Armagh Club football & hurling

[corn02]

Surely Harps will come back up. I have seen Kelly play anumber of imes before and even marked him at minor - yet to see him "yap".

Goh - this morning

As for the Francie incident I was talking to a mate who was right behind the goals and seem what happened, the No.13 had been goading Francie for most of the 2nd half and he locked arms with Francie trying to get him to pull him down to get him booked & Francie just pushed him away & he fell.

Goh - later this morning

Benny  I'm not taking any side I just pointed out some of the stuff I saw. Corn is probably right it sort of evens itself out in the end. What I will say about that lad kelly is, I was talking to a friend this morning who was/is close to the Harps and he said he was a yap!!   He was right beside were it happened and in no way did Bellew strike him with intent, all he tried to do was get kelly off him.

The first post suggests that kelly was goading Francie, Francie pushed him away and Kelly dived.  However your second  (by the way you haven't pointed out anything you saw you're relying on a "mate's" version of events) suggests that Bellew struck but not with intent    Which is it?
Oh and Kelly is a yap?  What has that got to do with anything, what relevance has that?

C'mon GOH I think you're a better poster than that.

The level of bias towards cross in the county is unbelievable, actually it must be a Sth Armagh thing, because the Ogs got nothing from the ref in the previous game.

FFS don't start that shite.

Pints  you can make whatever assumption you like, I am only saying what I saw and what I was told. to say that intent is striking is false and push could be interpreted as a strike, but is it.
The person who told me about this is an x Harps player and someone with a very honest view, this was also his view on what I said about Kelly been a yap and was always lying down.  So if thats his opinion as a Harps man, then what do most Cross & neutrals think.

Did you see it or are you hearign this from someone else though?
The lad has a black eye, he didnt get that from a shove.  Whether there was intent or not is another thing but it's clear he got an elbow in the face and if you or me got Bellew's elbow in our face we'd lie down too!

T'internet is great and I was able to "watch" the game through the eloquent tone of the bouncy man Damian.  It was interesting to say the least!  Great credit must go to FiveFM as exiles like me can heard top class commentary of top class games!

The game itself from listening and reading between the lines was a strange one.  Cross always seemed to have an extra gear to go into but never really made it.  They seemed to miss a few good changes in the first half which would have put the game beyond doubt as they would have been 11-12 up at half time.  While Haprs seemed to have to work extremely hard in the first half for scores Cross seemed able to create chances at will but simply didn't take them. 

I was eating dinner in the second half and could only get snippets of the game but Harps certainly seemd like they had the better of the  lads for periods but just when they were getting into range Cross always seemd to close them out and could always get the score they needed.  That is the sign of a great team but they do need to close the games out better. 

Obviously I didn't see the incidents with Francie etc so I can't comment on them.  Commentary did say that Cross seemed to get a few soft frees in the first half but also that Harps were beneficiaries of a few dodgy ones as well.  Gary Smith was close to Damian and shook his head in dismay a few times apparently!  refs make good and bad decisions over the course of a game and seldom are the reason behind a team winning or losing.  It seems he told Quigley it had to go straight and as soon as it hit another outfield player he made the right decision if he blew his whistle.

Anyway on to the Final and the Ogs.  After their seemingly confortable win, and Cross obviously having trouble it will likely be an all city double in minor and senior.

[TacadoirArdMhacha]

yeah it was supposed to be a double header but its just the junior now.  The intermediate semi will be played next sat with the final played the following week.  Not sure if it on the sat or sunday though

The final will be played on the Saturday. There'll be extra time next week if the Bridge and Culloville draw. I assume the 2 clubs must have agreed to that.

Thought Ógs deserved their victory yesterday but if Killeavy could ever have gotten within a point they could have put them under serious pressure. They got back to within 2 at a number of stages but could never cut the deficit down the minimum.

Left the Cross match at half time so didn't see a lot of the controversy but I thought Harps were fortunate enough to get their penalty, particularly as the referee didn't seem to have a very good view of the incident.

Where is the future development for the athletic grounds planned. Will there be more seats on the seated side of the ground and is there a roof planned at any stage? Thought the place looked reasonable well though it doesn't seem intercounty championship standard yet.

I wish we could get games arranged around when it suited us and when players would be available.

Strange that the Culloville Silverbridge semi final wasn't fixed for the same weekend as the other semi final, as happened in both the Junior and Senior championships. 

[Rolling stone]

The lad Kelly is a yap-no doubt about it!

Sean Morrison impressed me, especially as his confidence started to grow. Although it's the first time I seen the young lad Clarke and thought he was the suprisingly the biggest threat for Cross. Makings of a good final if Og's can improve in midfield.

[pintsofguinness]

Such mouthing about a young lad who's only crime was getting an elbow in the face.

Give it a f**king rest.

Like getting your semi delayed a week because your lot had a stag on the intended weekend?

The game was never fixed and considering ogs and mullaghbawn couldn't get games postponed for a few days for deaths in their club do you think we'd be listened to talking about a stag?  Maybe it was delayed because Cullaville had an extra game to play?
Anyway, it's one thing to try and dictate your own fixtures but quite unusual to try and arrange the fixture between two other clubs.

Anyway, it's hardly that important.



But here, "the gaa", what club are you from yourself?

I think it was actually a wedding, albeit in a foreign country.

[pintsofguinness]

I don't know who's wedding you're talking about but as i said:

Good to see the rumour mill is alive and well in Cullyhanna though 
Have Cullyhanna never rearranged a fixture due to a wedding or stag?

On another note what age is that guy morrison for the harps??
