Westmeath v Armagh (Sat 08.07.17) Cusack Park, 7pm

[illdecide]

Should be a good game and i'd expect Armagh to sneak this one, Armagh will bring a big crowd to the midlands so stock up your bars with Buckfast and extra Garda to keep them in check

has the venue been decided as I thought there was a further draw to decide home/away status?

[T Fearon]

Armagh do not have a good record in Mullingar.

Venue hasn't been confirmed but Westmeath will be at home and it will be played in Cusack Park. Tough draw, only Cavan would have been tougher, needed Wexford or Cavan after yesterday to get us moving again, but at least we have it at home.

Fair point, i may have jumped the gun there when i seen Westmeath named first. Sure i can change the title if it's reversed

[lurganblue]

Not the worst draw for Armagh IMO. Would have preferred a home draw but you cant have everything.  I also had a wee fancy for another match up with Tipp following our league collapse.

Hard to know whether Westmeath will now be completely shot of any confidence or highly motivated to prove that they arent as poor as yesterday showed (obviously Dublin could do that job on a lot of counties).

That's what I thought as well so first out of the bowl didnt give home advantage, instead there was a second draw to determine home advantage?  That's what he said before the draw on the radio anyway.  Maybe the second draw was done there and then and I missed it.

Good pairing for both teams, 50/50.

There was a second draw. It just happened at the same time.

There were 3 pots. The 4 semi final losers in one pot, and the 4 qualifier winners in the other.
They drew a cannister out of each pot, and placed it unopened in the third pot.
Then they rooted around and drew out the home team from that third pot first, and opened both.

Cusack Park, 7pm.

Def looks like a night in Mullingar singing Joe Dolan songs

[bennydorano]

I'll be on holidays but I doubt it'll be the primary TV attraction anyway. Wexford v Monaghan will presumably by the choice?

[seafoid]

John Heslin could go to town on the Armagh FB line.

[Targetman]

After watching Westmeath yesterday I'd be surprised if Armagh don't win this fairly easily, imagine going to Westmeath training this week, morale can't be good

[naka]

Armagh defence still very porous
Fermanagh had a few goal chances
They need to close down the middle
For me it's a toss up.

[Wildweasel74]

Seriously a toss up against a team that shipped 31pts@ if thats where you think armagh are more the pity

[Syferus]

Armagh should throttle them, to be honest. Might be best for everyone involved as it should force the Westmeath CB to remove Cribbin.
