Just watched Simon Harris' inaugural leaders speech at FG Ard Fheis. Not one single word on a United Ireland.  Not one single mention of new constitutional arrangements.  Not one single utterance about the Irish Government preparing for reunification.

Flag shagger when it suits, like every politician that has ever existed.

The only certainty this championship season is that Derry ones are going to be very hard to listen to.

Sure the lucks been hanging out of the penalty Kick Champs (X2), why change anything? just go full of the bull until it goes pear shaped and then think about it.

Any examples of when other Ulster teams didn't go all out to win Ulster and as a direct result they won an AI?

In the second year if the current competition?

Tyrone had a fair degree of ambivalence to the USFC in noughties. But I'm sure that's the response you were waiting for to refute it.

Harte and the players?

"A couple of years we were of the mindset that we were going to win the All-Ireland and were beaten in the first round. It didn't do us any harm. We went on to win it from there twice."

A quote from Sean Cavanagh today funny enough.

Donegal are a horrible team to play against, the game will be pure skitter as a spectacle.

It is a sticky wicket, 3 potentially brutal matches in quick succession while the Dubs & Kerry run their benches.

Don't expect Derry to win Ulster, no idea who will tho.

Talent is there or thereabouts in comparison to any of the top teams , tactical awareness and balls to go for it aren't. The Monaghan game last year still breaks my heart thinking about it, it was cowardly. I haven't had the same interest this year and I'd put it down to that game.

Some people with short memories, was there not a Russian sub at their geopolitical games of the coast of Cork last year?

Watched a great Australian horror film called Talk to Me, really good for that type of film. I'll give it a year or 2 b4 it gets a Hollywood remake.

Is that the one with the hand? Great movie. I'm not a massive fan of horrors but watched this at Halloween and really enjoyed it.

Yip. Loved it

Armagh have no collective balls, that is our biggest problem.

I've defended McGeeney for years, and was in the be careful what you wish for camp but really think he's had his day now.  Hoping for the best now but not expecting too much from the rest of the county season.

McGeeney offering excuses of a bug in the camp and poor last week preparation which might explain a bit of the shitness. Doesn't explain the awful tactics. We failed miserably at the first half decent team we met (not even a real good team).

I always get the feeling with this Armagh management team that we always try to win games playing at 80%, we never show our full hand - always saving it for the real big games that we invariably fail to get to because of our nonsense attitude. We pretend like we're not interested in some games like we're a Dublin or Kerry with hatfuls of medals, again saving ourselves for bigger days that never come.

The 2nd game must have been such an eye opener for McGeeney. We're miles off it, and him playing mind games with himself with absolutely no one concerned about us at all.
