McKenna Cup 2024

[Breffni_Yank]

Big Quigley is on a one man mission to bring the Mc Kenna cup to Fermanagh.  Big Justy might just have his work cut out for him tomorrow night.

I reckon the Fermanagh lads have backed themselves to win the McKenna Cup to help pay the bills the Co. Board couldnt afford to pay last year

Jesus, could they not just have went by points difference?! Everyone is familiar with that.

Best runner up plays winner of Fermanagh/Tyrone group so barring a cricket score in one of the other groups, Fermanagh and Tyrone will be playing again at the weekend with Down playing winners of Group C.

[Goats Do Shave]

Any Mathmaticians out there?

What is needed for Armagh to go through? 8 point swing?

A new manager and about 6 top class players
I think Armagh, like ourselves, would like to go through to get another competitive game in before the league but I dont think it would be a huge disappointment if neither went through.

Free taking from distance is really a thing from the past. The St Marys keeper took at least 5 or 6 free kicks against Armagh on Sunday. Some of them were no more than about 30 yards out. What the hell are forwards doing in training when they can't kick a point from 30 or 40 yards?!

It's time this was done away with. It eats up too much time. I'd say 5+ minutes was wasted with the keeper coming up to take frees. If a forward took that much time, the ball would have been thrown up.

He missed most of them too

The Original Peter the Great has had his say on Quigley.

McGinnity: Seamie can be the best
18 January 2012


Fermanagh's in-form full forward Seamus Quigley has been compared to Kerry legend Maurice Fitzgerald.

Peter McGinnity, who was the Erne County's first All Star recipient in 1982 and managed Quigley's club Roslea to back-to-back Fermanagh SFC titles in 2010 and 2011, believes the man who has racked up 1-8 in each of his last two games against Antrim and Queen's is the best striker of a ball he has seen since Fitzgerald.

"He must be the most talented kicker of a ball I've seen since Maurice Fitzgerald," McGinnity said in the Irish Daily Star.

"We see him doing things weekly with Roslea in matches that you just wouldn't believe. There is always the other thing, Seamie has a tendency to put on weight. If he ever reaches a really good fighting weight, he'd be unstoppable. I'd probably go as far as to say he'd be the best footballer in the country.

"He can kick equally as well with either foot. He can win ball, he can bring players into it. He loves to score.

"Having said that, he can become frustrated whenever possession is not coming into him. He is a phenomenal striker of the ball. There are very few people in the country who can kick accurately with the outside of the foot."
