Armagh Club football & hurling

[The GAA]

Players who perform well consistently for their club deserve a shot at county opinion imho.

could some of you guys describe the circumstances of the last "great" (relatively speaking) game peader toal had?

[bennydorano]

He hasn't played football for a year and a half or more The GAA   Last County game I can think of was v Fermanagh was it McKenna cup, '07? Got 0-3 or 0-5 and rave reviews.  Regular good performer for Harps when there.

[Off The Fence]

Thats grand then and the lad is a good footballer but should he not then be play/ performing with his club first before he plays with his county?

[The GAA]

Agreed OFT. i've never seen him do much for harps either. swift, McKinney and quigley have been a much more consistently good performers any time i've seen them. the likes of feeney, henderson and martin have been consistently excellent for their clubs and have earned a county shot.

Cant remember, Dromintee gave us a few beatens in the championship a while back, doubt anyone covered themselves in glory, but I cant recall Peadar ever being taking off ( barring injury or going to snout someone).

No never taken off. That day Shannon did contain him very well, but Toal took the second half penalty, saved by McEvoy.

Bit of upheavel in your club pints?

What makes you think that?

Is there any truth in it?

I'm not being awkward or smart but truth in what exactly? What's been said?

Had a quick scan through your posts Pints and you were saying about it a couple of days back and before that a couple of weeks back so technically I was correct. Anyway that's neither here nor there.

The story is that the Bridge is divided into two factions. Can't remember all the names I heard but one side would be names I'd have associated with Silverbridge for years, the other I'd never heard of much though that wouldn't mean they hadn't also been involved with the club a long time. Apparently one side had thought they had enough votes to take control at the AGM but a crowd of people came in at the last minute which affected the votes and there's dispute over whether everybody who voted actually was a club member. I'm not that well versed with the details of what happened, who is in control now or the history but it sounds a messy enough business.

only one faction tac and its made up of the two managers from last year..they like stiring trouble...you know wat i mean

You'll get no arguments from me there.  I wouldn't give a sh1te if ever played county football again if he was committed to playing for Harps.  

He's there because McDonnell knows him first hand from his Harps days, and knows the talent the lad has and what he is capable of.

[winsamsoon]

I don't know the lad personally but it seems from reading some of the posts that he will only play for Armagh when he can be bothered. To all reports he does the same with his club. Now i know of a lot of young lads who would give their right arm for a shot at the county, even in the Mc Kenna cup. I would much rather have lads that are interested and fully committed than have a guy who only shows up or shows an interest when it suits his agenda.

Unfair yet again. People are jumping to a lot of conclusions on this thread about a fellah who hardly any of us, bar the Harps posters, know much about. If he only trains when it suits him he 'll be turfed out of the panel, simple as.Give the man a chance.

Similar to TAC
That there is a problem after the AGM with certain people's votes, about who was in and who wasnt
Cant end well

Problems just dont stop at AGM and the votes as far as im aware, also Pints hear from very reliable source that John rafferty was appointed but not sanctioned by the committee - on hearing this Rafferty got out quick

Completely untrue, I'd question how reliable that source is if I were you.

What are you talking about?  A blatant lie against two men who's only crime, in your eyes, was to substitute Ciaran Conlon in a game two years ago.    Get over it ffs.

Match was in Enniskillen, he scored 4 points IIRC? 2 from each side which were all 30+yards out and 2 of which were monster efforts.....

pints did a certain ex manager chair the meetin 2weeks ago... y bring Ciaran Conlon in 2 this his only crime is that he is a good footballer and the bridge need him.. and for you 2 tell me the get over it ???ur the one never shuts up bout cross this cullyhanna tat

[charlie stubbs]

what is the story with conlon now?is he still togging out for that team in the dundalk??bridge could give the intermediate a real rattle this year imo if they can get him on board. wouldnt fear culloville terrible defence, newtown and i would imagine sarsfields will be struggling at the bttom of division 1 and low on confidence and have a very tricky derby in the 1st round against st.pauls..
