I think you see that with some rural clubs. Certain families get quite large at the same time etc. Graham's and O'Connell's seem a sizable contingent of their teams.

They're a frustrating outfit are Cork. They'll probably give this a good rattle and ultimately lose by a couple - then beat Tipp when the pressure is off - leaving another 6 months of chatter of being not that far away.

The best of the U20 All Ireland winning teams need ushered in ASAP - it needs done even if it meant a dip for a year or two. The current players in that team that are 30+ have had more than enough chances. In fairness I think Ben Cunningham would have easily started this year but for injury. Other than Joyce and Connolly not many have made an impact.

They've never been that terrible over the years but clearly never close to winning the big prizes either. The appetite is still there from the public down there as seen by attendance expected on Saturday night. I think they are good for the game when they're motoring well.

Clooney's aging team are starting to show a few too many miles on the clock, but you have to respect them as a small rural parish who have probably maximised their potential from the resources available to them for the last decade. That's more than most clubs can say!

I don't know. I just have visions of Rian O'Neill giving a Tohillesque tour de force, driving Armagh on to win through sheer force of will.

Pundits leaning Armagh from what I've heard so far. "It's their time!" seems to be the consensus.

Seen quite a bit of this as well. Oisin McConville and Stevie McDonnell have also mentioned Armagh having the better footballers. On what basis?

The notion that Armagh have one of the best forward lines in the country is complete fabrication. Saying that you'd be a brave man to opt for one of these times by 3+ points, there will be nothing in it.

There's a definite sense of now or never for this iteration of Armagh football, there would be potential to kick on a bit if they can win this.

Hopefully not played at a slow laborious pace, as I'd imagine I'll be giving the Leinster final a miss.

TNN have beaten the 3 worst teams in the league, Drew with a struggling Lamh Dearg and got hammered by All Saints and Brigids before they pipped Galls last night. Lets just say the money they are forking on Jackman, i thought they would have shown more signs of Progression. Though will still stay up as Moneyglass, Glenravel, Aldergrove and Endas are awful at the moment

The draw was really kind to Armagh this year.

Best chance of winning it.

True. Dont blame any team which are depleted keeping score down and credibility against the likes of Cargin, Casements and Creggan at the moment.

Also seen St.galls where pipped by TNN. after a promising start, Galls surely disappointed at that result. TNN havent been good, though their hurlers are doing rightly

Its the same team nearly for Randalstown, as it is for Clooney..

Tir na Og beat St Enda's last week and have 3 less points than the leaders, so not sure they share your thoughts on 'havent been good'

If Israel get to the final it will be nuts. It would be easy enough to manipulate public voting, I presume.

I'd say that will be the lowest scoring Eurovision points they'll ever get
