Southgate will be manager for next season. He would have been there had the 2022 World Cup been in the summer

It's hard to keep up with what is happening and not everything can be televised. GAA people have developed expectations about what will be available. And the football product isn't what it used to be either.
Agree with everything here. People's expectations need to be reined in. It is ridiculous to expect every single game to be free to air all of the time, but that seems to be the hill that some are dying on.

First of all I'm completely biased here and i know it. Cavanagh is quite probably the worst pundit in history. His lack of research is appalling, on a par with Spillane and Brolly, but he's just no loquacious enough to cover it up. He has an odd sense of humour. And his sense of place - I.e. talking about grassroots - always seems based on what he reads on Twitter rather than what's happening in an actual club.
So what did he say that's incorrect? From my perspective he's taking swipes and he doesn't have the foggiest what it is he's swiping at. He's just throwing out irrelevances. Joining in on conversation that he doesn't care much about, and accidentally taking it off on a new angle that nobody needs.
Worse than Tony Davis?

Loved Nevermind when it first came out, but Nirvana are just a little too raw, too intense for a soft old chap like me.
I do think your music tastes change as you get older. I was a big U2 fan but I struggled to name a top 3 for them.
I find myself now pulling towards Neil Diamond and Kris Kristofferson. My younger self would hate me lol.
Rightfully so!

Quote from: armaghniac on May 13, 2024, 05:11:10 PMThere is a great deal of shite on discussed on this matter. Some guy was on the radio there, likely a politician, saying that "Sky had been better as most people have Satellite TV", which is completely untrue, while in reality far more people have broadband. He then said that it should be on RTÉ and advertisers would bid for slots, but RTÉ hasn't much money to give to the GAA and there are people who are not paying their TV licence ranting about games not being on TV.
There is a loss of visibility to the GAA in not having this game on TV, and that too has its price, but there has to accurate discussion of the situation, not fantasy. For one thing, RTÉ is supposed to serve everyone and this aim might not be compatible with having 20 hours of GAA each weekend. Virgin Media does nothing, which it would if advertisers really were interested.

Quote from: Armamike on May 13, 2024, 10:21:30 AMThis is getting hard to take at this stage. It's ok sucking up one near miss on penalties but 4 now in 2 years? Forgive me as an Armagh supporter for never wanting to see penalties in our games again. For any of you neutrals who think it's great entertainment, be careful what you wish for. A lot said here and elsewhere about penalties being a lottery? Sorry, that's nonsense. It's down to skill and composure. If it was a lottery on the law of averages we would have won 1 or 2 out of those 4.
For me it's hard to escape the notion that we do have a mental block when it comes to seeing out a game, and especially when we are in front. I've got to the point now where I would rather we were a couple of points behind going into the final minutes where we don't have to think to much about it and just for for it. 4 points up in a game like that where 2 teams set up defensively was a big advantage heading into the last 15. We just had to match Donegal on the scoreboard but we stopped scoring completely. Just one or two points in that final 15 or 20 minutes would have won it. Collectively I think there's a lack of nous and smartness in decision making when the pressure is on, and I don't see a go-to player who will demand the ball and do something to get us over the line, whether that is a crucial high catch in the middle, having the confidence to nail an important score, or a driving run to set up somebody. To be fair I thought Nugent showed some of that confidence and attitude but there wasn't enough.
Really feel for the management and players though. It's a tough one to take and will be hard to motivate themselves. McGeeney has had so many near misses with Armagh and Kildare. He must feel bloody cursed at this point.
Quote from: Keyser soze on May 13, 2024, 09:56:42 AMThat was a great watch, fair play to both teams for a brilliant effort, that could have gone either way. Horrible for Armagh players [and supporters] but that's sport I spose. Unbelievable that there are posters saying that was a poor quality game!
Can't fathom why 2 Armagh players refused a mark to win the game with time nearly up.
Penalties no way to decide a game, better to keep playing periods of extra time until there's a winner IMO.
Armagh are there or thereabouts, I would say McGeeney has them at near their max on most days out. He mightn't be the best manager about but for sure there a plenty worse. For those of you who want him out and there are plenty on here, who is coming in to replace him that's obviously better?
It is easy to talk the talk but if that translated into the real world there are a couple of guys on this board who would be doing goals for Armagh in a penalty shootout lol
PS Soupy Campbell is one of the most exciting players to watch I have ever seen.

Quote from: omagh_gael on May 12, 2024, 04:31:03 PMf**k this is shite, playing against Donegal is now just a game of defenders v attackers. There have been some class scores but no jeopardy in the game, hardly any 50/50 contests and zero atmosphere.

The Dubs are hard to beat at home.
