Remember back to when McGeeney drafted in young Courtney to play goalkeeper (that was during the time when the poison chalice in Armagh stood between the posts)- he was coming out the field with the ball, providing overlaps etc. Armagh were branded a joke; McGeeney lambasted as a fool. Supporters up in arms with this tactic. Brolly (as always) had a right go.
The previous orchard forum (and the media) ensured 'the experiment' was cast aside pretty quickly by Geezer. I remember it well, as i thought what Courtney was doing was class and something different.
Move on 4 to 5 years and now we have Beggan with an All-Star (with his trademark wandering out the field) and Morgan now also at it. I don't hear a single negative word muttered about it.
