Apparently there’s a big blow for Armagh ahead of the down game. Details in today’s Gaelic life. If anyone sees it can they post it

I can't post it but it details how Murnin is not yet ready for the Down match. I guess not really that much of a surprise or shock. It does mention that he is involved in on-field training, but just not yet at a point of being able to line out. No mention of any other injuries.

Wouldn't say its a big blow although would be good to have everyone fighting fit.

Cheers. Nothing we didn’t know then. I was expecting something about Clarke or ONeill or Donaghy or someone like that being ruled out

I see on Hoganstand Facebook - sorry @PatMustard I know this means a 30 mile trip to your neighbour to borrow their clockwork and wind up tablet of stone to read the news - that they have a post about Ulster being the only province to have all SFC games shown on the tele box, even if most are deferred. Some muppet (as is usual in these things) goes on about how the Hurling this and hurling that in other provinces should be............... Yep that may be true, but and I hate defending HS and love slagging them off, the post was about SFC not SHC.

Someone else goes on to comment about the "puke football on the BBC." Now to be fair I agree, there's far too much soccer on BBC but I think the Ulster championship is the best in Ireland. Not saying it has the best standard, but it's the most competitive. For example, I'm getting all excited about which one of the one teams will win in Leinster, Dublin or maybe Dublin, Same in Munster although I think it's a toss between Kerry and Kerry. Connacht is different with maybe Galway or Mayo in with a chance. At least in Ulster it could be "them'uns", Donegal, Monaghan or Armagh. Cavan, Derry or Down "could" create an upset. Fermanagh had their chance last year and blew it in style and as for Antrim..............

Funnily enough @Calm1 i didn’t see that Hogan stand article.

I do agree, Ulster is the most competitive, along with Munster hurling. While maybe not as exciting as it was in its heyday back in the 40’s.

One thing I’d change though. If a match is deferred, why not just show the highlights later that night? Just like they did when ‘Mr GAA’ himself, Jackie Fullerton, hosted ‘The Championship’.

I mean, I try to avoid the result of some matches so I can watch deferred. But it can be a struggle sometimes. Especially if it’s a cricket score. A condensed highlights package would be enough.

So, come on BBC, do what you do best - show less GAA.
