Had a meeting last night to see what championship we would be playing in. According to a few of the committee the championship draws are on Wednesday.

At least that looks like an attacking team with a bit of pace in it. Where has murtagh been?

Bit of a joke if it's true to be honest. Isn't he the one that was over in NY? Heard he was playing well over there but still. We have a fella that has spent the best part of his playing career injured starting and another who hasn't even been in the country transferring back to his club and within a few weeks he's on the county team? I seem to remember a few pages back winsamsoon saying some fellas weren't getting a fair crack/were being over looked, well it would seem there is quite some merit in that argument.

He played well against the poor teams in the league but once Tyrone got to the play-offs he was no where to be seen..bit of a yellow streak in him to which would hardly help in county football...sad to see how far Armagh have went back this last few years when they have to call lads like this in

Has to be a wind up...........I'll believe it when I see it. Dunno about Joe Feeney at wing back.....

thought that myself. was thinking about it last night, maybe try CV at chb, shift mckenna to the wing and move feeney to midfield. he scored 11 points against us in the league last year and spent the majority of the time playing there.

If true just another example of the sticking with the status quo and names of the past

Has Billie Joe's transfer to Cruppen actually happened? Read on another board that he has joined up and is training with Armagh squad, in the Irish News apparently.

I raised this question on orchardcounty.com. Does he deserve his shout for the county in the McKenna any more or any less than John Murtagh given the fact that neither have been playing for their respective clubs in Armagh?

I think it's a complete disgrace that John Murtagh has been called up to the panel. What is the point of lads being on this additional panel (elite/development or whatever it's called) if Murtagh can walk off a plane from NY and straight onto the panel. See O'Rourke saying that he had been playing well in NY and they wanted to have a look at him. Utter rubbish!!
Since when did playing well in a NY championship get you on to an Armagh panel??
He was hardly a regular on the Cross team before he left. IMO he's been living off a good Ulster final performance against Mayobridge some years back for too long.
I'd have reservations about Padden too but Murtagh's inclusion smacks of uncle Donal pulling a few too many strings.
