Don't know about Brolly this week. I'm no fan of McGurn especially after the Irish flop in the last rugby world cup when the whole team looked burnt out. However it is still early days and I'd deserve judgement until I see how the boys last 70 mins on a hot Clones Sunday.

Jarleth Burns was on the money this week though.

Was Brolly's article not 6 years too late?

Haven't seen this article, but I have to say I'm a bit bemused by some of the McGurn bashing lately. If he's there simply as a strength and conditioning coach, then he's doing a solid job. Individually our players look fine, with several in appreciably better shape than ever before. Armagh's current problems are in the areas of talent and tactics, and as a s&c coach I wouldn't have thought McGurn is in a position to do much about these deficiencies. An easy, high profile, target.

You say he is an easy target, why wouldnt he be - Armagh are the only county with a full time strength coach on a full time salary!... he has never played or coached GAA at any level YET he is now taking ball drills too?! It's not McGurn I blame, it's O'Rourke. Armaghs tactics were awful defensive v Kerry, maybe McGurn is doing tactics too? Does O'Rourke do anything?
Look at Kevin Walsh in Sligo and Jim McGuinness in Donegal... both are managing, coaching and doing all the weights with their teams. Sligo and Donegal are both going rightly. Maybe county boards should look for managers who can actually do things for their team and not high proflile ex county players who dont seem to be able to do anything!

If that's the case, then there are a number of people you'd have to ask questions of before you get to McGurn.

Why should we pay double, because we live in the US?  You're a fool.

Rather strangely I have only recently started reading GL and I think it's excellent. My main problem is it's availability. I travel for work and can rarely find it in main retail outlets especially across Belfast, Antrim and Down.
The fact that GL is still going strong shows how they have hit the mark and are totally inside the heads of the average Ulster gael.

This was posted a while ago I know but Centra do sell the GL - especially the one across the road from the bot.

The Centra at St Georges Market sell it as well.

anyone able to post Brolly's article from last friday. It was brilliant

Coming out on the Thursday suits better. Good to hear too that there'll be a greater club focus.

Also glad to hear that sickener Hallion has been laid off.
