Armagh v Cavan - Ulster Semi-final and Replay

[William Of Orange]

Same time as the Munster final, our game mustn't be on TV then.

Munster finals on RTÉ Mayo v Down is 7 0 clock also sky will hardly show Tyrone longford /,Derry Laois will they ?

 

[niall1980]

Of course he meant it
He shouldn’t have been the one to go because although he missed a point and the goal chance which in fairness the keeper was out very quick on him and probably deserves great credit for the save, I thought he was involved in nearly every one of armagh scores and was looking very busy unlike Murnin and vernon who where nowhere near their best.

You wouldn’t be bias there now Pat would you

 

[ragingbull]

What’s the thoughts did he mean it , some skill if he did

I've done loads of times in the Grange field don't call me classy for nothing

 

[PatMustard]

First decade since the 1880s we haven’t been in a final I think

Other decades haven’t been great either.

1940’s - 1 Ulster final appearance.

1950’s - 3 finals, including an AI final appearance.

1960’s - 1 final appearance

1970’s - 1 final appearance, including an AI final appearance

It’s hard to define a team over a typical decade like that though. There’s so many changes in personnel.

Plus in the past, Ulster was a two year draw, so if we were up against a great team that’s two years in a row we had to play them.

Maybe @ragingbull is counting the inevitable 2020 title.

 

[ragingbull]

look on the bright side we've never lost a Ulster final in Croke Park so we haven't

That's it so it is

Was there not Ulster finals played in Croke Park way back in the 40’s or 50’s?

I remember something about that when they moved it there in 2004.
