Armagh Club football & hurling

[Armagh Exile]

Any changes or news from the Armagh Convention last night?

[IVEDECIDED]

I dont consider Cross decision to train one night a week for a few months arrogant I consider it good management. You cant train your team half to death all year and expect to be fresh for big games. Which is more important training or matches? Unfortunately I think whats wrong with football is people put too much emphasis on training etc. I know a club that only trianed one night for six weeks and were winning all round them, they then stepped it up to two nights plus intensive training weekends in the build up to a big game and were obliterated! No prizes for guessing who it was. In my opinion if you were able to play well on a Sunday then you wouldnt have to train at all!!

And how would you manage to play well on a sunday if you never trained?

[IVEDECIDED]

I was being hypothetical son I wasnt suggesting teams dont train!

[full back]

Were you being hypothetical as well when you were speaking about the Clans training one night a week & winning all round them?

[IVEDECIDED]

They won 4 or 5 league games on the trot round the middle of the season I think and this coincided with them training once a week. So no I wasnt being hypothetical there son but nice of you to ask.

Guys, seeing since the new intercounty season is just over a fortnight away and there has been no news to the contrary, would it be safe to assume that there aren't going to be anymore retirements from the county team?

Was a bit of speculation in the Irish News today that Francie might retire. Probably won't know for certain until after Cross are out.

Are McGrane and Aidan O'Rourke definetly staying on?

[bennydorano]

Heard Pedar Toal is back on board, given his weights programme for the Winter.  Nippy isn't going back AFAIK.

[winsamsoon]

Yeah apparently Francie took a bad knock to the back of the head and he is suffering from amnesia so he has forgot he has ever won an All Ireland. So he is going to play now till he is fifty and take some young lads place.

Anyone get the Armagh year book? (or whatever its called)
Is it out in shops yet?

[bennydorano]

Yeah got a copy.  It's excellent, well worth a £10er for anyone who's got an interest.

[Real1995]

From the convention Eddie Hughes takes over as vice chairman from Ollie Hearty...went to a vote from what i heard....

[bennydorano]

Is he the Cross delegate?

[crossfire]

I read in yesterdays Irish News that Paady heaney believes that Cross Rangers will be around for another year or two.
