Dr. McKenna Cup 2019

[Ard Mhacha 13]

Its difficult to gauge exactly the movement of players and their bodies in a still photo. Looks bad, but like VAR, when at normal speed things can look very different.

The picture captures the exact moment, so a hand in the face happened, having your boot in someone's midriff happened. While I agree these may look more aggressive in a still image than in real time my issue is with the language used to describe the images, poetic licence to the fore.

£9 into previous McKenna Cup games and probably more for the final plus paying for kids is a bit excessive IMHO. Things are tight for most folk in January, think the GAA should be a bit more understanding, the competition after all isn't overly important although try telling that to the lads on Saturday night

How happy am I with my Season ticket, £20 for 5 matches, bargain

I have a plan...

Armagh forward Jamie Clarke is crowded out by Donegal’s Paul Brennan and Brendan McCole during yesterday’s McKenna Cup semi-final in Omagh Picture by Margaret McLaughlin

"James Morgan throws Jamie Brennan to Cookstown."

 

[Diarmi]

"Rory Grugan glues Hugh McFadden's hand to his jersey in another cynical tackle by Armagh"

 

[Diarmi]

"Andrew Murnin cynically traps Fermanagh player's hand under his chin"

 

[Diarmi]

"Rory Grugan cynically uses eye lasers to attack Donegal players but accidentally kills Stephen Sheridan, definite black card offense. "

I see what you mean. Frig me, we are a cynical bunch!

Here’s another...

Aaron Findon crumples up his jersey and forces it into Sean Cavanagh’s fist.

As much as I would love a win on Saturday night, I would much prefer a win in Kildare the following week.

Tyrone were fairly under strength against Derry with quite a few new comers in their team. It will be interesting to see if Mickey reverts to a bit more experience. I do fancy us to win although the 2/1 odds arent overly tempting at this stage.
