touchline ban earlier this week for verbally abusing an official during a club game, and it was originally mis-reported that he would be staying on at the Orchard helm.

County secretary Paddy Nugent has clarified that hurling board chairman Paul Kelly will stay on as acting manager, with John Crossley as trainer.

Nugent also rejected Tuesday's media reports that Armagh knew their new manager was facing a ban, insisting: "As soon as we heard of this suspension, we told him that he would no longer be involved."

Bad news after the progress of the Lennon reign.

Not much choice for the county board over Johnson to be fair.

where we go now is anyone's guess

ALthough his background is football, Kelly should do for the short-term... Gets things done.

Kelly's not an option unless its in an overseeing capacity - which he was in already. He doesn't know hurling and we need someone capable of organising quality training sessions, structuring a team and coaching the players

It just sounded very like the gospel according to Sean ( John ) - no surprise there with you being so starry eyed about the landscape there.

Now now - enough of the insults - if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen.

You should take a wee rest.

You could always go on strike.

Thats always my reaction when morons who know nothing about the subject matter try to link to another thread, about which they know nothing either.

orangeman · February 25, 2009, 05:17:32 PM

I must go and see Sean - spend 2 hours with him and you seem to know everything. Hope it works. Hope I don't get all starry eyed at the end of it. I hate that starry eyes bit. It's so childish.
