Who do yous think will get an all-star for clubs. For me for clans Callum O'Neill, Campbell and mcpartlan will get one, Paul Hughes, oisin O'Neill and Rian also, shay hoey and maybe og Irwin for cullyhanna and murnin for st Paul's, I'd like to see O'Hara get one from keady as he shot the lights out most games, and Ross mcquillan deserves one too didn't see much of junior so couldn't say who from there
Senior championship 2022 & 2023
- Thread starter Geezersleftfoot
- Start date
Chris Crowley and Callum Comiskey marked O'Neill and Soupy out of it in the final - so I'd have them in with a shout. Aaron K also worthy. Ross McQ based on the final alone deserves one.

I've been meaning to ask. DLBs?

I think it means “Dirty Lurgan Blues”

Thought (maybe naively) it was Da Lurgan Blues
Is Clans or a Lurgan thing in general the fondness of nicknames?
When discussing past and present players for the DLBs, always seem to be talking about Tidsy, Bumpy, Buckshot, Budgie, Twin (Hendersons), and more recently Soupy. Anyone else I have forgotten?

I think that cand from a rant on here by someone a few years back after there was a bit of a ruckus at a Shane O’Neills/Clanns game in either the league or championship group game. They had a game abandoned.

There was a row kicked off on the forum after a CE man coined the phrase back in 2019 and it’s been a running joke ever since.

Aye the children often refer to name calling when they know they aren't cutting on the field, its a age old tactic, if you stoop to that level then you have already lost the argument. But it still seems to get a wee rise and more muppets are now on the band wagon with the wee likes. If it makes them happy then let them at it. I was just over it when you guys have re-ignited it

But yes there's a lot of nicknames around the Lurgan area, I just assumed all areas where the same lol

Well the DLB’s are going rightly from then, won an intermediate and got to a senior final and won few underage titles. Must be doing something right!Aye the children often refer to name calling when they know they aren't cutting on the field, its a age old tactic, if you stoop to that level then you have already lost the argument.

Eire Og always seemed to have lots of nicknames from anytime we were playing them

Its something I haven't thought about that much but now it's the topic it does seem to be prominent in these areas lol.
Yeah the Clans are going alright and its been down to a lot of hard work. I am cautious of getting above ones station though as theres nothing guaranteed in the future.

A good foundation has been set though.

Probably. I only remember a couple from the generation of Eire Og teams I grew up with. But thats a while back.
Even Portydown (Bisto anyone) didn't seem to have as many as Lurgan.
Don't mean this to sound like a bad thing or poking fun. This came from a conversation with my Father about old classic games involving the Clans. Recalling lineouts including names like Budgie and Buckshot give those teams a myth like aura. Think its class.

Yes that is true, this could be the first time we have agreed
If you know Buckshot Pablo, he is worthy of any myth
James Morgan hoping to return to action in January
By Cian O'Connell During Crossmaglen Rangers' decorated footballing story, James Morgan has been involved in 10 Armagh SFC title victories. On Sunday, though, Morgan was restricted to a watching brief due to injury as Cross defeated Clan na Gael. Not being available for selection is difficult...

No Morgan for the Ulster club campaign anyway. Hopefully see him back in the new year

Yeah Bisto is another seems to be around the area like Tubey. Thankfully being tiny with a name like James I was left alone. Could have ended up being called Big Ji.............. ah shoot!!
