Ulster Championship 2024

[Bringyourboots]

Why would we change it. We are aiming to be back for, and hopefully winning, a final. Makes sense to get as much experience playing there. Yes far more hassle etc. but sensible decision for the team.

Cute hoorism by down
Clones is wide and spacious
Down wanted it tight claustrophobic
We knew from the outside where the games was to be played .

Agreed, plus Down will need goals to create an upset, Donegal scored 4 goals to beat Derry, Cavan scored 3 goals to almost beat Tyrone.

Then ask yourself

Why come out with such a statement now - 24hrs before a game

What club is he from and have they form for such antics?

What other provincial semi finals toss for home venue? Did Donegal and Tyrone toss for venue?

not to defend him but was he not asked? It wasnt something he just came out with?

what are the pitch dimensions in the AG/Newry compared to clones

what are the pitch dimensions in the AG/Newry compared to clones

Don’t think Armagh is overly wide anyway. But even the nature of the stand etc it’ll feel tighter.

 

[Armaghball]

Armagh 143 x 88 m
Newry 138 × 81 m
Clones 142 x 87 m

From Wikipedia. Armagh and Clones nearly the same and Newry smaller.

 

[Diarmi]

Right decision to play it in Clones, it is much closer for Armagh than Down. I would say very few from around the border areas of Down like Bangor, Newtownards, Donaghadee or Portavogie will travel .

 

[Armaghball]

Will that team start?

Wouldn't rule out Ethan starting

I would be very surprised

Conor Laverty and Conleith Gilligan will know each other inside out

 

[Peter grimes]

Conor Laverty and Conleith Gilligan will know each other inside out

Scurrilous and without foundation.

 

[Armaghniac]

Boylesports have some range of bets for this game. 4/1 for Grugan to score 6 or more might be worth a go given his free taking role.

Ethan Rafferty starts

At wing forward

It could be anyone to be honest, if Philly McMahon is picking it.
