5 days to go:Managerial coincidence

and we're off.....
the first of many posts in a build up to the big game on Sunday.

Alot will be made of the two managers this week

Laois manager Justin McNulty has already came out and spoke glowingly about his fellow Armagh comrade.


“Aidan is a meticulous planner, tactically astute, a fantastic motivator and his attention to detail is phenomenal.”

Do not be fooled this pure and utter tripe. Public tripe.

and...

expect AOR to throw some back at Justin McNulty over the next few days too.

Band of Brothers
Having soldiered together in the same defence that brought Armagh to the pinnacle. These guys are competitors and excellent at taking the attention away from their teams and talking their own chances down.


Actually the more compliments they give in public about each other, the more deep down they really want to win. 

They made it at the top of the game together as team-mates. They are Students of the game.  They know exactly what they are doing.

So, Can we can call it even stevens then?.....does one former Armagh comrade hold the advantage over another? 

I, personally think, McNulty has an advantage, he's been working with his squad longer, they're developmentally further down the line than AOR is with our squad and vitally this is not his first championship game, he's had a chance to learn from his mistakes.

On the flipside, AOR with his brother on the backroom team will be ultra alert and full of adrenaline on the day. 



But, no matter how well they know each other it's about how well they know their players, thats where the game will be won or lost come sunday.

So please be some what immune to the tripe the papers print.
