"Armagh's record in Ulster is awful"

I'm convinced that as a reward for their efforts, McGeeney lets an Armagh steward pick the team for the press release.

This week it was yer man from Forkhill.

It's true I tell ya.

Alexa, pick an Armagh 15

Cavan team named:

Raymond Galligan
Killian Clarke
Padraig Faulkner
Jason McLoughlin
Ciaran Brady
Oisin Kiernan
Gerry Smith
Gearoid McKiernan
James Smith
Conor Brady
Dara McVeety
Jonny McCabe
Cian Madden
Paddy Lynch
Oisin Brady

Bench: Liam Brady, Conor Moynagh, Conor Madden, Niall Carolan, Tiarnan Madden, Brandon Boylan, Ryan O'Neill, Jack McKenna, Killian Brady, Marty Reilly, Conor Smith

Strong team, and good bench too with a lot of options to come on as needed.

No TK
No J Morgan
J Hall at 11...Christ

Midfield are very inexperienced and can't be match fit (can't include Antrim game as they were pathetic). Shane had his first Championship start last day out and Creely had been out injured for the last 3-4 months.

In saying all of the above this team may not be the team that lines out, Saturday is going to be wet and the wet heavy sod may well suit Cavan being the bigger team

tbf shane needs to start
and would rather he played than stephen
the forward line has scores in it and save for  losing morgan who i really rate the defence is fine
could seee jarlath og and rian coming in but jeez at this stage if we can`t put away Cavan ( and thats no disrespect to Cavan) we have no right to be playing in the Sam group stages in june because its a waste of time and money

[yellowcard]

I'd be reluctant to criticise the starting line up since we just don't know if that is the team that will start the match. But I would imagine that Morgan, Burns and O'Neill would be in most peoples strongest fifteen so we are probably playing below full strength if that team does take the field. McPartland was excellent the last day but it is a massive task to play midfield where Cavan look strong especially given that Crealey has missed much of the season as well. That area is a major concern. However I still think that team is capable of beating Cavan and we have plenty of firepower off the bench if needed.

The only thing we know from the two team annoucements is who is in the first 26.

[gander]

Armagh started with the team named the last day out tho

Looks like conditions will be brutal tomorrow.  Rain all day

It's a pity, it will not be overly warm either.
The weather this evening would have done, although it cool also.

[seafoid]

It might come down to the managers.

It might come down to the managers.

In a one to one I am confident in McGeeney, especially if it is MMA.

I think it would like Indiana Jones, McGeeney be jumping around the place doing ninja moves, flexing his pecks and then mickey pulls out a gun and shoots him.

Does Breffni Park pitch cope well with the rain?
