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

[seafoid]

If Armagh were efficient you would expect them to win. But Armagh are not efficient.

Would you even go as far to say, that they are inefficient?

I would just say McGeeney

[Syferus]

The only variable there is that Westmeath will have been expecting a significant beating. They'll have hoped to keep it within 10 points and stick with Dublin for 40 or 50 minutes. But their approach meant, I'm sure, that they realised there was a chance of a battering if it went wrong. Their body language looked like that. They weren't thick or upset at how it was going. More deflated.

I'd say that would be an easier sell. It's not like they were beaten 15 points by Offaly after expecting to win.

Leinster teams expect to get beaten by Dublin and while the margin turned out to be unusually large the result was expected. A much better Armagh team saw in 2008 who a team beaten by Dublin can get their mojo back. Armagh should win, on balance, but Westmeath may still be trying, whereas the likes of Leitrim would not.

Leitrim would give a similar amount of effort as this Westmeath team.

That was one of your most useful contributions, Syferus.

Thanks.

Is anyone aware of James Morgan's injury? and how long he's likely to be out for?

Guys do you think it's realistic to attend Celtic v Shamrock Rvs game next Sat (3:00pm kick off in Tallaght) and make it to Mullingar for Armagh game for 7:00 throw in? I know in normal circumstances it is but on match days and traffic is it realistic? (any of you guys know the craic getting out of Dublin and To Mullingar)

That sounds feasible Illdecide, assuming you'd be leaving Tallaght at 5ish, around the M50 to the M4 exit, then an hour to Mullingar.

Soccer game would be over at 5pm and it should not take more than an Hour and a half to get to Mullingar. You'll be grand! At worst if you are very unlucky you'd miss 10 minutes of the Gaelic Match.

You'll make it comfortably. From a Mullingar man living in Dublin.

I'm hoping to get 18 holes of golf in Belfast on Saturday morning , before driving down. Can everyone else just keep out of my way?

Who do you think you are, the Orange Order?

40 mins from M4 junction to Mullingar going at legal speed
watch out for the boys in blue with the speed gun at the Killucan exit

[bennydorano]

Question - If the game happened to be on Sky next Saturday, could I watch that on my Skygo app in Spain, assuming the wifi is good enough, or do they nobble it some way cos you're abroad?
