Armagh Club football & hurling

[Whacker]

I would nornally put Quigley down as the worst ref in the county but Hearty was an absolute disgrace on Sunday, it says something when your opponents reckon you were robbed! To add insult to injury he said after the game that he didn't realise it was an important game, we'll probably get hammered for our players crowding him after the game & shouting at him, yet he'll get away with shouting abuse at players, team officials, supporters, etc.

Nothing new there.. He is a right wee Hitler.  I think this was brought up at that special meeting with the Clubs and refs a couple of months ago and when someone said that referees have to be taking to account for performances and answering people back I dont think it went down too well with them!

[Harold Disgracey]

Should have added that ultimately it wasn't this match that cost us promotion, it was our performances in a few earlier games. Lest I be accused of sour grapes. Btw I was very impressed with Kieran Toner, he looks like an ideal replacement for McGrane.

ARMAGH CLUB FIXTURES FOR W/E SUNDAY 19 OCTOBER 2008


Saturday 18 October

Intermediate Football Championship – Final (3.30)
Culloville v St Patrick's (Mickey Leonard) at Athletic Grounds
(Extra time, if required)

ACL – Division Two (5.00)
Wolfe Tone v Keady (Kevin Murtagh)

ACL – Division Four (2.00)
Middletown v Dorsey Emmett's (Henry McCloy)


Sunday 19 October

Senior Football Championship – Final (4.00)
Crossmaglen v Pearse Og (Rory Robinson) at Athletic Grounds

Minor Football Championship – Final (1.45)
Crossmaglen v Harps (Eamon Nugent) at Athletic Grounds


Why is there extra time fixed for the Intermediate Final, but not for the Senior Final
If it goes to a replay Aaron Kernan will have to chose between it & the International Rules

As far as im aware one of the ogs boys is getting married the friday after the final and so i dont think that they would want a replay either.

Count down is on. should be a good game. hope the weather is better than it is today!!

Thats fairly cut from the 1/14 they were at the semi stage!! 

That would tell you the difference between the Harps & the Ogs

Funny the bookies had Cruppen and Mullaghbawn both down as favourites against the Harps as well, you know what that would tell me?  That the bookies know f**k all about club football, bit like yourself horse.

Sorry for upsetting you Benny.................
Ok the Harps are better than the Ogs

Good man full back- beat me to it.

A great evening/ nights craic is to be expected and hopefully a big crowd for a very very worthwhile cause!

CORN will be on later I would imagine to get us uptodate on proceedings!

Match throws in at 6.30

[corn02]

Yes Billy. 6.30pm. I had heard the Intermediate was being brought forward an hour to accomodate but apparently not. I know it would be weird for a charity match to interfere with a final, but an hour wouldn't be too much of a difference and it is a mighty cause.


Have not got an update in a few days. Just that there will be signed Pele and Maradonna jersies.

I think there will be a free kick competition at half time - Ross Carr and Mickey Linden v Cathal O'Rourke and a.n. other.

Dessie Dolan confirmed and a few Tyrone ones. Thomas Freeman also.

correct corn once again the county board have shown they have no common sense. They would have known that Dromintee were going to be running this event and could have put the final forward an hour. I am sure neither of the teams would have rejected that proposal because as you say it is for a good cause. It sounds like it will be a good nights craic anyway hope all goes well.

[billy the kid]

Thanx lads much appreciated. Def think I will take that in as I will be down your neck of the woods coaching all weekend.  The lineup sounds good and Im sure there will be a decent crowd.  Will it be under lights and do Dromintee have a covered stand, Never been to their pitch before.

Maybe Im being totally stupid but what is the cause/charity being supported?

would agree with that. i remember last year in lurgan they had the tones at 4/1 to beat ballyhegan and they where the division above them.  fair few punters got on eventually got backed in to 5/2 we won by 2 points

Maybe if yis organised somebody to collect for the cause at the Intermediate final? Fully intended going to Dromintee but mightn't now with the 2 games on the one day.
