Nothing official from TM. I’d say they’re being crafty as per, and have kept a small number of unallocated seats and will release daily. Have looked the past 2 mornings and there have been a handful of lower cusack/Davin magically appearing.
Played for the first team v Granemore and Clann Eireann

I saw him at the game on Sunday, outside Packy Willies. I know he played in those recent games for Cross so you never know. He will be 33 by the time the season starts next year so maybe he's past his prime? It would be class to see him play with this team though if he could get his place. The problem he would have is his strength, if you look at our full forward line those three guys are tanks and all three are incredibly hard workers. I'm just not sure that role would suit Jamie. He gave us plenty of great memories though and it looks like he will join that long list of great Armagh players who just happened to miss out on the best teams.

Would be good to see him involved- we all know the ability he has. Even as a last 15 minute sub option you know he’s always good for scores and a moment of magic.

Jim McConville definitely near the top of that list.

One thing about us is that we are a very balanced forum ..... we seems to have issues with every other County in Ireland .

I dropped him because of his all Ireland club medal in '97. He took it OK but let's just say I'll not be on his Christmas card list this year lol, wicked wee skitter!!!

I was delighted to see so many flags in Clones on Sunday. It’s been something that has sadly been missing from all championship games in recent years I actually purchased one for me & kids before the game. I really hope our flags are waving proudly at Croker on Sunday

Yeah, a lot of commentary about the colour, noise and I even heard "razzmatazz! being mentioned. It's class, makes you very proud to be from Armagh. I think that's why the booing thing bugs me so much, I want to be thought of as a likeable bunch, like Leitrim but good at football. I was also thinking that these things can have a greater effect. Knowing what the GAA suits are like they should love what we bring to the game as a whole. Obviously there is the bums on seats we provide but we also make the whole thing a bigger spectacle which in turn is great for marketing and in turn again leads to ££££s. All this would make you think we should be at the top of the class and get rewarded as such not like those bold boys from Tyrone who are constantly on the naughty step but there again every story needs a villain.
By the way, who the hell are the half of yiz? Armagh is not that big but every time I go to a game I don't know who all these people are. We even have all sorts of exotic creatures like fellas with long hair and funky trousers. And as for the weemen, well they are on another level, something about a girl in an Armagh top, particularly those sleeveless basketball type ones...... phooowie!!!
Apologies, I think the whole inside of my brain fell out there in that rant..... lol

Is it just me or do I get a general feeling of "it's just matter of turning up" spreading around the county.
I have butterflies about next Sunday already, Galway are a seriously tight team, and will not just roll over.

No, anyone who follows football know it’s going to be a difficult game, we need to embrace it because we can win!
There would be no reason for complacency. Galway have some very talented players, have improved their defending and are provincial champions,
This is a 50/50 game and just as big an opportunity for Galway as it is for us.
Our record against them in league games has never been great and we have never beaten them in championship qualifiers (3 games I think)

Not sure where you’ve been getting that from to be honest. Consensus I’m getting is that we’re well fit to beat Galway but they’re a very good team- (wouldn’t have won Connacht otherwise!) who are perfectly capable of beating us and Derry/Clare as well.
Gonna be some game.
