Looks like it's going to be a good day weather wise. Mixture of sunshine and cloud with a very small chance of a light shower.

Mc Shane not on the 26?

I attended the 2005 Ulster final replay on the Saturday evening in CP .  I was in Dublin that day when Lk played Antrim in minor hurling Q/f in Parnell .  The game was utterly compelling , there was an awful tension there , a bad vibe in the crowd ,  the players on a edge that was crossed a few times .  A lot of bile in the stand besides us.   

[red hander]

Yeah, but what's it like to lose an All-Ireland final to Tyrone?

It makes us feel like Kerry 

Well in whingin terms your equal at least... long way to go in terms of cutehoorism tho.

They could teach the animals a few things about smuggling, Buckfast and causing havoc in Mullingar of a Saturday afternoon, though

Niall Sludden has been motoring along nicely so far this summer, however, I believe he's got more in the tank. Hoping for a big performance from him on Saturday.

Murnin is def out for Armagh and so is McKay but team won't be anounced until Sat morning. Murnin is a big loss but we have ample replacements so can't complain too much.
Please stop talking nonsense about who won it first, who cares ffs. Tyrone have had us in their back pockets bar 2014 which was the kick up the hole they needed, the only good thing is we're improving too and i'm realy looking forward to the game but the thought of getting beat is unbearable...PLEASE GOD (not we Pete) NO

That's great news about McAliskey and a very fast recovery from such a bad injury.
Surely it would be madness though to risk him this year, even in the Dublin game (sorry I know the Armagh wans love us looking ahead so I'm just giving them what they want to read)

Was a bit disappointed nobody replied to my post about Tyrone only conceding 5 points in the first half in each of their games so far and then pulling away in the 3rd quarter. Often it means the final quarter is almost a warm down and we let the other team get a few easy scores.

I think Mickey likes to hold a few fast defenders like Rory Brennan back for the second half to inject a bit more speed and urgency into the team in that 3rd quarter to push them through. He knows that period will be crucial against the Dubs and I feel that's his target all year. Of course it's risky to plan that far ahead but as someone already said we've blasted away all other teams before us to date.

I can see Mickey name the same team again though I would love to see McClure in from the start. No harm to Conal, he seems a nice lad and he is a good player but he seems to lack urgency and always seems in 2nd gear unlike Tiernan who works hard all game.

It looks like Meyler, McCurry and McShane have all fallen down the pecking order a bit. I think young Mulgrew has done just OK for one so young and is a big strong lad but do others think he's done better than say McCurry or others.
I wonder is Richie Donnelly near getting a starting place again instead of Mulgrew or maybe we'll see him come on as a sub. Ronan McNabb is another one who seems to have lost out big time this year.

Ronan McNabb is injured, a player of his quality wouldn't be falling down the list, he would be starting

Tickets back up on to tickets.ie, pretty decent upper Hogan avaialble and lower Davin.
