Armagh Club football & hurling

[illdecide]

Don't want to condem them lads but i have to agree with most of you that Swift should be there. There has to be some reason why he was put of the panel as a blind man can see he has more ability than some of them guys selected for the National League. I don't know tha lad maybe he has attitute problems or maybe doesn't put the effort in but on ability he should be included.

As for R Austin i don't know what the score is with him

[goal and a point]

what about JP Donnelly?

[winsamsoon]

Just heard the 1/4 finals of the armagh senior championship will be on the 6th of september. I wonder why the dates have been put back so late??

Dromintee have meet them in earlier rounds and therefore haven't really got an opportunity to reach many finals but they still have never run cross close

No because the last two seasons they have been dumped out in early rounds albeit by cross. Plus they have 
Crossmaglen Rangers 0-13
Dromintee / Droim an Tí 0-11}2003
Crossmaglen Rangers 2-10
Dromintee / Droim an Tí 1-8}2002
Crossmaglen Rangers 2-8
Dromintee / Droim an Tí 1-7}2001

Well there goes the 1-3 point stat you came up with!! That second statement i made Uladh is this wrong?? have Dromintee not been beaten by cross before the final stage in the last two years? You say that no other team in armagh have beaten Cross in championship football in the last 8 years, well this is correct but you overlook the fact that Dromintee are amoung this list . No TEAM has beaten Cross. But when i listen to some of the guys here posting about Dromintee you would think they have actually won the championship or beaten Cross. The fact is they haven't and until they do this they will be classed as the same as all the other challengers. They are merely challengers as are The Ogs, Mullaghbawn and many other clubs. These are basic facts that you must recognise. It does'n matter whether you get beat In final after final if you don't win then you just become another forgotten statistic.

Winsam - i can't believe you're being serious here?

you actually can't read in my post that it says not other team has beaten Dromintee for 8 years?

noone is disputing that Dromintee are noone is near cross. what i am disputing is that even your own facts make your claims that dromintee have never run cross close ridiculous. there'd be very few cross men would agree with that.

not surprising that you've changed your argument now from not getting to finals to not mattering when you lose to cross after being shown up as plain wrong.

noone disputes that there are 4/5 teams with an equal chance of beating cross (slim), including clans. but to not recognise that dromintee have been slightly better than those 4/5 or over 7/8 years is either stoopid or something else. It's certainly not dromintee's fault that they don't have the history to be classed in what you regard as the traditionally big club bracket, but as a lot of clubs are slowly realising, history means nada.

I presumed when Swift didn't get a run out v St Mary's he was a cert, especially when Austie is out!!

He must have been shocking in training!?

Kev O'Rourke provided the only scoring threat we had in the last game!!

To be fair Benny I'd have had Liam O'Hare in also, thought he showed well enough.

I can only assume, as stated above, that injury is the reason Swift isn't on the panel. Be interesting to see who he starts at midfield inthe league. Plenty of options and hopefully 1 will step up to the mark.

Agree you Goats Do Shave that Liam O'Hare deserves a chance in the League.

Why the hell are they waiting till September to start the Minor championship?

And there's now going to be 2 u21 championships in 6 months. Gonna be tough on lads in May who are expected to play Senior leasgue and the weekend and u21 championship midweek. Right in the middle of the exam season as well.

[winsamsoon]

I confess Uladh i was speed reading and i read your type wrong so shoot me. I am going to wrap this one up as we are at the risk of boring everyone else who doesn't want to talk about the subject. My final say will be that "history may means nada" as you say, but niether does getting beat in 3 finals,  3 semi's and 2 quarters. I will wait for your last words on the subjects.

[corn02]

Jesus Win , the Championship has not even started yet and you are getting the digs into Dromintee.

I think what Uladh is trying to say is that despite not actually achieving the goal, Dromintee have easily been the second best team in Armagh over the last decade, which of course is no consolation.

[qub la la la]

i notice that from the panel listed, to my knowledge there is no players listed who are eligible for the u21 team this year whi is also run in the early part of the year. from this i would imagine that the door for the likes of k o'rourke, etc is still open and these lads will join the panel if and when armagh's interest in the u21 championships is finished..

[Goats Do Shave]

Nippy is def on the NFL panel or else why would he be in LA so much

You must be on the panel yourself then? - Or is it the development squad?

Stefan Forker is def eligible for U21, Michael O'Rourke is as well I think.
