Will still take some time getting up to speed for this level and he's in his late 20s with an awful injury history.

Can see the argument but he looked very leggy against Derry I thought. Maybe more likely to be integrated slowly given his history. But equally I wouldn't be surpised to see him at 14. We also have no idea about the fitness of the 'regulars' so who knows

Anyone taking a guess at a team for Saturday? Very difficult with the first choice 15 playing behind closed doors. Can only speculate who from McKennna Cup games might have played their way in... 1. Magill 2. Burns 3. McKay 4. Forker 5. McCabe 6. McCambridge 7. Conor O'Neill 8. McPartland 9...

Big congratulations to Cullyhanna. Serious work to lift a provincial honour at any level and something we see all too rarely from our county representatives. Enjoy the next few days and hopefully there'll be a date in Croke Park in 2024.

Congratulations to Cross, and commiserations to a young Clans side. Soupie and McPartland needed to repeat their feats from their wins against us and Clan Eireann to have a chance, but it never materialised. Both lads will be disappointed with how it went, I think it's fair to say. I don't...

I would say your correct for a ball dropping in and around the goals or the square,but if the ball is landing out on the 13 the keeper has no business being there. Have you ever seen someone fist a goal from the 13m line that bounces and trickles into the net?

Was talking to a GK from my club about this. The issue isn't handling, he is probably the best man under a high ball in the county and he is not a weakness under a high ball. The problem is the decision to come so far out to attack a ball that landed on the 13m line. Theres not a natural GK in...

Not much point complaining about the stolen yards - every good free taker does it. Ideally we'd see referees able to spray a line on the pitch that the taker cannot cross, similar to soccer. I'll be surprised if we don't see this popping up at Congress in the next couple of years. Overall I'm...

There's not much to agree with in this post. Hall came up at club and county underage as a scoring forward. He has two good feet and isn't afraid to shoot, he is 100% doing what he is told to do. If McGeeney and the management team are watching him in training 3-5 times a week and they're happy...

Correct haven’t been there since 88

Rumours that tomorrow’s game is off as there is no point either team showing up for the final. We’ll split second place and wish cross the best in Ulster!

Nobody is saying that Down football is of as good a standard as Tyrone for example, despite them having the current AI champions. I was in Newry last week for the Kilcoo - Mayobridge game and it was terrible. Have also been to more or less every SFC game in Armagh this year and I can tell you...

Misprint in the programme he was lined out on the 40. Had an influential game.

Not sure that maghery do routine wins against anyone. They tend to grind out tight games and arent big scorers. Cross (and if they beat Cross which i personally doubt, then us or Granemore) wont be worrried about getting a hiding off them. Also when three of the 4 quarter finals go to extra time...

Nab beat them after extra time in the semi in 2019 and they were in a quarterfinal last year. They also easily beat a Mullaghbawn team who disposed of the county champions and were fancied to turn them over. So I think youre the only man on this forum who thinks they wouldn't breeze the...

A new member joining to give out while a championship defeat is still fresh, never a good idea. Granemore have regularly been at the latter end of the championship in recent years. They're never beaten by much and they never seem to get relegated from 1A either. So to answer your final...

Clan na Gael were very good yesterday. We managed to put the brakes on Stefan Campbell but Shane McPartland put on an exhibition. Surely he is one for McGeeney to be looking at? Some scores right out of the top drawer. Not sure what age he is but that was the best individual display so far this...

Looks like the annual chance to 'catch' Cross has come and gone yesterday

Sideline Eye more than a bit better, it's super.

Strongly agree with this. The world has changed since I was a young fella. Will add my congratulations to the team for their spirit and effort. Hopefully we can keep it together for next year. I've made my point on here before that we lack a) the defensive discipline and b) the defenders to...
