Armagh Club football & hurling

[TacadoirArdMhacha]

By all accounts this years County final will be in the Athletic Grounds which i would welcome wholeheartedly.

Perhaps it will put an end to the griping but i am sure the begrudgers will find something else to gripe about

But if Cross are in this years County final you can bet your life on it that we will win it.

Whatever chance any team has of beating Cross in the 2008 championship it will not be in the final.

Since 1996 Cross have played in 24 finals

Won 22 ...... Drew 2 ...... Lost 0.

Get real lads.

Munster hadn't lost a game in Thomond Park for a decade but Leicester came and beat them last year. These records inevitably get broken eventually.

Health and safety reasons were stated by goh and others for the final being in cross. Why then, could somebody tell me were these so important rules allowed to slide for semi finals?

It's all to do with the expected crowd attending..  I know someone who knows the health & safety office who inspected the ground for the 2006 final when Dromintee kicked had reservations about home advantage and quite simply they were told that there was no other pitch in Armagh that could facilitate the expected crowd.  The options were Newry or Clones, which the county board wouldn't allow as it would have been seen as an embarrassment upon the county..

Maybe all the anti-Cross brigade should setup a thread and direct their venom toward them....

And this thread is for what exactly?

Armagh Club football & hurling ,not anti club hatred chap!!!!

Just back from watching Clann Eireann v the Tones as I happened to be in Lurgan tonight. 2 very average teams although Clann Eireann can feel rightly aggrieved not to have at least drawn this match.

Referee gave most decisions to the visiors including a highly controversial  winning point at the death where one umpire (Tones) signalled point and the other (CE) wide. Draw would have been fair enough to be honest.

Ryan Henderson starred for the home side kicking a lovely point off Moriarity (Amragh starter - yeah right) to level late on.

Whoever missed the goal chance in the 2nd half for Clann Eireann should be ashamed of themselves - they were so close to the open net you would swear they kicked it back out again.

THINK HENDERSON SCORED ALL CLANN EIREANN POINTS

[qub la la la]

henderson is only dangerous when playing in the full forward line. dont understand why clann eireann are playing him at right half forward. talking to a tones man today and he said they were happy seeing him line out at number 10 but he was a real danger when moved inside.

[winsamsoon]

The guy that missed the open goal was james Burns aka county panellists on the armagh county panel a few years back. Remember he came on as a sub in the Armagh/ derry Ulster final and gave the ball away to a derry man. Then big anthony stepped up with the free and put it wide. But anyone can miss an open net  lads it wouldn't be a hanging offence.

Anyway it looks like a great day for the gaelic today lads. get your money on Derry to beay Kerry @5/2. The harps lads, now don't be crying when the blues beat ya's today in the league  Up the clans.

Clann Eireann beat An Portmor by 3. Any other results?

Cullyhanna 0-14 Dromintee 0-09.

Good, clean game of football. Dromintee played well in the first and led 7-5 at the turn. Cullyhanna kicked some lovely scores in the second and were well worth the win.

just home from the tones bridge game tones won by a point.  the ref(jimmy me kee) didnt do us any favours.  we shot ourselves in the foot as we didnr relase the ball into the forwards early despite conor coleman and finn mo dominating midfield. 

bridge a decent side with some dangerous forwards.  thought number 5(stefan..?) had a good game for the bridge 2
