Has Johnny Mac finished managing up north ? I know he was part time (also works as a taxi driver in Dublin). Best of luck to him in Faroe Islands, good football man unlucky at Pats (in my humble opinion)

He was Newry City manager alright but not anymore.

**Dunny** · 28/04/2010, 6:54 PM

Aye they re-instated the manager he took over from.

He used to work in the Science labs there when I was a student. You'd occasionally see him take in superleague games, don't know if he ever found any Pats stars there, not in the mudbaths we played in.
