Manager !!!!! what a joke Mccloskey is living in walter mitty land..he is a self titled coach who ‘borrows’ his methods and training from more qualified others..He took us for training and turned up in a pair of wellies every night..He is running round courting media people like yourself padraig to manipulate a job within the gaa.

Dear Mr Mohan
quite a bold statement regarding John McCloskey. Surely John’s record speaks for itself!!! Remember when armagh won their first all ireland teh size and physical condition of teh players was down to John. Surely every coach worth his salt r4esearches and borrows methods from all over teh place. i know John has attended coaching symposiums in the US and Australia!!! most would congratulate him on doing this “borrowing” ! As for the wellies quite right, then he was actually doing the training was he?
