Thought Mal was our best player yesterday - came into the game well and caught some good ball. He kicked a couple of good points although he missed a few as well.

Young soupy, younger brother of thee soupy is 16 and has the makings of a good one. The other midfielder is stephen o hagan who has been playign now for some years and will always give 100%. The clans had a young squad out last night aswell with the majority of the payers between the ages of 18-25. So it was a fine performance with many of them lads making senior debuts.

Lads i see orchardcounty has rebelled and is back up and running. fair play till Barry for keeping the freedom of speech act alive. But i don feel for the other lad who had launched the Armaghcountyfans site. Not sure what way this will leave him as they have closed that site down.

Young Stefan Campbell is now 17 but is still minor next year and yes he is the youngest of the John soupie Campbell family (John has a son about 12 years of age and that cub is going to be like his da (at football to any of you who know John i could have been talking about several matters there).

I didn't know what to expect from that man Casey on the line (Going by what Pints was saying about him, i was expecting a monster) but in fairness he was ok to us and was actually a bit of craic at times. He actually caught a ball on the side line that wasn't out therefore giving possesion back to the clans so he seems a right fella everyone just bursted out laughing when he done this...

St Peter's beat Ballyhegan by 6 points.

2 soft goals & Davitt's inability to convert their first half dominance into scores proved costly.

Peter's improved after the break & won convincingly in the end!

I see the Cross Culloville game was called off . But i heard Culloville weren't to happy with this and were going to claim the points. Any truth in this rumour???

Do you really think they'll get them The same thing happened for this weekend, i was told Ogs and Cross refused to play on the Fri/Sat night and told the county board Sunday evening or nothing. How do they get away with it if it was any other team in Armagh you'd be told when and where to play and if you don't like then hand the 2pts over...

[shot stopper]

Is this why all league fixtures this weekend are Sunday evening rather than Sat??
Sat evening fixtures seem to be preferable for players and supporters. Cant see why they dont become permanent!!

[Malone Aristocrat]

Thats why this weeks games are sunday.

Cross told the county board they'd be withdrawing all of their players from the minor and senior panels if they're game was not moved to sunday night so they could have their county panellists. culloville refused and game was called off. culloville claiming the points and will go all the way to croke park if necessary cos they expect the county board to fold as usual.

Cross are some craic. In the papers last year complaining that noone in armagh would play them a week after claiming points for games they'd agree to refix and now this shite.

The Ogs had actually asked for the game to be played on the friday night.  There was NO ultimatum given though.

[winsamsoon]

Well as i have said before and i think most of you will agree, i don't blame Cross or the Ogs i blame the county board for being weak and not making a stand. The games on a saturday are ideal for supporters and the majority of players as it allows the odd saturday nite out with the missus or the boy friend if that's what you are into.   Also most people are not doing much on a saturday evening and can attend the games. Clubs should not be permitted to hold the county board to ransom. The county team are effectively holding the clubs to ransom also. They are asking the clubs to bend over backwards for the county team and i can assure you if the she was on the other foot there would be no concessions. If this is the case then the county board should have the ghoulies to call their bluff and if need be expose them. Let them pull players out of the county panel . The county will find other players. Then hand out fines for failure to fulfil fixtures and take the points off them. It ain't cullovilles fault the cross can't field their best players. Now i am not saying they cannot be accomodated because if these lads are putting themselves forward for county duty then they should be given the chance to represent their club aswell. However threatening strikes and withdrawals is not the way to go. Sounds like the cork debacle.

[IVEDECIDED]

This Stinks to the high Heavens and cannot be allowed to go unpunished! The county board are too soft with Cross and constantly allow them to be made a mockery off. If I was in the position I would have said to Cross, take your county players back but you wont need them for anything cause your out of the league and championship. ONLY THEN WILL YOU SEE THEM WISE UP. Its an absolute disgrace and I hope some of the county board read this thread cause heres a personal message to yous all - you should hold your heads in shame and disgrace!

Thought it a bit strange this morning to see the club fixtures(in the Irish News) on Sunday evening as I checked the official Armagh website last night and they were down for saturday evening.  Set of stones required somewhere along the line.
