Looking like a Manchester City v PSG Oil Rich Champions league final.

in the terms of total lack of discipline Barcelona have really taken the biscuit tonight.

Quote from: yellowcard on April 15, 2024, 10:04:42 PMArmagh have shown glimpses of the 2022 championship form this year but I'd still be worried that they will slip back into last years negative mindset when faced with better opposition. The same thing happened in the League final again when the stakes were heightened and the fear of losing took over. 

The Ulster final, should we get there, could well be the defining game of the season because they won't be winning an All Ireland title. For a lot of those players it's probably the last chance saloon to try and win meaningful silverware.



Is it meaningful silverware?

At the start of the year there are 4 trophies you can win. Provincial pres season cup, divisional League, provincial championship and AI title. If you think it's not meaningful silverware then the 31 counties who fail to win Sam Maguire will have been failures at the end of the season. 

Success shouldn't be judged purely on silverware anyway imo since its all relative to a counties resources and current standing. No doubt the provincial championships have been devalued now but its still meaningful silverware and a prize worth lifting certainly for a county who haven't had much recent success. I'd probably put a division one League title above a provincial title now since its a national title where you have beaten the best 8 teams in the country over a 2 month period.   

Which is fair enough however in the terms of value winning Ulster will mean 1st seed and avoiding Kerry,Dublin in the group stage.

How did you mange to spell lose correctly first then spell it wrong in the same sentence?

As I said earlier the melt down continues... even for the neutrals ;D
You have issues.

Says the poster with three accounts
In your head I do I suppose, but your head is so mixed up I'm ok with you thinking that.

Dead on, head you out for a run and calm yourself

;D

Credit to Aston Villa a solid season for them and will fully deserve 4th place should they get it. A real shrewd appointment bringing in Emery and if he was given the same time with Arsenal as Arteta has got they could well have won a league title by now.

2nd goal for Dublin 2-16 to 0-11 and Hill16 has found it's voice.

Croker will be full for Leinster vs Northampton though. Nothing to worry about lads.

Will be full for the many concerts Croke Park will be hosting this summer and wouldn't be able to host as many without the Inter county season finishing up so soon nowadays.

Cluxton starting for the Dubs made his championship debut 23 years ago.

Quote from: jcpen on April 14, 2024, 03:59:33 PMThat's that for Liverpool I reckon, even though they missed some great chances today they looked a really tired team. I think Man City will canter home to another title now.

I think Arsenal can do it. They've looked really impressive past two months.
They have been but their run in is harder than Citys. I'm sure everyone will want Arsenal to win it though as no one could want City to win it apart from their own fans?

The neutrals just want an exciting finish though?



And more exciting for the neutrals now after Liverpool slipped up the last two weekends.

Lost 3-0 at home to Atalanta and follow it up with a 1-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace.

11 point winners pulling up. Down should give Armagh a better game.

All too easy for Armagh, Fermanagh so so poor and body language is that of team that doesn't want to be here today. On TV will Philly McMahon still find a way to give the MOTM to Fermanagh player?

Best refs are those you don't noticed that much, that can be rarely said about any match with Barry Cassidy in charge.
