IF he played with the U20s then he can play with the seniors. IF he did that then he would not be eligible to play for the U20s again (as was the case with thon new Kerry protestant [or prodigy - I always get those two mixed up] last year). I'd imagine that he'd be useful in U20 form, so that genuinely could be the case. Was anyone at the U20 game? Can anyone shed light on that? ANYONE?did McQuillan not play for the U20s recently? maybe he chose to play for them and your not allowed to play for both. could be as simple as that
You been watching too much Blame Game!Admire the love fest between the Cross and Cullyhanna posters. Something to do with 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'?

Mackers I agree completely on his ability and he does appear to have a great attitude. The problem I can see is that the county manager has other players who have been there all season and he has to weigh up how they would feel if a player got what they might see as preferential treatment because of who he is.
County football managers have to be a hard bunch by the look if it. Lee Brennan is a top club player but walked away from Tyrone because of lack of game time. I expect though if Ross is still about next year he will be a starter. He may even get a chance this year.
All I want to see is Armagh with the best players playing! I think if we played our best hand were capable of competing but if through stubbornness etc we don’t get our best players on the pitch then it’s going to be a struggle as we seen with Down. Although it was a very good win especially in Newry. That same performance tho in Omagh and we would been hammered. Get more pace in the team tighten up at full back get A proper partner for Jarly og and that could change tho. 3 of them starting forward line including our captain were very poor in Newry. Soupy Osin O’Neill Ross McQuillen Andrew Murnin Grimley Creally Joe McElroy Jason Duffy all should be seriously considered for Cavan assuming injury free. Jemar Ethan Grugan Charlie (maybe better option at full back) Mckay all in danger. Looks like Sheridan and Burns will miss out through injury. Forker also didn’t look fit v Down not sure if injured or not.
If you think Hall offers nothing then you didn’t watch one league gameI think this is the issue. We need to blood these young lads in like Ross and Duffy along with others. We have been looking at Grugan and Hall for far too long at this stage, players who offer us nothing. If it is the case where McGeeney is keeping him for U20's then fair enough but if we have such quality players at our disposal why not use them.
On another point i think we are badly stuck for a full back. No quality back there at the minute but hard to see at the minute where our options lie. Could we make a full back out of one of our current midfielders? Possibly.

Osin O’Neill If fit would come into contention but prob need a few impact players off the bench as well!!
Soupy Campbell does well coming off bench too.
And how did our league campaign go then? Won two games. No quality.If you think Hall offers nothing then you didn’t watch one league game
You also know Hall wasn’t the only player playing in those games? Going on your post none of the players are good enoughAnd how did our league campaign go then? Won two games. No quality.
We are now in with the big boys and in an ulster semi final and IMO Hall isn't good enough.
There are so many keyboard warriors on this forum that spout on about who is or isn't good enough for the county. The team we have is brilliant. There may be players out there with bags of talent but haven't committed to the team because of one reason or another. It doesn't matter to me.
If the players selected give everything for the orange jersey on the pitch they are highly regarded in my estimations. We should support everyone and stop having fantasies about who could be playing when they are not in the fold.
It is a fact that if an u20 player plays senior before the u20 season is over they cannot play u20 again. Like last year if Armagh are far enough in the championship and if the u20's don't go far they will join the senior team.
