Armagh Club football & hurling

[flog the lot]

What is the reason for Friday night games this week...is it the 14 day rule allowing county players to play??? or have Armagh got a friendly on sunday or something?

don't know the reason for this, but alot more matches should be played on fri or sat note so the players can have a social life and get out for a few beers!...

Aye thats what i thought myself...it won't effect us as we don't have anyone on the county panel hopefully Armagh win the thing and the clubs do without their county men untill October although your predication of July looks a safer bet

Wrong saan it will effect us because we play Cross on friday night and they will be at full strength. Now the rest of the teams will get to play them under strength.

Plenty of teams have played Cross with their county men earlier in the year and over the past fortnight.

That would include us numb skull as we played them two sundays ago. so i fail to see the point you are trying to make.

You were yapping about having to play Cross at full strength as though you were the only team that had to. You aren't. That is all.

Yapping??? This is clearly not true if you can see such emotions from a computer then you are a genius. The point i was making (which didn't really involve you) was to I'lldecide he made the point that it wouldn't effect the clans. I merely said that it would because we were playing them on friday night (at full strength) whilst others will get to play them over the next couple of weeks under strength. This is not yapping this is a fact If you term this yapping then fair enough but it really doesn't pay to be padantic and try and scrutinise every wee issue and phrase thinking you can win brownie points. Very sad actually.

Cross full strenght or not, doesn't matter. Look at the league table boys, they're still winning. You could also make the point of playing other clubs minus county players, eg. ourselves were the county boys are a bigger loss to us. Again, you could look at it another way, is it fair for teams having to play without the county boys. There's loads of ways of looking at it. The league is the way it is now and there's no changing it

Great result for dromintee on sunday evening - 2 much needed points. great performances from barry shannon and aidan & Michael o'rourke amongst mostly good performances. good to see our players taking a bit of responsibility.

ogs are struggling.

4 on the bounce?  Been hearing rumours of some of the more senior players unsettling others.

I always try to look at things on this board from at least some sort of neutral perspective but it is really hard for me to like the Harps ones 

[winsamsoon]

you are spot on ogs head but the original post was in response to i'lldecide who is a clans man so we were specifically talking about the clans. Of course there are twenty different arguments and god knows we have had them all on here

I cant just feel the love on this thread

god, youd nearly think everything was rosy over at the harps now after a win over bottom of the table newtown. how about focusing on helping your own team getting back up to division 1 instead of worrying about clubs who are in a much better position than you at the minute. as el cuervo said, you didnt see any ogs posters commenting on your situation.

Well, only repeating what a well placed source told me.

[pearseog]

well its not true. the harps posters wernt happy on here when 'well placed sources' said nudie was sacked. like i said, focus on your own club like we focus on ours.

cruppen beat culloville 2 -13 to 1 - 11. that moves cruppen from 2nd from bottom to joint third i think. gonna be very tight this year. wouldnt rule out a playoff between some of the teams in div 1.

Some great role models in Armagh football...I see from the Gaelic Life that one of the young prospects hoping to fill McGrane's boots enjoys going down the loughshore for a carryout following a big win...inspirational stuff!!!

And whats your point as long as he's not doing it before a match then who cares how he celebrates after a win I think you forget these are amateur footballers who sacrifice a lot and if they can't let their hair down now and again then there wouldn't be too many doing it
