Mayo v Armagh

Any Madden lads on here shine any light on Grimley’s injury? He had a massive game the last day and I think without him we might not fully expose the obvious weakness that Mayo has in that sector now.

If he’s unfit I think it will be Crealey or Charlie to come in but also increasing likelihood that we will see Oisin come in for his first action of the season.

I see McQuillan cannot play for U20 tomorrow night due to suspension still in place from row with the Gargoyles last year.

I believe Ross Mcquillian cant play for Armagh seniors until under 2o have been put out as it has always been the aim that he would play for the under 2o team. I am not sure how true this is. Not available tomorrow night due to suspension, he has played a few games for the under 20 this year in warm up games. Does anyone know if he has been playing for Cullyhanna? Talented player but my opinion would be the same with Oisin Oneill next year could be his year.

Oh no, the Ross McQuillian thread again! I'm saying nothing.................although so are the ones spouting about him a few months ago on here until @Calm1 raised the ruling that he couldn't play until U20s was over...................... So, technically, if we are beat tomorrow at U20, he is eligible for the seniors?/ and then the debate will start all over again.

Suspension only applies in the same code at the same level in the same competition, so it would carry over from last year's U20 to be served this year as far as I read it. To be honest it makes it totally unfair and inappropriate as some players will not serve a second of suspension as that game last year would have been their act one anyway. I'm not 100% sure that's correct, but believe it is. I'm open to help and correction on it.

Aye but it's getting confusing now. As far as I was aware (in a former life - different soap so different character - see what I did there??) if a player was eligible for U20 he played at that level. If he played senior county he then became illegible to play U20. I seen earlier today that Fermanagh announced that now their U20 lads had finished with senior football, they were available for U20 this week. I thought that wasn't allowed, but obviously I interpreted it wrong.

I was wondering the same thing reading the Irish news today

my own earlier comment on McQuillian was meant to be a reply to uptheorchard who was suggesting alternatives if Grimley and Murnin are injured for Saturday. Just pointing out that lad was still on a ridiculous suspension from last years U20 game.

He's playing for Cullyhanna alright. Was exceptional against Dromintee. Maybe he's heading off to Austrailia.

He's nothing to do with Saturday though. I'd love an unchanged 15. Morgan won't feature...won't even make the bench. If we are to lose one of the 15 I'd rather it be Murnin than Grimley.

Massive good luck to Kieran, the squad and all support Castlebar bound.

This isn't beyond us by any stretch of the imagination.

If we could win back to back away to Monaghan and Mayo I'd take any provincial finalist.

Adh mor to all.
