Armagh v Kildare 29.07.2017

[Armamike]

I don't think Armagh will get tanked. That's not to say we won't do something daft and find a way of losing the game, but the players will give this one a good rattle and it will be competitive.

Niall Grimley any relation to Paul?

None that anybody knows about

Not related to John or Mark either.

What about Matthew and Luke?

Derek O'Mahoney down to referee.

Where's he from? Has he done Armagh recently?
Great read today in Irish News regarding KMcG's time with Kldare...Jonny Doyle def thought he was the bee's knees

From Tipperary.

Refereed Monaghan vs Fermanagh this year in ulster, Kildare vs Galway league final and Donegal vs Meath I think.

He was escorted of the pitch after the Cavan vs Dublin U21s match in 2014.

Think he sent Moriarity off against fermanagh in the league final a few years ago

I see Liam Kearns in today's Irish News saying Armagh will be hard to stop...WTF has he been watching, they're only now playing a Div 1 team. Yes they have momentum from winning three games in a row but once Kildare match them for intensity then the quality will come into it and then we'll see where Armagh are really at...

Kildare have only played one Division 1 team this year too. Lost by 9 points.

[Oraisteach]

True, Lily, but I thought Kildare looked very good against the Dubs.  The score differential doesn't properly reflect the talent and system that Kildare displayed.  I'm hoping that the Lilywhite fast incisive play doesn't cause panic in the Orange midfield and defense, causing us to resort to the chaotic fouling to which we are prone.  That said, I've been pleased with Armagh's run so far.  As the cliche goes, this match will be the litmus test.  Whether we like it or not, we are a Div 3 team, and everything will be ratcheted up significantly against a war-tested outfit.

Kildare have good forwards. I would be concerned about that if I was managing Armagh

I wonder does the Armagh manager have any sources of information about Kildare, other than posts here?
That said, knowing something and being able to do anything about it are not the same thing.

I was confident enough when this draw was made that Armagh would win this round four tie however I'm not so sure anymore after watching the tanking Galway gave to Donegal and i would consider Galway and Kildare to be around the same level.
