Down v Armagh. June 4th

[Targetman]

Only 2 Kilcoo men starting so that's not really an issue, Down will be set up very defensively and that's the worry, will we get enough scores to win it's doubtful but anyway heart rules the head Down by the minimum!

[Owen Brannigan]

So who will won this clash of the once kingpins, now toilet brushes of Ulster?  I reckon Down might just get this cider monkey off their backs!

Strange statement by someone from Antrim.

I've no idea what link he has to St Galls GAC in county Antrim but going by his posts, I'm pretty sure he is a Tyrone man.

Yes lucky enough to be born into the majestic Red Hand county.  St Galls clubman for 15 years.

So. you're really an Antrim man as you have spent longer in Antrim with club membership than you were in a club in Tyrone.

Expect to see the other kilcoo player to start in place of boh
Also Turley to start in place of Murphy
Why can't we just name the correct team.

It's clever psychology. Opponents always take team sheets as literal truth and build their tactical plans around it.

Until recently we were the same. In fact we publish our team 2 or 3 weeks in arrears. We just publish the team that started the previous game, make changes pre throw in and then the team that actually starts is the named for the subsequent game. Gives us a real edge.

Rant over.

Obviously want my own county to win. I'm not a Down hater but if they go super defensive I hope we stuff them. The games to date have been dire. We don't need another game strangled to death

Is B'OH an injury doubt?

[Smurfy123]

Dublin never name a bogus team unless late injuries
BOH fit

I hope Ryan Johnston does start but not at Barry O'Hagan's expense, he's a scorer something we don't have an abundance of, no one knows for sure what 15 will start , or a bigger problem where to park tomorrow?

The good thing about Newry is that you can park your car in Armagh and not pollute it too much by taking it into Down.
The weather shouldn't amount to more than a few showers for this challenge between the visiting Lions and the local Barbarians.

If Quinlivan's goal is anything to go by, the Lions could teach you some lessons in tackling a man through on goal in the last minute.

Lesson learned 

[illdecide]

Don't forget the old pitch in Davitt Park was 154m long, which was 9m longer than the maximum and caught a lot of teams out over the years. Kicking the ball into the full forward line from midfield didn't always get there, of course the scary people of Lurgan was a big factor too and their wives giving out at the wire...is it any wonder teams couldn't get outta there quick enough.

What are the dimensions of the new pitch at Davitt Park?

145m x 82.5m

You should go the whole hog, cross the canal in a boat, jump the fence on the Armagh side of the pitch, so you don't have to enter county Down at all. Don't do it half-arsed, man.

Not a bad idea. I will exit on the Down side after the game though, in celebration.

Down should be stronger psychologically . It's not hard.
