Petulant Armagh only losers in this sorry mess

Congratulations to Armagh on making absolute fools of themselves. At this rate, you’d swear they were facing more than Donegal this Saturday.

Commiserations to them on their poor attempt at a media ban. Let’s be clear on this: this attempt at pulling the shutters down on the press has been a botch job.

If it truly were, Grimley and Peter McDonnell wouldn’t be talking to Armagh-based journalists. Grimley wouldn’t be speaking to Newstalk — he did so because he was asked to by their pundit and Armagh U21 selector Billy Joe Padden. Last Saturday’s man of the match Stefan Campbell wouldn’t have agreed to be interviewed by Sky Sports after beating Meath.
