Why do they do the draw for this before the provincial finals?

It's a good question.  Some teams might now be thinking a loss wouldn't be the end of the world, so it takes the edge off things.

Is there a shield for the 4 bottom teams ?
Away to feckin Dublin again, 7 days later Mayowestros (unbeaten since 2001 in the Hyde) or Galway ( 1991) will leave us in bad shape for Cavan.

Good to see the Penalty Kick Champs are mentally recovering from their embarrassing home defeat to plucky Division 2 Champs Donegal. Certs for the AI.

Better than being serial losers

All teams in that group will expect to beat all teams in that group.

Stating the obvious 😉

The draw suits me. At the start of the year I posted that I wanted Derry to give Armagh another sickener in an Ulster final. I didn't get that but they can always sicken them in Celtic park.

Any visit to Derry is always puke inducing, but perhaps we'll beat Donegal who can then go to Derry and give you another lesson.

Ouch!

There is unfortunately a big lout element that follows Armagh, Lurgan is the biggest town in the county so proportionally has more louts. It is also geographically further for fans to travel to any other county ground in Ireland so the buckfast brigade get at least an extra half hour drinking time on the bus than anyone else. Thats not to say there are louts from every corner of the county, I've seen my fair share of hallions make fools of themselves and they're weren't Lurgan people.

Plenty of them from every county. I've seen loads of Donegal lads pished in Clones an hour before a game was due to start, and I'm sure people could tell stories about Donegal wans who were headwrecks to be beside. I've been at loads of games with Armagh people - never had a single bit of bother. On the contrary they were always a bit of craic and everyone wished each other the best afterwards no matter what the result.

Time to start turning a few of them away at the turnstiles.

Ah look I can say the same about people from any county- plenty of arseholes who (drunk or sober) will do nothing but shout abuse at players/officials and usually know as much about football as I do about brain surgery. Been at games with ones from other counties- yes even Tyrone who I've had the craic with and wished well for the next round.

Am happy enough with Derrys draw, we likely got the weakest 1st seed, though both are strong at home, could got a easier 2nd seed, but I think we stronger than any team in our group. Harte has a long lead in time for abit of planning.
