McKenna Cup 2024

[Harold Disgracey]

Linesman was right in front of me and it was a definite wide from my angle. This ref would do your head in.

Ref is also so blind the the steps mcguigan steals.

Yet someone here was yapping about armagh doing it?

Ref v v v poor. Has his chance on tele and making his name. Let the game go ffs.

[Blowitupref]

55 minutes played it was level 2-7 to 0-13 a surprise it took the final quarter for Derry to pull away but win it is and the defending champions into the McKenna cup final. Result Derry 0-17 Armagh 2-7.

[OakLeaf]

Derry defence looked very rusty and not very fit. That game will help us and another game next week will be most welcome.

17 scores to 9 doesn't look great

Let's hope Armagh A squad get a good result v Mayo tonight in Abbotstown.

Whoops. Did I say that out loud?

That challenge I heard was to be played this afternoon in Longford.

Another good competitive outing leading into the league.
McGeeney is definitely earning his coin in his 10th year doubling up on the games. Be better off building solid foundations and a system of play in a bid for promotion / shot at Ulster, will be very fragmented with this carry on...Now that's unbelievable Jeff

I would imagine he knew the u20s would come up short against Donegal and didn't anticipate qualifying as best runner up and that was why mayo game was organised. Good to be getting over 30 lads football a few weeks out from league.

I heard it was Longford as well.

[armaghniac]

After 25 minutes it was Derry with 10 of their team that played in the All Ireland semi last summer 0-4 2nd choice Armagh team 1-4. Unbelievable Jeff!

Further proof that Sam is a shoe in for Our Ma this year

Not necessarily, but sure proof that Derry should not rate their chances too highly.

I heard the Saudis are offering Armagh big money to host it.

Not too many teams about will rate their chances once McGeeney merges the Armagh A, B and C teams... Scary prospect

I would agree with this in comparison to previous seasons where they were at championship pace from day 1. Maybe slightly diff approach this year

[screenexile]

Bar the goals Derry were comfortable for most of that. Would we rather have had a weekends rest before Kerry? Hard to know maybe it is best to keep momentum up.

Cormac Murphy definitely looks like he could make a step up and possible Gilmore so it's been a good McKenna Cup in that regard.

Maybe the A team are the ones who know how to tackle although they haven't shown it this last 10 years!
