James Lavery must be well off the pace in training.

I really thought he would be McGrane's midfield partner this year!

Uladh stated in the other thead on the main page that the back line is suspect and I have to agree. For many years the full back line has been one of Armagh's best I know Mallon has yet to return but there seems to be a short supply of people who can come into the full-back line. Perosnaly for Sunday I would of liked to have seen McKeever drop back in place of Moriarty and Shannon given a chance on the wing.

I staed before on this thread that McKeever could be perfect for corner back especially if McNulty does not lose them Christmas pounds. I know everyone will ridicule this due to his utstanding performances in the half-back line but I think half back is a line we are very strong in and with Kernan, Duffy, O'Rourke, Shannon and Vernon all good people for that line, I feel we can sacrafice McKeever.

BK1 - O'ROURKE AND SK CAN INTERCHANGE ALONG THE BACK END OF MY *

:-*K! - THEY ARE BOTH CRAP!!!!!

IVEDECIDED, O'Rourke has been Armagh's best forward in the two games to date while S Kernan is starting to prove both me and many others on this form wrong with some good performances. So I can not undersdtand your comments, would you care to elaborate?

Corn, agree with you about M O'Rourke and while SK is skillful, I'm not sure he can win hard breaking ball which he would need to do.

But he can take a score. I have been one of his biggest critics but he is certainly not as bad as I first thought. I still believe he is well off championship pace and I would easily have Mallon ahead of him, I do believe he deserves a chance since he has done so well against Cavan. Remember Kernan is coming off a years solid training and is probably as fit as anyone on the team at present. Probably a bit sore ,in more ways than one, after Sunday but with his fitness on high he will probably be our topscorer form play on Sunday.

Nothing like setting someone up for a big fall.

Hopefully not though.

Not really Nimbus, as I stated I have critisied him plenty on here. I think he is a pioneer? I could be wrong but if he is he should have no problem hitting at least two points from play on Sunday.

Real1995 · February 29, 2008, 01:20:38 PM

I agree with the three Kernan's playing on Sunday as I feel Tony and Stephen are their on Merit, but just think of the criticism that big Joe would have come under if he had played them....agree wit Corn, MOR has easily been our best forward in league to date...no reason to drop him at al!

IVEDECIDED · February 29, 2008, 02:08:33 PM

Listen lads MOR is a ball winner and a goer, granted - but is this enough for top level county championship football? He cant take a score, he cant make a killer pass, he cant catch a ball and he cant run with a ball - apart from these slight mishaps I stand corrected he is a fine county footballer!

IVEDECIDED · February 29, 2008, 02:11:40 PM

And anyway we are forgetting the most important fault of SK and MOR - BY GOD THEY ARE UGLY!!!!

Is he not injured or just returning from one?

Team for Sunday

McKinney
Enda Donaghy Moriarty
Kernan O;'Rourke McKeever
Mackin McGrane
Courtney O'Rourke S Kernan
McDonnell Clarke T Kernan

Come on pints...

What uladh?

I think McGrane is use to playing in Midfeild on his own at this stage.

I can't see McKinney doing too well with no full back line in front of him.
