Ulster Championship 2024
- Thread starter ragingbull
- Start date
They’ll be more up for it and are a better championship team so are more likely to turn up on the day. I don’t think we’re in a position get carried away and think we’ll stroll past them, today would’ve been tight if it weren’t for those gifted goals and Fermanagh missing a near empty net. Only 11 points with the players we had starting against that team is brutal. A top team like Derry or Dublin would’ve scored closer to 20 with half a team out.

We will hammer Down aswell. Don't buy this whole crap they will be bang up for it. They are shocking.

More than likely in Clones.
Fermanagh are not great but have to say we where excellent, especially in the first half, kick way more ball in and pushed up for all kick outs and applied serious pressure, want us to do that no matter what the opposition, think paddy Burns was excellent again as was grugan and Crealy, think jarly og named at 15 but moving out to midfield and switching with Rian O'Neill every now and then worked well, think we dropped off the second half but think that was always gonna happen,

Good to see how clinical we were with the goals , the third goal was very satisfying as we butchered numerous of chances like that last year , some poor wides but conditions were decepitely harsh , would give the benefit of the doubt that in the 2nd half we took the foot off the gas , good to see Rian and Oisin get fair runs outs , would say the same team to start against the horrible red and black slabbers , looks like injury free as well , all positive .

The major positive I’d take from that game was the performance in the half back line of Ciaran Mackin. I think he’s far better suited playing there than midfield.
He has far more space to use his pace to drive forward. Thought he added a lot of impetus to the attack when things were looking fairly laboured. Also scored 2 points. I think it also goves us the opportunity to play the likes of roan or Oisin in midfield
It’s strange how an injury to an established player like Greg can perhaps change the lineup in a positive manner and it will be interesting to see team selection now for the semi final.

good win today, thought we played gr8 positive football 1st 20-25 mins. Game was over as a contest when 2nd goal went in. We never had to get out of 3rd gear thereafter. Nice & clinical for the goals. Fermanagh are a very poor side. I liked the look of Rian in the middle with Mackin at CHB. If McCabe gets back I’d also have him in the hb line. Thought Jarly Og tried really hard, Burns, Grugan & soupy also. Conaty had an off day, it happens, though Turbitt for me underwhelmed again, he seems to always come off second best in 50/50 physical tussles. Good to see Oisin get a good run. Onwards to Down ….
Someone suggested 5pm throw in on Twitter?

Armagh forwards aren't scoring enough,that's 2 games against Fermanagh that Conaty hasn't scored plus how did Rory Grugan get MOTM
Good win but Fermanagh are limited. Down will be a step up but should beat them. Biggest issue I see is that the level in both games will not be sufficient to bring the team up to championship pace for a final challenge. Down game will be atrocious as they are so negative. Would it be worth tossing a coin for Newry or Armagh?

What's wrong with tossing for Armagh or Newry? Very handy for both sets of supporters.

Saturday 27th April. Clones. 5:30pm
Grugan was good - as was Paddy Burns and McElroy, but I thought Mackin was outstanding. Half back suits him much better.
