Quote from: illdecide on May 10, 2024, 09:44:32 AMI have this bad feeling in my stomach that this is going to be packed defenses and 15 men behind the ball with cross field passing until we're gonna pull our own hairs out. If this happens Armagh can do one, if i've to go back up that road again losing another close game thru defensive football I swear to f**k i'll crack. If we're gonna lose i'd rather have a go at them and play an entertaining  and enjoyable game of football. Take the shackles off and have a rattle at them!.

Probably 99% of Armagh supporters would agree.
That's just, like your opinion man.

Free the Armagh 15.
Fermanagh and Down were just another day at the office, but Sunday is the day to put all the training and work to good use, let's hope they do.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

I will watch as a neutral, usually I would try to support the Northern county over the ROI but Geezer and Co. are a hard bunch to support. Hopefully they can engage in a brawl for neutrals entertainment.

Have Armagh been punching above their weight in recent years, or have they underperformed? Or neither?

I don't know.

Their record last year in the Championship was nearly as good as the All-Ireland winners, but also didn't see it over the line 3 times.

Funny team.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

They could win this or get convincingly beat. I wouldn't be surprised by either.

How do you figure that?

Well, the Dubs never lost, one draw in a group game v Roscommon. Armagh also failed to win once in a group game v Tyrone. Their other 2 losses were draws in normal time, draws after extra time, then losing on penalties. When I put it in writing, it looks far from what Dublin achieved, but you sort of know what I mean?

They seem to fall on the wrong side of the coin in a lottery.

We know what you mean.  Armagh due a bit of luck and Sunday could be the day for it, if not...

Armagh/Donegal play next Sunday in the Ladies Ulster final, would it have been that hard to agree a financial arrangement with the Ladies to get a few quid from tomorrows gate and have a double header?

That would be too much like common sense for the GAA to do.

That was a semi-final last year. I suppose these fixtures are not planned on the basis of certain teams being involved. In the Ladies, Armagh v Donegal is the expected final, but in the men it was less certain who would be there. With the same team involved in woman and men, a combination makes sense, but not so much if different teams were involved.
Which was a semi-final.

Backed the draw, both teams will be very edgy and will be score for score..
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

You'd be happy with nil:nil.

As an Armagh man I don't fancy us to win an arm wrestle. We won't out run or out-fist-pass Donegal. They have loads of long range scoring ability. But we have a different gameplan if we are brave enough to deploy it.

I think we need to gamble to win. Playing safe won't cut it.
