Hoping to head down to the match next weekend. Mustn't forget to bring my Union Fleg 

Anyway, what's to do in Portlaoise? And how often is there a train to and from Dublin?

Very little.

Billy Sheehan looking forward to this game.

I reckon we should bring Willie Frazer down to Port Laois with us on Saturday. He's from Armagh after all, and if ever the rights of British Citizens were denigrated, it was in this location last March, and shame on the GAA for their failure to prosecute those responsible!

[T Fearon]

I'll even buy him a couple of horsemeat burgers!

From your mates in the 'RA?

Portlaoise.

This group of young Cullyhanna residents are getting their flegs out for the trip to Maryborough.

[laoislad]

Will both anthems be played before the game?

Armagh has adopted "By the shores of Lough Neagh" to the tune of "Oben am jungen Rhein".

Couple of great wee bars in portlaoise. Down there for the royal rumble between the derrytresk kneecapers and the dromaird bashers. We stayed in abbeyleix so I suppose anywhere is better than that place!!!

And in Crossmaglen wee Willie drives through
The Union Jack will never fly
And when ye jear wee Willie crying
Itll be those fighting men from Crossmaglen

[theticklemister]

Its my own british home, far across the foam
Where often times i've left, to belfast I did roam,
No matter where we wander, throughout the union near or far
My fleg is at home in the old border, in the unionist county of armagh

[Armamike]

Hopefully Laois will behave themselves better this time.

Hopefully Laois will behave themselves better this time.

Hopefully your lot won't be as sensitive this time.

[LCohen]

No doubt there will be a bit of banter in the crowd but hopefully it will be limited to the friendly variety.

The game is likely to need a strong ref. Rory Hickey was poor in the AI club final and needs to be better

[theticklemister]

Leave poor Ciaran McKeever alone ya lousy hoors!!
