That would be me. Some reassessment is needed, especially if the Ógs push on to win Armagh and make an impact on Ulster, as they should be able to do.

who was the ref at the granemore game???

Passing through, just though i'd add a note of congratulations to Pearse Ogs.
Great night for the whole club and even made me feel welcome in their club afterwards for a pint or two.

On the referee incident last night(Rory Robinson). I was at the game
- Referees should remove their services until the county board take appropriate action
- County board should be ashamed at the lack of protection i.e. Steward shortages at both games this weekend


Also, surface wise the pitch is pure dung. No programmes does make it hard for people to spot good players/changes on teams and this pisses me off as neutrals would hardly looking to come back to watch c'ship matches again

I wouldn't like to comment on this incident until an accurate description of it is given, so to suggest that referees should withdraw services is an over-reaction based on rumour and innuendo.  I suppose it depends on what is included in the referees report.

I would agree about the lack of stewards though and also the state of the playing surface. You'd also think that a photocopier would be available at county board HQ to run off a few more programmes. Surely that is not too much to ask.

Must be a lack of funds within the county board at the moment as i heard over the weekend that the minors will not be staying in Dublin after the All Ireland final

I'd imagine the Carrickdale will cost as much!?

unless there is an element of sponsorship in kind.

[illdecide]

Although why would you stay in the Carrickdale when you prob only live 10 mins away...

Goats, Is Paul Mc back playing for you guys or is he still injured and if so did he retire full stop or just from county?

lack of stewards was a disgrace. something happened at half time were someone needed medical attention in the crowd at the far side. a women actualy had to run across the pitch to the order of malta in order to get the person seen to. no stewards in place to help the affected person to get help quicker

I stated that earlier pearseogs and it is a damned disgrace. Also the children on the field at half time clearly there were no stewards preventing them getting on but subs can't get on to warm up. What sort of a county are we living in.

was at the match last night and the same thing happened. there were already about 100 kids on the pitch. 2 young fellas in front of me tried to get on and a steward stopped them. dont see the point in stopping the 2 lads at this point. there should however be more stewards in place at the end of the first half to stop all the kids getting on. if they cant get enough stewards then organise something at half-time such as the ABLE group who played at half time of the armagh/laois match or kids from a range of clubs playing in an organised game. and if they can't bother to do that then let the bloody subs on for a kickabout

Well done to Ogs and Granemore over the weekend. Taking Cross out of the championship leaves it anyone's at this stage.

Regarding the stewarding, it very poor. If these games were at a club ground the host club would be responsible for the provision of stewards. If the kaos occurred at a club ground for a championship game the host club would be held accountable and made an example of.

So many small things in Armagh seem to be neglected and it is not looking good at present.

The playing surface needs attended to at the Athletic Grounds, it is worse than a lot of club grounds!!
