Ulster Championship 2024

[Armaghball]

Derry vs ourselves an even bigger game now. If we slip-up next week it'll feel like a knock-out.

Wouldn’t read too much into that tbh.

 

[Armaghball]

No. People have short memories - we know exactly what it would be like if we bump into Monaghan again this year! We're well fit to beat them but they don't fear us or Donegal.

Yeah I agree. I think Kerry and Donegal would be a very close game but Donegal and Monaghan would be close too. Very rarely a game between any of the strong Ulster teams would be a hammering.

 

[Armaghball]

Suppose it was close in the first half, I just felt they got it right tactically in the 2nd and were in total control going into the closing stages before we unleashed the crazy. It's a pity we didn't unleash the crazy when 4 up against Donegal because I actually think it suits us - we just have to be brave enough to do it!

In fairness from memory we did let a few in on top of Murnin in the second half but they dealt with them well. Obviously can’t do it all the time as you don’t want to be giving up possession.

Let me put it another way
If I'd said Donegal are 8-12pts better than Monaghan would you agree?

When is the last time any Armagh team beat a team by 10/12 pts ?
Even the great Armagh team only won games by a few pts except maybe the 04 ulster final
It’s very rare to be able to sit and watch an Armagh team in the last 10 minutes with a 10 pt lead lol

Kildare, Meath, Cavan in the league were big wins. Fermanagh in the championship. But true we rarely do it to a decent team.

Rumours Derry match moved to the Sunday due to a parade

I had a look at the Parades Commission site and there is no parade mentioned in Derry or as far as I can see anywhere about there. There is one in Ballygawley, but presumably in the village and not the roundabout.

How can you say it's moved to the Sunday?
Where is it shown it's fixed for the Saturday?

Very quiet build-up to Saturday's game considering it's only the 2nd year of the AI series. This is a massive game for Armagh, we have struggled against this side over the years and they are as unpredictable as ourselves - promotion then poor result in Championship. They've had a long lay off which could work for or against them. Interesting to see how our lads respond to last week.

Gaa go and ticketmaster had 6pm the Saturday

 

[Muckser]

Its now 4pm the Sunday on RTE

 

[JoeH]

Gaa go

I'll think you'd have found all games fixed for Saturday as default
It's only when they're fixed and released are they confirmed

They cover themselves giving either Saturday or Sunday as possible dates.
