Cavan are down to 14 men and will be getting absolutely tounced again tonight. We now have the true lay of the land. We were cut open down the middle last week by Cavan and have been beaten out the park tonight. Just don't know.
 
Unfortunately couldn’t back up the win last week.. superb forwards to compete but defence is a major worry and has been the past few years. Win nothing with the likes of Donaghy, Burns, McCabe at the back..intermediate and junior footballers

The problem is not players in intermediate and junior level, it is the way in which the team is set up. I'm prepared to give this game a bye ball as we just dont play in portlaois. But get beaten again next Saturday night and I think there will be knives out and a lot of reflection needed.

Yea but where are these players coming from. McCabe, Burns, Kennedy, Hall don’t even stand out for their clubs

Such a ridiculous statement. A loss against a team who drew with a relegated team from Division One away from home last week. The same relegated team who knocked us out of the Championship two years ago.

McCabe perhaps I can agree with given that he rarely featured last year but Donaghy and Burns? Have a look at yourself. Donaghy has been pivotal for us the last few years, vital in fact. Burns County POTY two years ago and last year confined Andy Moran to the bench after 30 minutes against Mayo. And for what it's worth, they were two of the better performers tonight at the back.

Realistically, Club players rarely feature with their clubs due to County commitments. So baring that in mind are you suggesting that the best players aren't picked? Or suggesting that due to where they are born and raised that if that geographical area happens to house a Junior team that they should be banished? Not everyone is born and raised in Crossmaglen or Armagh City. And not everyone from those areas are automatically deemed intercounty worthy because their club happens to be of Senior Grade. Archaic and uneducated view.

Typical mentality from an Armagh 'Fan'. First chance to complain or give out and it's taken but it we have any success you'll no doubt be top of the queue looking tickets.

A poor overall performance tonight but laughable that people decide to hit the panic button on the 1st of February. Plenty of positives to take with Jamie, Jarly Óg and Jemar all coming in and getting game time.

apart from clarke & burns none of the others on the bench would make any differences most of them aren't good enough to play for armagh
