Nonsense. Its Bull who is taking over. Putting all his GAA knowledge to useAny truth that Geezer has walked and is being replaced by Jim McGuinness and @Admin1 until the end of the year?

Armagh for Sam so. Lump it on
Absolute BS. Chinese whispers does my head in.
Anyhow, if Rian is injured, I think a period of conditioning will do him good. Hasn't been at it with club or county since his break to the US.
its a hand injury
Again wrong. Maybe think about the lower half of the body
Iv heard 3 different injuries for Rian and heard he walked then heard he fell out with management and went on the drink and they dropped him and have said injury as excuse , it's all rumours but even so it's not good because there is never smoke without fire and this noise is never good

Quad injury is what I heard. Also heard he’s fell out with management and walked. Then again also heard Elvis is alive and well.Again wrong. Maybe think about the lower half of the body

Same when Kieran was in Kildare. Created an environment that players really appreciated and felt it brought out the best of them. Critics pointed to the relative lack of success/trophies during his tenure-but Kildare has steadily regressed since he left . Players definitely buy in to what he brings
At the same time, and apologies for contributing to the overall negative tone of current discussion-I would really worry about the effects of relegation. Our overall progress over the years has not so much been slow and steady, but more akin to a drunk staggering home on a Saturday night. its been a real grind for some of our older panel members that have been around for a while. A drop to a second division facing another period of time in dog fights seeking promotion-that prospect might be a tough sell to a few of our senior players who are 31, 32+
I have heard he is not happy with his role in the team, which I can well believe

The way we play currently it wouldn't really matter if Rian was out, sure anyone can hand pass the ball about the place and I mean that in all honesty. He, nor none of the players really have made any sort of an impact, how could they? (possible exceptions being Ethan and Murnin).

I think there are two possibilities here.
1. There is a serious level of discontent in the team and some players have walked because they don't want to play the type of football we have seen this year. Particularly for someone like Rian, who likes to play with a freedom and flair, this would be incredibly frustrating. Lauded as one of the best players in the country and having to buy in to a team effort which makes him look downright average, who could blame him for being pissed off and walking.
2. The whole thing has been orchestrated by Geezer to throw the cheating midgets off. All is well in the camp and we will come out on Sunday with a brand new ultra attacking game plan with a water tight defence. We beat the cheaters 4-19 to 0-01 with their only score coming by way of a last minute penalty.
Either one would probably be better than the truth in fairness.
3. Rian has picked up a knock and is out for Sunday and we go out and play that turgid shite and get bate by 2 points with Monaghan hammering a mix of Mayo's over 40s.

I much preferred when nothing was being leaked from the squad, negative or positive, I hate 3rd hand information via Chinese whispers. For those reporting these rumours from so called reliable sources I doubt they said "I'm telling you this so you can get straight on to social media to make sure it's out there & everyone knows", more likely you were told in confidence & asked to keep it to yourself so at least we all now know who not to trust with any secrets or private information.
Have to say that this most recent splurge of slurry spreading is seriously disappointing. The negative and ignorant comments made by some people over the past few weeks would encourage most reasonable people to simply give this forum a pass…highlighted by the recent moronic comment questioning the courage of our players. Yes…OUR players!
The caliber of debate seems to have degraded to such a degree that it would hardly be acceptable in a local lodge of the DUP.
This team and this management is perfectly capable of giving us glorious and happy days in the months ahead, perhaps starting this coming Sunday, so lets rock and roll up to Omagh and give some hearty gulders in support. All things are still possible!

A balanced post there Pablo. I agree with you, it is imperative that we stay in division 1 for next season, by our own means would be great and failing that I will gladly accept Co Mayo knocking at our door and giving us the gift of safety by taking points off Monaghan.
If we go down then we go down with Donegal. Add in that Cavan and Fermanagh could play out a draw this weekend to both book promotion to Division 2 or Down go up with either of them. 4 Ulster teams in division 2 next year is a nailed on cert at this stage and it would lead to another season of utter dross being played out. We have to stay up, the next 4 to 5 years of Armagh football could depend on us staying up, that is not an exaggeration. I'd fear for that Armagh squad if they get relegated. So by any means possible we have to stay up.
I think we will all park the debate on the quality of what we watch or want to watch come Sunday and beyond, if it's 15 behind the ball then so be it. It will be 15 Armagh men and subs and that's all that matters for this game. Come on Armagh
