Any Armagh posters. What's the story with Oisin O'Neill? Will both brothers be missing or are either likely to come back for championship. if rumours are true

dont think we will see Oisin this year. Dont know whats going on with Rian

Had been wondering where Oisin was. Did he miss all of last year too? Is it a run of injuries?

He had a substantial operation in London to address an Achilles injury and isn't match fit yet in recovery from that.
He'd need to be playing for the club before he could envisage a return to county.

He missed all last year with the club as well didn't he? Fully fit he would be a massive player for armagh

Where would he play? Midfield or closer to the goals? Would he be similar level of quality to Rian?

Surely needs a thread of it's own?

Is it true that the dual players in clubs will have something like 35/40 games between league and championship this year in the space of 3/4 months? Surely that's too much for amatuer players no?

Well there are 13 league games in the football & guaranteed 6 championship group stage games (potential for 3 more- QF/SF & Final) so there's potential for 22 football games. Wouldn't be sure of the furling formats at all.

Hurling has an early season league, an actual league and then group stages for championship which then decides if you're senior, intermediate or junior. Roughly 16/17 games before knockout in championship I think.
Seems it will be Sunday, Wednesday Sunday for the dual players basically every week

sounds brilliant, much better than training.

I'm all on for games, but 6 championship group stage games is horrendous. Has to be the worst format in Ireland.

Awk now, they’re well paid.

Fuel through the roof, tyres not cheap either, probably missing out. But sure some people know better

I imagine that was tongue in cheek

So was mine

MR2 what way does it work, do reffs get a set fee for the match then mileage? Cheque monthly?

Fair play to ye's BTW, I honestly couldn't ever do it myself.

Some of the messages on here this week are hard to believe. Why aren’t players calling Gallagher out? Why was Tohill not given a chance? Jesus wept, if you don’t know the answers to them then maybe Gaelic Football isn’t the sport for you.

It's only a discussion and, from a player point of view, a valid one.

Taking a player off, with a full bench available and then puttjng said player on again is a bit strange from the rest of the subs' point of view.

Imagine doing that in a club game. What would the other subs say?

This is a discussion board.  Strange that people want to close any discussion down.  It's not a criticism of RG, only an observation and a valid one at that.

Mickey Harte with God?

It would be fairly common aswell in games that go to Extra Time.

If you have the chance to get county footballers into your club, you take them. That would be my thinking anyway.
