Armagh Club football & hurling

harps2002champs · April 18, 2007, 11:34:43 AM

Taken from BBC

Goalkeepers: P Hearty, C McKinney

Defenders: F Bellew, B Donaghy, P Duffy, K Dyas, A Kernan, A Mallon, T McClelland, P McCreesh, K McGeeney, C McKeever, E McNulty, F Moriarty

Midfielders: P McGrane (capt), P Loughran, K Toner, C Vernon

Forwards: S Forker, P Keenan, S Kernan, J Lavery, M Machin, D Marsden, O McConville, S McDonnell, P McKeever, Martin O'Rourke, P Toal, R Clarke, B Mallon

Can someone try and justify how the f**k S Kernan is still on the panel, i know he his joes son but it baffles me how he can stay on the panel. He has been tried and tested on numerous occasions and he aint county standard. He is even struggling to make the cross team.

Why have the BBC got Kieran Toner in Midfield? Is he not a full back?

Uladh · April 18, 2007, 11:50:25 AM

surprised at swifts omission.

No micheal o'rourke either?

From what i hear Joe keeps SK there for entertainment value... the other lads wouldn't have anything to laugh about if he was finally put out of his misery.

Disappointed that Swift and O'Rourke the younger haven't made the squad. McKenna and Hanratty are worth a look also. Big O'Neill could be tried as option on the square - has more physically about him than Loughran. Not so sure about Paul Kernan at this stage but then again, Donaghy and McCreesh haven't done much to inspire.

as i already said micheal is still on the squad!

Im sure Paul kernan should NOT be on the squad. Im not anti-kernan, Aaron is a good footballer and deserves his place but paul hasnt proved his worth yet.
If big joe wasnt the manager then it would be a different story. This being the case maybe he has run his course. Dont get me wrong he has done a great job but if he continually puts stephen in squads then maybe his priorities are no longer where they should be!

I'm not sure about that, i def think we should have had another 2 all-irelands. One def from Brian McAlinden era and JK def lost us at least one, he def comes accross as being biased to several different clicks and clubs. As people have said on this board b4, The big Harps man must have been the brains behind the setup. Time will tell
