As excited this evening as I was before my first Ulster Final in 1981! Enthusiasm not tempered in over40 years, though the good lady things that my diagnosis is getting worse as time goes by! Have looked on at Ulster Finals in recent years as unmoved as I am by the Eurovision on the telly here...

1981 was my first Ulster Final, have never forgiven Down for that, so will be delighted to send them packing next eeekend at the same venue

Sssshh! Can you hear a bandwagon in the distance? Yip, Armagh are back at Clones, our virtual home ground in the noughties! Last night, a measured controlled first half with a crucial goal at the right time, gave us the breathing space to test out our defensive strategy in the second period...

Think the game yesterday confirms my view that Division 1 was a minefield this year and that there was not a fish supper wrapper between all teams.

What could have been a banana skin proved to be a well-manss as a well-managed training game. Such games used to be a quarter of Kerry’s All-Ireland winning runs. Great to see Turbo coming of age, McPartlan gives a further option in the middle, opponents will have learnt little, satisfactory...

This is the first what if re Armagh football that always comes to my mind, was a golden opportunity back then I feel

What if Oisin had scored that penalty in the 02 final, wonder how the game might have unfolded then

What if I and others had not run on to the pitch in the dying seconds of the 1984 NFL Quarter-Final Play-off against Cork in Athlone. Armagh took the lead by 3-4 to 0-12 at that time, before further added time saw a late Cork point to force extra-time. Despite a fourth Armagh goal early in the...

At the outset of the league, staying in Division 1 was my goal, to create as smooth a path as possible to next years All-Ireland series. We are not where we want to be next year NFL-wide, though harm can be undone with a strong Division 2 campaign. We have been depleted by injuries this year...

It is right to look towards a successful campaign this year, that was certainly my view at the outset and still believe it to be possible. I do not believe that we are seeing any of the Division 1 sides possibly bar Mayo showing their full hand at this point. That said, we should not be...

Get two points today, secure D1 football and prepare for championship, an NFL final would be a lovely but unwelcome distraction given championship battles could occur on following two weekends. As someone with very orange-tinted glasses, this thinking goes against what I normally believe but...

Pre1926 colours, several to pick from as team wore jersey of county winners

Will we be back in black today?

Could be, respect that

it will be important to understand why and who chose this venue, the motivation of any, will be critical to analyse. If it were an attempt to create an illusion of hype to deflect the attention of fans and ultimately players, then we have to consider our responses as supporters.

I have extremely orange tinted glasses when it comes to Armagh and want to see the team win every time out. However when Ciaran McKeever stated pre-McKenna Cup that the League match against Monaghan was Armagh’s focus, it was clear that a degree of experimentation would occur against Antrim and...

This location was first talked about in 2002, delighted to see it coming to fruition!

The game is gone and fair play and good luck to Galway on their success. Whilst there is no appetite for any appeal of the result, the tosses are a disregard for the rules and therefore open for discussion and debate.

Upon receipt of a red card, a player is ordered off the field. Saw a game the other day when two captains were red carded, one left the field immediately, the other stayed on the field and took part in not one but two subsequent coin tosses.
