Ulster Championship 2024

[ArmaghMartin]

That's about the handiest draw we could have asked for..


Also why is the draw always done so early ?

 

[Ná habair é]

Happy enough with that draw but as always, it's one match at a time.
Anyone know when League fixtures are out?
Heard Blaine Hughes back with Armagh panel.

Good draw but we don't tend to wear the favourites tag too well. Fermanagh away always sticky & Laverty's Down would relish a shot at us in Clones. All to play for.

Fermanagh tough surely and goals in them as Derry found out last year. Big McGurn a handful at 14 as well.

Down didn’t even turn up against us last year in Clones. Could be big fallings out there, who’d want to play with them Kilcoo tramps.

Probably to tie in with master national fixtures for 2024

 

[William Of Orange]

Might be worth bringing Jamie Clarke back just for the penalties next year .

Was thinking the same

That's a great draw, should really be another final at the least

I think Cavan are better than Kildare and also probably cork

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...

Hard to figure out how Armagh could be 20/1 and the team that knocked them out last year are 66/1

Monaghan have an ageing team. Unlikely Darren Hughes or Conor McManus will be back next year. However, I still think they would challenge Armagh

Monaghan aren’t anywhere near as good as we made them look.

 

[GAAGael]

That there is Armagh's problem. Underperform when expected to win.

 

[PatMustard]

Monaghan aren’t anywhere near as good as we made them look.

You could argue that Monaghan put it up to the eventual All Ireland champions more than Kerry did.

Dubs were always in control in that game - kept Monaghan at arms length before blasting them out of it in last 10.
We buckled under the favourites tag pressure once again and played right into Monaghan's hands tactically - dog fight specialists. They're a good team but nobody really takes them seriously - they finish 3rd from bottom annually in div 1. We showed them far too much respect. That div 2 line-up is ugly - we could struggle in there this year as we're the biggest team in terms of media attention etc - expect all teams to raise their game against us.
