What are you hashing bout - sure weren't Armagh beaten as well?

Armagh were narrowly beaten and shouldn't have been, unlike the embarrassents that were Kildare and Galway to day.

I have followed Armagh through thick and thin, for close on 40 years, and have never run away to glory hunt in other counties when the going got tough.

By the way moderator, does inviting a contributor to "F..k off" constitute personal abuse?

Nobody goes to follow another county as a supporter when theirs is doing badly. We have all followed our counties for years... big deal.. just wondering what you have contributed.. like coached underage teams in Armagh, been on club committees, fund raised for GAA in the county? .. just wondering...

Fearon you are a w*nker of the highest order. While I have no great love for Armagh, I have the greatest respect for Big Joe and all that he has achieved on and off the field with club and county. Like many armchair experts I doubt you ever kicked a ball in anger, yet in your own head you could have been somebody.

Did the Armagh county board show any loyalty to Big Joe? Armagh would not have won an All Ireland without him, but their Johnny come lately supporters have very short memories.
Fearon is only happy when he has something to complain about. Hopefully he will do plenty of complaining in 2010 where Armagh are concerned.

If the mods want to take action they should start with Fearon. He has probably started more pointless, stupid threads than ziggy and makes as much sense. How many Linfield/IFA threads are there? Or how many Spurs are the best team in the world threads are there? Are there not rules regarding spamming?

That's a disgusting comment. You have contempt for a man that oversaw the best period in your county's history? Whatever else Joe K does, he owes Armagh absolutely nothing. Anyone who makes a comment like that doesn't deserve the enjoyment you got when Armagh were kings of Football.

Is it not a fact that the three people referred to were either a) approached about the job and turned the job down or b) made it very clear they were not interested, and instead all three are now assisting other counties? Preferring another county to your own is not my idea of loyalty I'm afraid, regardless of what you may have achieved in the past, and I am at least entitled to my opinion.

It so happens that the accommodation I had on Saturday night had internet access (free of course ;D), and having been on the receiving end of numerous warnings in the past for abusing others, I am now going to highlight every instance of personal abuse offered to me.

I am quite content to present my points on this board, be amenable to logical counter arguments and respect the views of others who differ from me, without resorting to personal abuse. >:(

Well it seems like black and white to me. You either manage your own county when you have th chance or you desert them and opt for another. There may be things or individuals  concerning your own county that you don't like, but hey that's life.

To say for years that you would never send another team out against your own sons, then all of a sudden do this, or prefer to be assistant manager of a neighbouring county rather than manage your own is inexcusable in my book.

If it had been 2002, the three people concerned would have been fighting each other for the Armagh job, but they ran away from the challenge of rebuilding a new team, or threw a hissy fit in some cases because they were overlooked the last time, or had to suffer the slight of actually undergoing an interview etc etc.

Also don't accuse me of promoting infighting, I hear the three people concerned promoted more than their fair share over the years.
Title: Re: Black day for Armagh exiles
Post by: mountainboii on February 08, 2010, 11:45:15 AM
On the off chance that you've been living in a cave and actually haven't a clue, here are the reasons the three are not involved:

McGeeney: Had a job with Kildare. Would've been a dick to walk out on them after they gave him his big break in 2007 when Armagh decided they didn't want the ticket he was on.
Kernan:  In 2007, while everyone was extremely appreciative of his efforts, most felt a change was needed as things had staled. There was no great appetite in the county to have him back so soon.
Grimley: Well, there's a 60 or 70 page thread on this matter here. That fact alone would suggest that things weren't as simple as him just not wanting the job.

Of course, you know this already and this thread is just a variant of your usual wind up pollution.
Title: Re: Black day for Armagh exiles
Post by: T Fearon on February 08, 2010, 11:57:11 AM
You have just vindicated my arguments. Staying with a currently more successful county  in peference to your own is not what the average Armagh fan expects from one of his por her icons. Similarly throwing hissy fits about being overlooked before, suffering the indignity of an interview etc is not showing loyalty to Armagh.

Joe's Galway and Kieran and Aidan's Kildare both hammered, and Grimley's Monaghan beaten at home as well.
I'd be happier being (very narrowly) beaten by Cork (the only team to beat Kerry last year) in Division 1, than to be beaten by Meath in Division 2.

Is it not a fact that the three people referred to were either a) approached about the job and turned the job down or b) made it very clear they were not interested, and instead all three are now assisting other counties? Preferring another county to your own is not my idea of loyalty I'm afraid, regardless of what you may have achieved in the past, and I am at least entitled to my opinion.

It so happens that the accommodation I had on Saturday night had internet access (free of course ;D), and having been on the receiving end of numerous warnings in the past for abusing others, I am now going to highlight every instance of personal abuse offered to me.

I am quite content to present my points on this board, be amenable to logical counter arguments and respect the views of others who differ from me, without resorting to personal abuse. >:(

What about those PMs you sent to myles?

You have some neck on you Tfearon - I will give you that.

It matters not where Armagh currently are in the pecking order. In my view whether they are number 1 or number 32, our iconic figures should have shown loyalty and taken up the challenge to manage the team instead of glory hunting i other counties

I was indeed Jinxy, seated a mere yard away from Sean Boylan, and had a pint in Ryans in Trimgate St after the game and indeed stayed overnight in Co Meath. You see I stay loyal to my county through thick and thin

Fair play Tony. i thought you would have gone to bed early to be up early for the Euro draw on sunday morning. New Years Resolution?

I agree with Tony that people are playing the man here. I think he makes interesting and provocative points about loyalty - which is, I believe, what discussion boards are all about ?

I too agree with Tony. Tony has loyalty for Glasgow Celtic football team
Tony has loyalty for the Belfast Telegraph as he writes to it every second day
Tony is loyal to complete the dots type competition
Tony is loyal to name dropping
Tony is loyal to oneupmanship
Tony is loyal to disloyalty
Tony is loyal to being argumentative
Tony is loyal to.........................Tony

They've both been in AI finals within past 4 years while Armagh haven't even had a sniff.  If the Tommy Muphy Cup was still going Armagh would be in it.

Fair enough, they aren't in the top division... & haven't been for some time! However i'd have them in the top 15. Considering the youth set up now in Armagh, their potential should be quite high also! - I'd also predict, that bar Kerry & Cork, there aren't too many other teams that would relish playing Armagh come Championship time!!

Lets just say I wasn't particularly disappointed to see Kildare, Galway and Monaghan all losing last weekend, and I will be equally not disappointed to see them all lose this weekend, or Monaghan and Galway draw with each other.

PS Interesting to see if the Galway manager and the Monaghan Assistant Manager shake hands with each other on Sunday. We'll see where the real pettiness lies then ;)

It is bollix to say that Kernan considers himself too good for Armagh. He was essentially sacked and many people think that he should not be there while his sons are on the panel and he himself sees the logic of this. Now you can say that he should do nothing on the intercounty scene for the next dozen years until this situation changes, but that is a bit harsh.

I think the people who are brave enough to fire personal abuse at Tony should be brave enough to identify themselves. It's pretty cowardly to use a pseudonym and call someone a w@nker. I totally disagree with his opinion in this instance but it makes for interesting reading all the same.
