Armagh v Donegal USFC 14/06/2015

[Jinxy]

He's some man for one man.

[T Fearon]

Always a help to win an Armagh Jersey before the first match in the Championship!

Top man drici!

This game is going to be hard to get tickets for...it seems that all online tickets are gone (17 minutes, some sort of Ulster Council record) and only clubs will have them now.

There was over 18000 + kids at the Cavan - Monaghan game. While that was between neighbours, these are bigger counties, Armagh has a tradition of going to games and Donegal are on a roll. There are thousands of people who might go to this game who will not get in.

I see the mind games are starting for this...McGeeney reckons Donegal are soft(ish) and Gallagher has said it will be his hardest game as Donegal have had the luck with home matches...I think Armagh can take them but certainly wouldn't rule out a draw. Should be the game of the Championship up to that date and I reckon there will be fireworks at it (could well be another CAVAN game where there is fisty cuffs before the throw in)...I've been looking forward to this for some time (just hope i'm not disappointed)

If Gallagher is any good then McGeeney's mind games are a waste of time
If McGeeney has anything about him then Armagh will be well fit for Donegal's mind games.

Hopefully there will be a football game somewhere in the middle of this

Armagh operating in div 3 will not help them but this could be game of the year. I think Donegal have slipped and Armagh are improving. Looking forward to this game a lot

[BennyCake]

T, you're a lucky shite, so you are

[general_lee]

Don't think Armagh playing in division 3 will make too much difference on the day. League status doesn't matter in Ulster. Looking forward to a bruising encounter, hopefully a bit of bite in the game after the tame enough fare we've had so far. Anyone care to take a stab at likely line out for Armagh? Any injury concerns?

[illdecide]

It's hard to know unless you're in the camp to know if there are any injuries etc. I'll take a stab at the following.

Geoghan
Mallon
Vernon
Murray
J Morgan
C McKeever
M shields
Findon
Rafferty
T Kernan
Dyas
A Forker
Clarke
Murnin
Campbell (will be brought in or around the middle) (if he gets fit enough in time)

We will have great options from the bench either way...O'Hanlon, Donaghy, C Rafferty, McVerry, Harold, McKenna...there are more guys on the edge of the team too.

The good thing about us now is a bit of strength and depth and no-one will walk onto this team when they're fit...knowing K McGeeney they'll have to earn their spot as there are guys chomping at the bit looking their place too...Things are def looking up.

If we get over this, I think we should be fit to go all the way in Ulster. Big if though.

You Donegal boys are so modest. The AI is a gimme if you get over this one.

As if you Monaghan boys are not confident about winning Ulster this year!

[Wildweasel74]

Seriously, where are Armagh going to get the scores to beat Donegal? Just cant see it!
