Armagh Club football & hurling

when i was under 16 the championship final was played at the same time as the utd bayern munich game and there was no change for it. 

we still got a big turnout of supporters for the game.  Dont know the ins and outs of it though if the original arrangement was to be wednesday night games which i am led to believe this should not have been changed

[qub la la la]

Why is it off, Friday night matches are always gret and gives the players the weekend.

County players who were in portugal last week were strongly advised to recouperate for one full week because of the intensity of the training, therefore the game would have been played on Friday night without county men and Dromintee didn't want that.  99% certain the game is on Monday night btw.

well there would have been a few players who were in portugal who would have played a full championship game on wednesday night.

It's not a disgrace , it's commoin sense.Poeple support Man United and wil lwant to watch it. By forcing them to play a match when it can be changed to the next night will sour their opinion of the association.

thats balls! how would going to represent or support your own club sour your opinion of the association. if you want to sit in the house watching soccer instead of the hussle and bussle of a championship semi final then thats fair enough. these people are probably first in the queue for tickets come all ireland time all the same.

Howd you do in that match charles??

im led to believe that the championship has been changed til thursday night to accommodate a request for change from the county manager peter mcdonnell. maybe its just me but in recent times i had been under the impression that you could not change championship fixtures! again it just goes to show you that the tail wags the dog whenever the county board are concerned!

If the above is true then it is a sad state of affairs in Armagh that a manager appointed by the County Board can overule a sub-committee of the same Board.

Bullshit QUB. That is the facts. If it was an U-10 championship semi-final would you put it ahead of the soccer? People watch other sports sometimes if it's more attractive which was evident during the 02 World Cup/ Derry v Donegal plus thge Heniken Cup/League finals.

I can guarantee you there will be players on both teams who would have been annoyed if they had to play on the Wednesday. Not annoyed to the point of not showing up, but annoyed to the point of being pissed off.

Spot on Corn. Fella's are entitled to other interests outside the GAA and I don't see the harm in an occasional bit of flexibility to accomodate this. Nobody's saying they wouldn't have played this Wednesday but its simply more attractive for everybody to delay for a week.

i would put any game involving my club before a soccer match corn. in fact if there was the prospect of a good game incolving your good selves up in dromintee i would likely travel up.

and tacadoir it is only more attractive to those not directly involved with either club.

anyway the game is on thursday night and thats that. what is the reason for the hold up of the granemore cavanakill game?

i see cullyhanna are advertising a great family day out on 24th may, you'd hardly be flying in fot the weekend would you pints??

I don't think it is a question of loyalty Qub, I'm pretty sure most people would make that decision otherwise there wouldn't be much point in being involved in a team if you had so little committment but as Tacadoir said theres no harm in allowing a little flexibility here which will benefit everyone.

to be fair i don't think  anyone on here is saying not to follow other sports, that's personal choice. My main point is that we shouldn't follow them if it is at the expense of our own game/sport. Postponing our games to accomodate others sends out a  message, we are competing with these sports year in years out. Some may say it shows the GAA are flexible, I would say it is the GAA bending over backwards to suit other sports that would never in a month of sundays return the favour.

The performance of Cross on wednesday night against the Ogs wouldn't really put the fear of God into you.  They are a decent enough side but I wouldn't be just so confident in them getting past Cruppen in the next round. 

I know Kyle Carragher should be missing anyway next week, he got a straight red on wednesday for an off the ball incident.

[Imposerous]

Wasn't able to get down for the Ogs game.  Did David McKenna line out for Cross?

Yes.  He didn't have a bad game either.  Him and Hanratty were in the middle of the park, Rico Kelly in centre half forward, Carragher in full forward and Kernan in full back.  A pretty strong spine, but from what I saw they are definitely beatable.
