It’s members like you that would give Armagh fans a bad name with the shite you’ve spouted here. I really don’t give a fiddlers about most of what you said cos you’re obviously an argumentative sort that would take issue with any reasonable point for the sake of it. But I will reference your comments re my dad. You have no clue re my dad’s health issues - I didn’t go into them - but I would’ve thought even an idiot would pick up on the fact having alluded to his age that his overall health dictates that watching a game on his own TV without various extra devices, streaming issues etc is much preferable and not too much to ask for our older generation. I felt exactly the same about sky but did not expect a national broadcaster to start charging for things they provided for free not long ago.Give it a rest. Armagh fans the last while have been the laughing stock of the country, yapping about everything!
*With 4 northern teams into the last 8 this was always going to be a possibility. If we had been on a sunday there would have been people complaining with being late home for work in the morning, cant take a drink etc. God forbid our supporters enjoy themselves and have a drink supporting their county. Yes there is always a small number of clowns from every county which let themselves down, but this doesn't mean the rest of us can't have a drink!
*Just hang tight if you know they are going to release the 'better tickets' later in the week?
*Is this a GAA issue? Is there the capacity available for extra trains at that time on a Saturday? Yes I agree a few extra trains would have been brilliant, but remember how privileged we are to even have access to a train station- unlike Tyrone, Derry & Monaghan.
*My grandfather is in the same boat. My uncle takes him over to his house to watch the games. Although i know this can't be the case for everyone. Why not buy him a smart tv or fire stick (costs about £25). Me personally, wouldn't miss any of the big championship/league games for the world. It would defiantly be a good investment. We are lucky to have access to so many games a year, although GAA GO does have its teething issues it is still a great service. What i am trying to say is really if your father loves the football so much why doesn't he/you invest in setting GAA GO up for him if it means so much to him?
Hes injuredAgain a lot of consistency so no massive surprises.
I hope that team does start. Not because it’s the team I would have named (the team I would have named is irrelevant because I haven’t been training with the guys for the past fortnight) but because I hate the idea of naming a guy for what is a massive match, knowing that he wasn’t actually going to start.
Not surprised that Higgins hasnt been named. Not that I think he isn’t good enough or didn’t do a sound job last day out. But on a horses for courses basis I think it was unlikely to start both him and McKay against Monaghan. That said he isn’t on the bench and must be injured. He would have been a good man to call upon if Monaghan went with 2 big men up top.
Listen, here is nor the time or place to discuss your fathers physical well being, and i wish him all the best. But is there any need for persoanl insults and suggesting i a m an idiot for making a highly reasonable claim? If your Dad is such a big Armagh fan, then surly you and/or your family would help him out and get him set up to watch the games on GAA GO. A ticket into the game on Saturday is costing £30, never mind fuel in the yoke and a bite to eat up in Dublin. The money saved by not attending games for whatever reason could go to the GAA GO subscription and set up. Where there is a will there is a way. I personally have commuted from London for every championship game this year, and i love it. It's a great excuse to get home and see my family (even for just a couple of hours lol) and i love watching my team in the flesh. Plus its class meeting up with all my friends and team mates and telling the right way of it pre and post game.It’s members like you that would give Armagh fans a bad name with the shite you’ve spouted here.

So do me a favour lad & belt up til you know what your talking about.
While Armagh fans can be wick at the best of times, Translink/Iarnród Éireann surely to god know that when Armagh reach this stage that there’s going to be demand for the train. Logistically challenging for a Saturday no doubt, but surely a bit of joined-up thinking from the GAA and the railway companies wouldn’t go a miss.
4 train specials now sold out
Would quarter finals onwards not always have been on free to air?Dont get the GAAGO debate the same as i never got the sky debate. The simple fact is that before these subscription based platforms there was about half the amount of games shown. RTE show the same amount of games as they always did, now we get extra games to enjoy from these platforms. RTE is not a dedicated sports channel so you cant expect them to show every game.
