I see St. Michael is preparing his excuses already with "7" players opting to line out in Sigerson on Sunday
Who’s the 7 players?

No idea Pat, but he was quoted on the radio news at 3pm as having said "these lads would be better playing with their county's with the league just over a week away".
He misses the point entirely of the pressure put on players, particularly the younger lads who have club, county and school commitments

Mickey only cares about Mickey. Sure look what he did in the McK cup for years with the uni players. Other managers seen the bigger picture.

That's a scary team. Thank heavens they have seven on Sigerson duty or they'd be playing with twenty two!

Looks like Tyrone want to put us back in what they imagine our place to be.

Serious team alright. Exactly what we need, no point in fooling ourselves. After tomorrow night we should have a very good idea of where we are in the pecking order. I do think we need to put out our strongest team. I always think back to 2002 when we basically used the same team from the first round of the McKenna cup until the all Ireland final. It meant the team had a real chance to gel and it stood to them in the latter stages.
No messing about any more, no mind games, no more shite, lets just go out and get stuck in to those cheating, diving excuse for humans and show queen Mickey and his bunch of pussies what Armagh is all about, c'mon ta f**k!!!!!!!!!!!!
I propose Diarmi does the team talk!

Let’s be realistic here....McKenna cup has zero relevance to what happens further down the line when Armagh play Tyrone.
Remember Tyrone winning by a cricket score in 2014 then getting beaten in Omagh come championship time.
Winning or losing tomorrow either way should be treated with a huge pinch of salt. Always nice to win but it means feck all if we don’t make league and championship progress.

Thanks for the reality check CEMan, what on earth was I thinking being so excited, I feel so much better now that I am grounded.
You could say that for any game in fact - people do - "you are only as good as your last game".
We are coming from a low point and trying to build. At this stage I will take any positives there are and enjoy them. I am fully aware though that some folk are happier when things are going badly as it gives them something to moan about.
Personally I think winning the McKenna cup would be a excellent achievement and while it doesn't mean we will win the All Ireland, it's progress.
Now c'mon ta F**K!!!!!! --- ahem, sorry.
