Armagh 0-20 Fermanagh 0-11 ... Armagh win pulling up.

Captain Obvious

A win is a win for Armagh. 20 points scored and just 11 conceded is a decent days work for any championship game however Fermanagh have gone back a fair bit in the last 12 months.

Wonder how many scores the 'super' Armagh forward line will get today?

We scored 20 points as a collective with the forward ling bagging the majority of them, is that ' super' enough for you????

Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.

Dublin will be sh*tting themselves! ;)

Fermanagh have lost over 20 players since our all Ireland quarter final against Dublin 2 years ago.
We cant turnover that amount of players .
No county can.
Wanted.  Forwards to take frees.
Not fussy.  Any sort of ability will be considered

Wouldn't think so, but Armagh still have something to add to this year's Championship and that's all that matters tonight  ;D

Esp one of your size. What has caused the turnover?

Armagh have to be happy with that. While the game was poor enough on the eye Armagh were very dominant, tactically spot on and didn't appear to be ready to cough up soft goals at any point.

Some very good performances but Grimley had to be MOTM by a long way.

It's hard to put a finger on it.
Some lads retired.
Some lads just didn't want to train 4 or 5 nights a week.
Some lads went travelling.
I honestly can't think of any of the 20 plus lads who are not available who actually fell out with the management.
It's a Fermanagh thing if I am being honest.
When we reached the all Ireland quarter final against Tyrone in 2003 and were hammered we had a massive player exodus.
We reached the semi final the next year with most of the previous years squad not available.
In my lifetime it has happened quite a few times.
The remarkable thing is that we somehow keep on finding players despite our teririble underage record.

Fermanagh were poor. We were mixed. An awful period in the first half when we just looked clueless, vulnerable to runners throughout and initially a bit stupefied on what to do with the extra man. Those were the negatives. But we are still in the competition. We have a chance to put them right.

Grimley played well and recovered from the missed free. OHanlon looked mobile and had his best game in a long time

bennydorano

I was surprised they took O'Hanlon off myself, Murnin too but he looked like he took a knock. McParland was lucky getting the full shift imo. The drop to the bench could be the kick up the arse that Campbell needs. Looked hungry 2nite.

T Fearon

A game essentially between two third division teams and the standard never reached any great heights.If Quigley had started Fermanagh might have pushed on when they led 5 points to 2.Hard to see Mc Grath continuing I'd say.If we avoid Monaghan we may get to play a beaten provincial finalist,although away ties to either Westmeath or Tipp would be tricky in the extreme

They don't have the Dublin resources
