Why on earth would you get tested the week of a championship match?

Seriously?

GAA Discussion / Armagh v Derry November 1st

What we reckon? Hopefully Armagh can continue with the momentum of getting to division one and run out handy winners. More like scenario is it'll be very tight with us giving away a lot of trees and hopefully scraping over the line

Who can Celtic bring in to save the day

Ideally you'd want a guy who can hit the ground running.

The kind of manager you bring in mid season is usually a different beast to what you'd bring in at the start.

Someone like a Big Sam maybe?

Big Sam hahahahahahahhahaha

Well done Roscommon...best team in the Division and deservedly won it, I think Armagh deserved second place (Just). If we can gather a few more defenders and a goal keeper we'll do rightly but one thing you're guaranteed with Armagh is a Rollercoaster ride. Lets hope the League is with the fans next year when it starts as this is Pish not being able to go and shout "Gwan ref ya bollix ya"...lol. The thought of the Dubs in a full house Athletic Grounds is mouth watering but please virus feck off.

Even if fans are allowed back for the league, I don't see them allowing enough back for full stadia sadly

Will Armagh blow their chance this weekend? I'm always the fan of playing at the highest level possible so i want them to get promotion but we need to do something with our defence. Mark tighter and FFS stop fouling. The good thing is everyone has something to play for (except Fermanagh) so games should be competitive. The game for Armagh last week should have brought them on a bit from their few weeks of no preparation due to Covid-19.

Experience says we will. Even if we are ten up with a few minutes to go it won't be certain. Hopefully lessons will be learned from last week. Though how long have we been saying that. Anyway, I remain optimistic. Maybe

The Trial of the Chicago 7, an excellent enactment of the 1968 Chicago police riots and subsequent attempt of the then recently elected Nixon's administration to charge selected civil rights activists and others on conspiracy of incitement to riot and crossing state lines.

Hmm,   that charge still sounds familiar but obviously does not apply to good ol' boys and their ilk.

It's very very good. Well worth a watch

I believe elite means that you are earning your living from that sport?

Hardly. There are elite amateur sports.

There is a bit more to it alright
For the purposes of this guidance the definition of an 'elite athlete' means a person who is:

an individual who derives a living from competing in a sport
a senior representative nominated by a relevant sporting body
a member of the senior training squad for a relevant sporting body, or
aged 16 or above and on an elite development pathway.

If the GAA are using the Elite line they should be forced to put all 32 teams in hotels from this weekend until they are out of the tournament. 6 weeks for the finalists, pay all players wages for that period. Treat it like a world cup, squads of 30 named 10 of backroom teams no outsiders in or out of camp. But they wouldn't pay for that.

And i'm not anti GAA but believe that's only way to be both safe and fair.

I'm fairly sure this isn't happening for the other elite games going on in the league of ireland or pro 14. Does this mean they aren't elite either?

I believe elite means that you are earning your living from that sport?

Is it safe to assume if Armagh beat Clare next week they get promoted?

Unless Westmeath won by 20 odd
