Correct me if I'm wrong, but did a lot of these lads play championship football last year?

Was getting carried away

Doherty played about 30 mins last year and Barry ohagan was injured for majority of the season

[Orior]

Great to have some matches to look forward to this weekend, instead of that soccer stuff.

[Itchy]

Majority of games called off this morning. Is it time to insist these McKenna cup games are only scheduled to venues that have option of a Astro pitch. There is no satisfactory way to catch these up due to the close proximity of the league to the pre season tournaments.

[lurganblue]

Saver just calling it a day on these comps and letting teams arrange their own friendlies before the league.

No disrespect to you but we bate Down, what does that make them?

We made the AIQF last year so probably not crap as you so eloquently put it.

[Fuzzman]

And whipping us worked out well for you didn't it

Yeah it meant we got to an AI semi final something ye lads haven't done since 2005 where we lost to the team who have been unbeaten in championship football for 3 years now and have only lost one game in the last 4 years.
Ye made good progress this year getting to an AI quarterfinal and could do the same this year by getting into the super 8s if ye learn from last year. Is JC staying put this year?

Had we kept the same squad I would say that the super 8s were a possibility. As it is, with the players who have opted out, I don't see us getting there.
Jamie Clarke? Who knows. I would be surprised if we see him in orange again but others may know more than me

[Fuzzman]

Who and why have they opted out?
Are people not happy with Geezer again?

[tonto1888]

James Morgan and Ciaran O'Hanlon are travelling as far as I know
Stefan Campbell is playing soccer and not available for the league anyway
Oisin O'Neill has opted out for reasons I don't know and wouldn't want to speculate
And there's Jamie Clarke gone also
There are more but I cant remember them off the top of my head

[Orior]

At half time, Armagh are a man down and are down by 5 points to Jordanstown. Some Armagh players are anonymous!

[FermGael]

Seamies back

[J70]

Fermanagh 3 points up in Donegal with a few left after trailing by 3 at the half

[Orior]

14 men from Armagh snatch a draw!
