Armagh Club football & hurling

[crossfire]

So boring

[winsamsoon]

Once again the glipe known as pints as buted into another discussion without actually giving an opinion on the issue at hand. Says a  lot about that guy. Have an opinion pints and quit sniping at other people who have the taws for a proper debate.

I think now corn you are beginning to argue the point that i was making to you all along. That point was that Dromintee cannot be considered the seconds best or the best challengers to cross because they simply have won nothing. In the same way as Clans, Harps , Ogs etc cannot be considered in this role. Getting beat in the championship semi's and finals doesn't count for nothing as you like ourselves haven't won anything in terms of championships.

Doire you say that the clans haven't beaten Dromintee either and this is correct but we sure didn't play them every year in the championship. We have only played Dromintee three times in the championship over the last 13 years. The fact that we have came second to them does this make us their nearest challengers??? Of course not. If we looked at the the roll of honour for Armagh senior football over the last 12 years we would firstly see a massive list of cross for the championship we would see 1 Dromintee league 1 mullaghbawn 1 cullyhanna 7 Clan Na Gael and the rest are probably cross. That is what any outsider would see if they examined the roll of Honour of Armagh football. They wouldn't see any runner up places or beaten semi finalists. Now i am not sitting here claiming that the clans have been the nearest rivals to the cross. I am merely saying all teams are the nearest challengers because no one has beaten them. Some teams may be more capable than others but they are certainly no nearer.

I love the way that every so often there is this crazy row over who is the second best team in Armagh(snigger,snigger)

[full back]

You can win all the lkeagues you want and so can we, but until a team beats Cross it doesn't matter one bit.

Case closed

P.S son, ill decide when the case gets closed!

You decide then
This 'debate' has been running for f**king ages.......
If some team get beat by Cross this year can they join the debate?

The year before they won division 2 with a record no. of points. (No Big Deal)

How many points did Clans drop in their year in division 2?

[corn02]

No lad it doesnt as I said in my initial point I was not campaigning for the importance of the league. Plus the national league is used more and more as trial matches by the bigger counties, this is less so in club football. I would be of the opinion that you cant really compare the two, however I take your point.
I also believe your point about not remembering the year Dromintee won it. I work with Clans ones and I remember having to inform them on a Monday that their team had won the league the previous day. Even this was treated with distain and a who cares attitude. I know for a fact that they would swap all 8 leagues for one championship without thinking twice.
My point is this however, my club certainly wouldnt need reminded about winning league titles or any other kind cause no matter what the competion, if we were in with a shout of winning it the whole club would be in a frenzy for weeks. This tells you how often we win things. The same is for the rest of Armagh unfortunately, whether you agree or not. Outside of Cross and Clans and maybe another, trophies are at an absolute premium with many clubs going decades without any silverware. Thats the exact reason why I cant understand people undermining the winning of a league title!  As ive said this is 1 of only 2 available trophies each year!! 

Jesus man, a decent post for once. For the record I think your a Mullabrack man.

Rufus, is there anyway you could make the Harps thread in to the Clans thread and they could all stay over there and we'll carry on here?
(Not that I can speak anything because I don't live in the country anymore)

Hi pints you should take another 2 of those F**k off tablets you took a few weeks back.

P.S. give that tube of a ref (R Quigley) a couple from the bridge as well

In that case I'd say Clans win the losers competion by quite a bit.

That was almost an opinion on something pints well done you are improving
