There was a toss of a coin for Munster final venue. I would be sure provincial councils would be happy to consider this should both counties agree. The attendance and atmosphere will be very poor for Saturday in comparison to if the game was played in Newry or Armagh. Down were happy to toss...

The one he did kick in the first half just about held up in the wind. If he had come for all them frees and missed them he’d have been getting some abuse on here. Although he should have kicked the one in the second half that McPartland hardly got off the ground.

Would disagree that Armagh are good on the counter attack. It’s slow as can be even with the wind. I counted 4 turnovers inside the opposition 45m line that resulted in 0 return. The best teams are netting 2 or 3 of those. Also heard booing of armagh players for playing backwards against a...

It most certainly isn’t an attacking set up. Would fear if this is what it is for Louth what will it be like when we meet the top teams. Remains to be seen what style of play will be used but would hope there has been learnings from past failings, particularly being too passive against...

Only recently returned to training so there’s a possibility he may not be in the starting 15. If he was likely to start I would imagine he would have been playing against mayo yesterday or at least got game time against Derry. Obviously if he is on form and picking your best team he’d be in...

Very open yes but consider the possibility that no first choice defenders were playing and a middle third who could not win contested possession makes it a different game. The thing about kick outs, regardless of who is in nets, if any team press up against Armagh and there are not players...

Out of ideas when Derry pressed. Lack of ball winning midfielders a big issue. That said don’t expect too many from tonight’s line up to be getting significant minutes in the league

I thought Peter McDonnell was from Mullaghbawn

On last nights matches Cullyhanna came through their first test of the championship although Ogs had a couple of massive goal chances that they didn’t take and could really have had them in bother going in to the last 10. I think either of todays semi finalists will fancy their chances. The...

I don’t think so it would only have changed promotion / relegation if clans had been in a relegation slot themselves from senior to intermediate. So they would remain in 1B as they will still be a “senior” club next year regardless.

Considering Malachy O’Rourke wasn’t interested in the Derry job would make it highly unlikely he would have any desire to be working under someone else with a team that are not as good as Derry at the minute. Guys like ORourke and Cunningham aren’t going to be backroom types. Fellas looking to...

Generally a red card sanction is for 1 or more games in the same competition at the same level, eg striking in a minor championship game is a one match in the next minor championship game and would not affect playing senior. Unless the offence was particularly serious and a number of weeks...

And the outcome of one game is championship football. The real stuff starts next week.

They have been nominated for the post as far as I know

The rumour this past few weeks is that O’Rourke and Marsden have the job. Which makes the request for nominations from the clubs a box ticking exercise. Also regarding U20s I thought it strange that re-appointment passed without further discussion. Nothing against the post holder but the...

Laois won Leinster (when it was competitive) and Sligo beat Tyrone and should have beaten Armagh in 2002. Silly post. Monaghan a great draw, but if Monaghan has their choice of teams to draw they would have chosen Armagh.

Is this not what the reserve league is for?

There have been numerous times where players outside the 26 were unable to play for their clubs. On a match day it seems Armagh bring 30 players to have 4 on stand by. If Nugent is within that 30 (led to believe he is) then that suggests a shift from the management in terms of allowing players...

Very strange. One captain suspended, the other playing club football. Lads that have previously been asked not to play club must be wondering what the difference is for them. Maybe it helps to have a club man on the management team.. Can fully understand Oisin Oneill playing with Cross, that...

Only man to do it. Shocking young
