Armagh have shown glimpses of the 2022 championship form this year but I'd still be worried that they will slip back into last years negative mindset when faced with better opposition. The same thing happened in the League final again when the stakes were heightened and the fear of losing took over. 

The Ulster final, should we get there, could well be the defining game of the season because they won't be winning an All Ireland title. For a lot of those players it's probably the last chance saloon to try and win meaningful silverware.

The split season cant help either.  I remember when the 1st round of the Ulster championship was a great day out played in late May or early June with decent weather.  Families could make a day of it and watch two knock out matches.  Yesterday only me and my brother could go.  His kids have exams coming up, there was no minor game, it was expensive, it was cold, it was wet it was windy and little to nothing rested on the outcome. Win and you had at least 4 matches left this season lose and you have at least 3 matches left.  I never liked the backdoor for what it did to the provincial championships it was the first nail in their coffin for me.  This current format is the final nail.

Both sides struggled in Brewster Park with the severe cross wind, hence the low points total.

I have to say Peter Drury wore me down a little yesterday. Repeatedly roaring "And Bakayo Saka" or "And Leandro Trossard" with every half chance. Maybe I should have put this in the gear grinding thread. 

They're all so shouty nowadays. More noticeable on the highlights on ssn. Painful

Brian Moore - "it's up for grabs now" Anfield 89 and Jimmy Smyth - Down Derry 94 the best 2 commentators in my opinion, a joy to listen to and sorely missed

Moore, Davies Motson, be like listening to poetry compared to this current batch of shouters

Ps that's embarrassing from Chelsea, hammering the Ev and still managing to make fools of themsleves

Has anyone watched any  of This Town on BBC 1?

I caught a few minutes of it  a while back. There seemed to be an  1970's Irish/Republican  link through  it.

Just wondered if it was worth  making the effort?

We were under the impression it was music based and also as a result was expecting a better soundtrack. Took us a while to realize it wasn't going that way lol. Has a music and as you say republican link. It's better than ok but not superb imo. This is probably of no help at all 🤓

how many counties would a train station in clones benefit?

Armagh, hoor's only have trains to Belfast and the rest of the place connecting via Dublin the critters

Was waiting on the shout going up before last weekend about needing extra trains to Enniskillen 🤪

Armagh ones love an auld train.

Brewster park would be 12 mins walk from the railway station.
