Anybody at Healy Park last night?? Heard Feeney got an injury any news?

From the sound of things the Armagh c/b would need to put on quadruple headers to get even half the crowds at the Derry games. The Championships are too predictable (especially SFC) and need changed, partly to try and stop Cross' dominance   but also to inject a bit of life back into them.

Looked like he hurt his collar bone / shoulder to me... though someone said they thought it was wrist/arm...

The blue jumper is surprisingly very nice.

You wouldn't like blue at all corn

No, no you know I hate blue!

So far how many of the new players being tried out might make the jump.  Obviously you will have at least 7 Cross players to come back to the squad, but what other players will make it.  I have to say I am glad to see McClelland getting back as I remember him from minors and thought he was a class act, Henderson and Toal seem like they could be good additions.  Who else?

Apart from your blue-tinted glasses of course

Ehh hard to know one of the keepers obviously, hopefully McEvoy.
Martin will probably be close.
Kevin O Rourke has impressed.
Henderson as well.
Not sure who else.


I would imagine this will be the lowest Cross representation on an Armagh first 15 in many a year come Championship. Not a dig because obviosuly they have fabulous players, but not many will make the first 15 I wouldn't think.

AK one of the first on the team sheet, Donaghy will battle with Bellew, Mallon will battle with Sk. On the flip side, I think McKeown could nail down a Championship spot.

I would dispute that.  I think you'll have Paul Hearty, AK guaranteed, I would rate Paul McKeown higher than Finn Moriarty.  He is a better footballer and certainly quicker.  He should be corner back with Mallon in the other.  Francie might struggle against Donaghy, I agree.  With no one standing out as a midfield partner for McGrane I thing David Mckenna has a big shout here.  Mallon and SK I think will both start along with MOR in the Half forward line.

Agree with that bc
