Armagh Club football & hurling

Francie getting the MOTM award is a joke IMO, shows the gombeen nature of our County (Board).  FFS the man played one half of a game of football as a sweeper with no marking responsibilities bar double-teaming Gareth O'Neill on ocassion.  Miceal O'Rourke did very well, but Dromintee would have been f##k all without Vincie Martin yesterday.

I hope you mean he was non existent Benny, like McKenna was as well. Don't know why people rave about Vince Martin, he's f**k'en useless. Thought the lad Morgan was emense, very powerful, and has pace.

Is it t county board who pick man of the match, I know for a good few years it was Tones who sponsored MOTM award and they had delegates who selected player, is this not still the case???

took in the match and have to say that dromintee will never have a better chance of beating cross. unfortunately they don't have the belief to beat them when with 5 to go and elements in their favour they froze. the only consolation is that it ends home finals for cross. In relation to the minor final congrats to shane o neills but i have to say the standard of both teams was pretty poor not that shanes will worry. minor teams of cross, harps, killeavey, ogs and keady must regret they didn't put in a better effort as a title was there on the basis of yesterdays game. ps did either of yesterdays minor finalists defeat any of the above teams. think it could be the end of the road for a few dtee starlets, including aiden o rouke and e martin

r u forgetting cullyhanna minors,we knocked cross out in the first round..u from the bridge??lol

Whats with ur LOL all of the time..what age are u 6?plus whats with you and the bridge get over them lad....

What's the story with that Orchard TV? Have the county board gave up on that?

Went to the Belleek's v St Paul's game at the weekend and wasn't a bad game considering St Paul's fielded their B team but every one that played tried their best, it was another one of those situations where had St Paul's beaten Belleeks then their neighbours EireOg would have got a play off with Belleeks. I'm sure Eire Og wasn't happy about that but this situation seems to be happening in all the divisions.

Keady like clock work every year are about 4-5 games behind everyone else and then come the end of the year when teams have nothing to play for Keady win their remaining matches and be safe, i know this happens to facilitate their hurling team but a one off yes but not every year, it's unfair on the rest of the teams. the Co Bored are going to have to get a bit stricter with some of these teams and start taking the Pt's of the teams who constantly call matches off and deduct Pt's from teams who don't field as well as fine them

Neither did.
John Murtagh usually got himself sent off in the county final probably as a result of the indiscipline he acquired as a young fellow with yous

thats what i said goats but it suits some clubs to gain points against teams without their county players and they wont vote for it. the playoff would leave all clubs having to fulfill their fixtures in order to avoid play-offs for relegation and to get into play-offs for promotions or div1 league champs. happens in some counties successfully. some clubs delegates cant see the wood from the trees.

murtagh got it in an ulster final against mayobridge a few years back when he single handedly won the game for the rangers,probably as a result of the coaching he acquired as a young fellow from stpats.
