Heard this morning that Louth are pushing to get the pitch lined out to the minimum width markings they can get away with
They must think that is there best chance of beating Armagh by turning it into a battle of piggery in the middle of the pitch

That's just BS. Inniskeen dimensions are the dimensions - same as Croke Park. Pitch is lined out as always. They have never been changed for club or county games and they wont be now.

So could we see a change with Paddy Burns back to man mark Mulroy? Our best man marker if fit

Murphy or McKay might get that job, they got the jobs of Clifford and O’Shea in the league game vs Kerry. Hard to know if there’ll be any changes or not, hopefully no fresh injuries since Derry

Didn't Tyrone and Mickey Harte do this v Dublin????

Mickey Harte did indeed do this v Dublin 2018. He then tried to blame SKY TV stating they requested more space on sidelines for equipment. SKY totally rejected this and Mickey refused to answer any more questions on subject. Dublin won anyways.
Mc Geeney was spotted at weekend buying a large measuring tape.;) In general, if a team does have concerns re pitch dimensions, I think the captain has to lodge a complaint/protest with the referee before throw in and that must be included in referee's report.

Devlin no stranger to the Tyrone 'dark arts' so discipline will be key. Full focus on scoreboard and ignore all 'handbags/melees' - they're nothing but a distraction. Be good to see Paddy Burns and McCambridge back. We seemed to be very open at back v Derry in first half - they had a few goal chances. Hopefully Blaine avoids the 'risky' short kick-outs and also over the side line kick-outs. Just go long. Would like to see Oisin O'Neill coming on a lot sooner.

I will watch it again if I have to, but on Hughes' kick-outs - the one that resulted in a goal and another into a half chance, who was on Murray - was it McGrane?

Aye hopefully it’s just a rumour, I think the absoloute minimum width is not allowed to be less than 80 metres

Louth will no doubt be at some dirty tactics on Sunday. Noticed a lot of off the ball stuff against Dublin in the opening 15 - I think Louth got three yellow cards. Armagh just need to keep themselves focused on the job.
