Well, the Dubs never lost, one draw in a group game v Roscommon. Armagh also failed to win once in a group game v Tyrone. Their other 2 losses were draws in normal time, draws after extra time, then losing on penalties. When I put it in writing, it looks far from what Dublin achieved, but you sort of know what I mean?

They seem to fall on the wrong side of the coin in a lottery.

No, I'm drawing a line between periods of large-scale immigration. Simple as that. You're trying to put words in my mouth. You may want to engage in semantics, but my point was that massive demographic change is not good for the host society in the long run.

its not as simple as that..

semantics? we are not being colonised..That's not semantics. loads of empty rhetoric

[Their record last year in the Championship was nearly as good as the All-Ireland winners]

Have Armagh been punching above their weight in recent years, or have they underperformed? Or neither?

I don't know.

Their record last year in the Championship was nearly as good as the All-Ireland winners, but also didn't see it over the line 3 times.

Funny team.

How do you figure that?

I live in the sticks and I would always buy a ticket if someone calls, I've bought tickets recently for draws in Derry, Tyrone and Monaghan as well as a few Armagh clubs.

Something different from Derrynoose, closing date June 1st. I believe there are 2 Gerry Arthur's tickets up for grabs if you enter before 9pm tomorrow.

Very low would be what we had prior to 1992. Massive demographic change is now.
The plantations were still immigration. You can play with words all you like, but that's what is was - organised immigration. Was it good for the host society? Were the early waves of immigration to the 'new world' good for the host societies? Was the immigration of Jews to the Middle East a good idea?(!) Will the current massive demographic change be good for Ireland?

immigration and colonisation are not the same. Are you suggesting they are and what's happening now is organised immigration/colonisation?

you want to go back the 80s when over 400,000 had to emigrate. the 'massive demographic change' seems to doing alright for the country compared to the 80s.

Who made the decision on the staff? was it Ratcliffe (minority share holder) or the Glazers (majority) that  stopped Betsy from getting her husband a ticket and charged her £20 quid for the bus to Wembley?

Personally I think they have done them a favour and saved them a horrible day out

I don't know, maybe the "Operations Manager"?

Favour or not, not every year you make a cup final and I'm sure a jolly to London, a bed for the night and a match ticket is a really really big deal for ordinary folk on minimum to average industrial wage.

It's certainly the last two years in a row.

So it's not Ratcliffe but the operations manager?

I've a friend who's daughter dates somebody who's a marketing manager at City, he gets the same wage that he got in his last marketing job.

Just because they are loaded, people get paid to do a job, not overpaid, and yes him and his girlfriend are heading to Wembley, mainly because City can't fill their own stadium 

Exactly what part of Jim Radcliffe and having full operational control is it that you're having difficulty understanding.

Is being tedious something you have to work very hard at or does it just come natural.

They could win this or get convincingly beat. I wouldn't be surprised by either.

My head is sore!

Look, it's simple Ireland is part of the EU, we have do our share and a duty of care also to people that come to this island and claim asylum, are some of them wrong? Dam tight they are and what needs to happen is a better process to fix it.

Burning hostels and hate marches not going to fix it
