League is taken seriously. Championship is far better when theres jeopardy rather than another mini league. Anyway just my opinion anyway.

But sure we've enough of them without importing more!Quote from: Armagh18 on November 28, 2023, 08:58:32 AMQuote from: Rossfan on November 28, 2023, 08:44:34 AMAustralia do it the right way. Anyone coming there only gets in if they are going to add something to the country. Only way to do itQuote from: clarshack on November 27, 2023, 11:29:39 PMIf Sinn Fein really wanted into power in the south all they'd have to do is come out and say that immigration would be controlled like in Australia and they would win a landslide victory in the next election.Neither Sinn Féin or the vast majority of us have any intention of leaving the EU.
A bit ironic mentioning Australia where the descendants of the illegal immigrant land robbers decide who can or can't now land there.
can we get rid of the locals who dont add anything to the country then?

Quote from: Ethan Tremblay on November 27, 2023, 05:00:49 PMI understand what is being said about Avra, and the league and championship being separate, it just seems a bit abstract that a senior league team is playing the lowest championship tier. Intermediate wouldn't be as big a shock.If they keep that team together they'll not be far off I reckon. Certainly would have gave Cross a better game than Clans did.
Regarding Cullyhanna, they had been slowly regressing for a while this past 10 years and wouldn't have been competing consistently for senior honors. A bad year last year doomed them to intermediate, but it was always a threat of happening.
I think they will fair grand back in the senior league, but don't be fooled into thinking they are going to be swinging at the top 3/4 teams next year either.
Quote from: statto on November 27, 2023, 01:06:14 PMCulloville were a serious outfit in intermediate. Think they had a few key players injured for the championship, I fancied them to run Cullyhanna close, I'd say they would have only for injuries.Quote from: Smokin Joe on November 27, 2023, 09:09:01 AMThey lost to Culloville towards end of league with their county contingent and they lost their last league game against St Pauls with them also when they had a chance to still win the league. Culloville beat them twice and where deserving league winners.Quote from: general_lee on November 27, 2023, 07:46:51 AMQuote from: ranch on November 26, 2023, 09:39:59 PMAt full strength they're a similar standard of about 10 teams in Armagh who'd all beat each other on any given day. They were short their best players for near 15 years and stayed senior that entire time. They'd a few extra men unavailable for one reason or another last year and got relegated. Not like any eyebrows were raised, they then lost 4 times in the 3rd tier of the leagues this year which IMO shows that was their level.Quote from: general_lee on November 26, 2023, 09:26:45 PMQuote from: SouthOfThe Bann on November 26, 2023, 07:56:57 PMMassive win for Cullyhanna today v Liatroim. Sad to see Armagh abusing the system and senior team playing intermediate but thats what Cavan Club teams are up against.
I for one will be supporting Ballyhaise the underdog in the final.
Cullyhanna were the 18th placed team in the Armagh league structures this season. No cooking the books in Armagh, unlike Cavan.
Do you think if every club in Armagh are at full strength that they're the 18th best team in the county? Personally, I don't. They would push, and probably beat, teams such as Mullabawn, Dromintee, Silverbridge. The fact they're in intermediate due to a poor league performance in 2022, when they were short of their best players, shows why league and championship shouldn't be linked in my view.
Good luck to Cullyhanna in the final, it would be great to see them get a crack at an all Ireland.
In fairness they suffered most of their league defeats with the 3 county men away. They turned into a different team after Armagh were knocked out this summer; at intermediate level the county players make such a difference - as you would hope / expect.

Think this belongs in this thread
Quote from: ranch on November 26, 2023, 09:39:59 PMThey've been poor in the league for a few years and deservedly relegated. Didn't do much in the senior championship either in those years. They've got the house in order now and would expect them to go well in 1B next year and be one of the teams to challenge Cross.Quote from: general_lee on November 26, 2023, 09:26:45 PMQuote from: SouthOfThe Bann on November 26, 2023, 07:56:57 PMMassive win for Cullyhanna today v Liatroim.

Quote from: mrdeeds on November 26, 2023, 05:58:28 PMThe team that was relegated was definitely intermediate standard. They've got a load of lads back, younger lad improved big time and are now on their way back to senior. Although senior in Armagh doesn't mean much sure Cross walked Armagh 2 years in a row and were embarrassed in Ulster.Quote from: intheknowhow on November 26, 2023, 05:46:45 PMQuote from: clarshack on November 26, 2023, 05:25:53 PMBig win for Cullyhanna against Liatroim who are a decent side. Fancy Cullyhanna now to beat Division 1 Ballyhaise in the Final.
Don't worry the Cavan folk will tell you that the league doesn't matter and playing div 1 football is no advantage.
Speaking to Armagh lads I know they say Cullyhanna were a senior team playing intermediate.
Quote from: WT4E on November 25, 2023, 10:47:57 PMNot sure if it's been mentioned but what a game of small margins.Yeah felt for him there but thats the fine margins at this level, sometimes you get the rub of the green sometimes you don't. Looking forward to the other semi and final, should be 2 good close games.
The failed catch at the end by NC player.... he almost turned around expecting the break to be gone but then realised he could of had it and then Glen nicked it when it was loose and go down to kick the winner.
Unlucky NC. Great effort.
