A point well made as usual Calm.
But what to do about this verbosity?
Well, storming the control room and grabbing control of the mic is maybe a bit too radical. How about a few strategically placed posters such as "Cead Mile Focail" or as Ronan Keating would say " You say it best when you say nothing at all. "
Have just thought of a way of combining those two but dont want to be too rude.

I really hope Armagh take it to Donegal tomorrow. It's another chance to get a rough idea of where we are in comparison to more established teams and will be further good preparation for the League. Donegal are missing Murphy and McBrearty and have only just got McHugh back. They have some other quality players to worry about but I do feel that we can compete, as we showed on Wednesday.

Agreed and we have to be able to compete with them if we're serious about progression. We meet them soon in the league and both teams will want to put a marker down. Donegal will have aspirations of returning to Division 1. We should have ambition of making it difficult for them and having that same aspiration. Really looking forward to see how we compare to them at this stage. We've quality too and even more to come back. Never mind the rest, add Andy Murnin into our forward line and Oisin O'Neill and we've a right to be optimistic.
By the way, having mentioned Oisin, I believe it may not be as long as at first suspected. That might well be wishful thinking, but I'll take that.

Last year I would probably have agreed
This year I do think, all be it against weaker opposition, that there is something different. When a strong team plays a weaker team a win is expected. However it's the manner of the win is what's important.
The strong running, support play, the number of scores is all impressive.
Wednesday night will be a further indication against an excellent division one squad.
Great to see players back and new players getting an opportunity in a team filled with strong players.

For me it's how the win is obtained not the scoreline.

Interesting I see we played the wrong rules in cross game. Referree was stood down as apparently we played 5 hand passes not 3. I seem to remember him being vocal calling them and was sure when said today at work that's right was 5. Anyone else remember?

Think he has served his sentence quite quickly as he takes charge of the Derry v tyrone game!

Good luck to the lads & management today. As others have already said this match will give us another test, it's another step up & will give us an idea of where we are in relation to the top teams. I have felt a sence of optimism & positivity from the start of our Season & am hoping this continues. Performance is key today whatever the result but of course would love another win, nothing boosts confidence & morale like winning.

Safe travels to all the supporters making the trip to Omagh.

C'MON ARMAGH.
