Armagh Club football & hurling

[Goats Do Shave]

That was quick! Cheers!

Yeah, they've been playing very well this last few months, after a slow start. Not sure going up will do many favours for us though.

Anyone got the hurling league table for the Armagh league?

has the penny finally dropped?

killeavy will beat the ogs and cross will stuff the harps to leave a killeavy and cross final and i think it could be close with cross winning by a few points.CLANS ARE SHIT lol lol lol.the best footballers come from south armagh and it is hurting all the city folk.we would have no county team with out south armagh

First post, just like to point out that I could that there's at least 7 non south Armagh players on the county panel... of the those who remain 5 are from Cross!! May not be fully correct depending on the starting team.. so I wouldn't say it's that South Armagh are producing the best players I would say it's Crossmaglen who are producing the best players. Other teams in South Armagh are happy to let Crossmaglen make them look good (with the exception of Dromintee who have tried their hardest to win a county title) and I think that's pretty sad. I can remember the early nineties when Ulster teams were winning All irelands and I was proud of them but it wasn't the same because I wanted us to win one

In '95 Ogs won an u16 county championship against Laochra O'Neills and I can remember a silly argument after the game when one of their players said 'but yeah, south armagh teams have won the last 4'. Despite the fact that they had been beat!! It still happens today and I think south Armagh teams (Cross, Dromintee and mullabawn excluded) need to get their heads out of their ass and realise their own clubs are doin f*** all

I take the person who posted the above comment is from Killeavy and is probably just lookingf to wind people up before the game and I accept that but to say city folk are hurting when Pearse Og alone have far more county players is ridiculous. Crossmaglen are hurting city folk... not South Armagh!!

You were doing well until you made that statement.

[Yes I Would]

And hopefully last.

I would say og's head has raised some valid points in that post. He has put a sligtly different slant on the north, south and mid debate. Once again pints you have just made a totally vague post without telling the lad what you find wrong with the quote you have selected. Would it not be better to say what you think it wrong with the statement rather than just poke fun at it. It makes it easier to debate if one has an opinion.

[The GAA]

Ogs head is referring exclusively to senior football. Pints, as with most bridge men, consider senior football to be only one small part of the criteria to judge the strength of their club on.

has the penny finally dropped?

Regarding what Win?

[Yes I Would]

Any North, Mid South debate is nonsense.

To suggest S. Armagh clubs or any club throughout the county gives them an easy ride dosent make sense. What more can Lissummon, Belleeks, St. Pats etc. do?? What do you mean by suggesting they are doinf fcuk all compared to any other club in the county??
You are talking about competeing against possibly the most succesful club side in history.

The only answer is for teams where possible to compete and obtain success on a consistent basis. Not all clubs can do this ue to small populations, however in my opinion this is the only solution.

Armagh is no different to any other county in that realistiaclly there are only 3 or 4 serious challengers for senior honours each season.
The difference is that Cross have such an abundance of talent at present that this is going to be difficult to achieve.

regarding the whole cullyhann bridge argument ending corn and i hope this doesn't trigger it of again.

Do you seriously need for me to spell out what is wrong with the statement
"It still happens today and I think south Armagh teams (Cross, Dromintee and mullabawn excluded) need to get their heads out of their ass and realise their own clubs are doin f*** all"

Do you think that's a sensible statement? What does he think every club in the county is doing?

I agree with him on the south armagh v North/Mid armagh thing, pure stupid if you ask me.  The only club I care about in South Armagh is the 'Bridge and I'd actually rather see a club like Maghery (who the 'bridge would have a good relationship with) doing well than other south armagh clubs - that's no reflection on them.

I'm not really sure what you mean by this statement.  I don't speak for anyone only myself but you're right I don't think the success of a club's senior team is everything within a club - it'd be great of course but it's not everything.
Are clubs at the bottom of division 4 any better or worse than Cross, ogs, Harps, Dromintee etc?

It seems that Ogshead's first (and only) ever wind-up post has been a success

Dont think so El, to be a sucess he would have actually had to be sucessful in winding people up.

Ok then perhaps he was just stoking the fire
