Armagh Club football & hurling

[winsamsoon]

Is there a game goes by when Clans ones don't whinge about refs Take some responsibility for your own actions ffs.

Got Quigley again today refereeing us and for once in his career he actually was decent for us. If anything he gave us a lot softer frees than maghery. It must be the good weather or something that is in the air.

Benny my lad i thought it was just the clans folk that complained about the refs. I think this is the best case of irony i have witnesses on this board. Take some responsibility for you own actions benny and accept that vincy can count 

By the way we drew tonight with maghery in a scrappy enough game. On this performance there will be a relegation scrap looming for both teams. Piss poor is an understatement.

Oh and charlie the £1 in at the gate thing, this is why we are struggling finacially by not stinging you country folk  Your probably over 30 too  mature student.

GOH04 Dromintee were missing nine and I believe Cross were missing nines so what not as if we were not missing players.

The keeper done very well, he is a class keeper that is overl ooked.

Crossfire I don't know what your point is but there is usually a couple of niggles when Cross and Dromintee meet.

I meant actual Armagh players or panelists?, surely Dromintee don't have 9 players on it as well.  I just thought they had the O'Rourkes, shannon & O'Neill on it.
What was that no.14 at slamming the ball to the net 3/4 times after he scored the pen, was he just so glad to get a kick at it considering that McKeown fella never gave him a sniff the entire game.

We were missing just as many as Cross today, not just our county players but many injuries which we have suffered over the last week as Corn02 has pointed out. But as I said Cross' depth in squad is superior to ours and it was clear to see today - not least due to the fact that the club is significantly bigger than ours.

Didn't see our number 14 kicking the ball into the net 3-4 times after he scored the penalty? If so how is this even a point worthy of raising?

Diet Coke, didn't make it up to the game today, but two players and a supporter said to me that Kelly's work rate was actually a lot higher than usual, tracking back etc... Just goes to show how easy it is to have differing opinions on a game I suppose.. but as for county football, he may have been a good u21 but still think he's very far away from senior standard.

On the topic of the game, how the hell could the referee have made such a terrible decision on the scoreline! Heard from a few at the game that it was certainly a 1 point victory to the Harps, now I know people come on here and whine about how bad referee's in the county are, but surely this is as clear a case as possible, its probably his most important job of the entire game and he can't do it right? Apparently the Culloville officals made themselves scarce fairly quickly when the ref called a draw...

Pearse Ogs beat Killeavey yesterday 3-12 to 0-13.  The game was played at a very high tempo with the Ogs opening the scoreline with a goal straight from the throw in.  killeavey replied 5 mins later with a point followed quickly by another goal from the Ogs.  It was more or less point for point for a bit after this but Killeavey started to dominate in the last 10 minutes of the first half scoring 4 or 5 without reply.

Half time score was 2-7 to 0-9

Ogs openied the second half with 2 points and started to stamp some authority on the game.  Killeavey were fired up as ever and kept pushing until a Goal from Decy Mcmanus put the game out of reach in the last ten minutes. 

A good result in the end to win by 8 points.

[Uladh]

In fairness to vincey o'neill he's usually one of the better refs about.
mistakes happen i suppose.

[corn02]

GOH4 yes I am sure he was frustrated. He did kick the ball into the net three times but that is a very weird point to raise. He scored the penalty and the ball rolled back to him and he whacked it in again, so what?

5 county panelists plus our starting midfielder and full back, plus another starter. All three have some county experience.

AS I've already stated, I thought the ref did well in a nasty enough game, his arithmetic skills are a different matter however.

[Yes I Would]

If ref made a mistake regarding the scoreline, and game was reported live on radio, surely this could be used to clarify the score and determine the result once and for all.

[el_cuervo_fc]

What did the referee send Joe off for Benny? What's down in the book?

[bennydorano]

He reckoned Joe pushed him.

[el_cuervo_fc]

He reckoned Joe pushed him.

That's just no luck

[mackers]

Not sure whether I'm one of the "usual Cullyhanna posters" that's being talked about, but just to be clear that I'm not a "Cullyhanna poster" and that I agree that those who beat the Bridge lad up should be reported to the Gardai and hopefully get jail for what they've done. I would associate that sort of behaviour with the soccer thugs in England not GAA people in south Armagh. Hope the lad makes a full and speedy recovery.

What club are you from again Mackers?
Will Cullyhanna be investigating the incident, I assume the two main culprits lined out for them the other night? 
I hope the St Patricks gfc is proud of them.

I'm a born and bred Armagh City man who played some very limited under age football for the Harps. As I told you last year, my main interest would be the county team, I would travel to the ends of the country to watch the county team and try to take in as much club football as possible.
With regard to whether Cullyhanna are going to investigate the matter I'm sure you'll agree the incident surpasses anything that a football club could police and should be handled by the Gardai as it was a criminal act.
I'm sure all decent Cullyhanna members are NOT proud of them, you're back to tarring everyone with the same brush.

Good win for st pats vs Mullaghbwn 13 points to 1.3. Good win for our lads without county men and Ciaran o Hare. Gifted Mullaghbawn an early goal but came back in to it well to lead by 8 pts to 1.2 at the interval.Couple of early points in the second half killed the game off though Mullaghbawn unlucky not to get a goal as Conor O Neill pulled off a terrific save. Good performance from Owen Casey and Niall and Conor Mc Shane in defence, Mal and Barry Mc Conville in midfield and Eugene Casey 0.8 and Ciaran O Neill in attack. Gives us four wins from five games. Tough week end next week end though with Cross and Pearse Ogs both away from home.

And we can pass your best wishes on to Conall Quinn as well? - or are you as cowardly as your club mates?

thats a we bit OTT Pints, you can't tar everyone with the same brush.

BTW you're Bridge mate actually gave us a few decisions yesterday, i suppose he owed us a few decisions or was it that it was just 2 north Armagh teams and he didn't give a feck

P.S. i didn't think he'd have a neck to come back to Lurgan after last week but there you go...you couldn't cut that fella with a Stanley Knife
