A bit quiet on here with the game less than a week away.

How does everyone see this game going?

8 yellows, 3 reds, 2 black (not being racist). Then an injury time winner in extra time from an Armagh player who should have been sent off

Home advantage should be a big help. Can't take Clare for granted good midfielders and forwards.

Actually will be a really tough game, Armagh have not a great record at home but considering where Clare are coming from it is def more of a hindrance for them. Probably evenly matched in fairness and could go the wire this one...Draw? Looking forward to it TBH...Win this and get that Laois dirt would be good

On paper Clare would be the better side but being at home at 3pm on a Saturday must be a big advantage for Armagh. I can't imagine Clare will have any more than a couple of hundred supporters whilst Armagh will have a big support and in a tight contest, that could be the difference.

Folks, is there any chat of any of the u20s being involved on Saturday. Most notably, mcquillan, Duffy or O'Neill.

Better anywhere than the Athletic Grounds. Maybe SKY would consider Armagh Clare instead of Kildare Mayo in Croke Park?

No, they're not on the senior panel so will not be available for selection.

Baffling if true.

We lack a cutting edge up front. You would think having these lads available for a cameo at the very least or to have a look at them in training to see how they cut it should not be ruled out?

Will ArmaghDieselTV be charging people £5 again to listen to Fearon but not actually see anything while the screen buffers for 70 mins?

Not ArmaghTVs fault you have sh i te Internet in Tyrone.

I imagine attention in Clare will be on hurling this weekend and few will travel. However, Armagh have not seen much of a home advantage of late.

Armagh tiddling along nicely. Another win on the cards here. If they draw say Laois in the next round, the Super 8s is a real possibility. That is a scary thought given their performance against Fermanagh.

Not sure about that illdecide, is that a rule? I heard that Ross McQuillan was drafted into the senior panel last night.
