After five seasons in charge mcgeeney has a 14% win ratio in Ulster. If it wasn’t clear 4 years ago it has to be clear now. He couldn’t win anything with a very good Kildare team and he can’t win any meaningful games with this Armagh team which is without a doubt been underperforming given the talent it’s got. Clearly can’t cut it in management it’s time to go. Anyone who stands behind him and supports him now clearly doesn’t have the best interests of Armagh gaa at heart because this man is holding the county back.
Define "meaningful".
Surely every game in the league is meaningful up to the point when you've secured your position in current division, secured promotion or suffered relegation. All games in the Championship are meaningful, you're always striving to get to the next round in the hopes of eventually competing in a Provincial final. As for the qualifiers, lose & you're out, county football over until January or possibly December if the Ulster Council take the head staggers, fairly meaningful wouldn't you think?!?!
To be totally pedantic about it I would go as far as to say every match played is meaningful, challenge matches included. Players are constantly trying to improve their game, reduce mistakes, play for a place on the starting 15, hone their skills. Management are working on tactics, different methods of play, watching players, trying to ascertain their strengths & weaknesses, deciding on positions, giving players a chance to prove themselves & no doubt numerous other things I have failed to mention.
If matches were totally meaningless we'd struggle to get the players & management teams to give the dedication & commitment required year after year & supporters just wouldn't bother going to games.
It seems strange that supposedly meaningless matches generate so much debate on here, both positive & negative..........
Anyway next up is the draw in the morning & personally this next match will be just as meaningful as today's match, if not moreso, as we've now entered last chance saloon.
