Armagh Club football & hurling

[diesel-smuggler]

county board to reduce the admission fee to £5 for the replays are you mad in the head?

[qub la la la]

i hear on the grapevine that the draw for the minor championship was not entirely done right. a tullysaran man was sayin the draw they would like would be to avoid the south armagh teams (cross, cullyhanna and cruppen). the reply he got from a member of the county board was that he wouldnt have to worry about it. sure enough, they got granemore... Not the first time this carry on has happened either.

The draw for the senior championship was to be made after the cross and dromintee match, but it is now moved to next sunday after the cruppen and tir na nog game (the last game in the quarter finals). Why could it not have been drawn out anyway last weekend?? The question is why does the county board need to know exactly who is in the semi finals before making the draw??

And you're surprised at this?

[Uladh]

Uladh gets all defensive when jimmy mc kee is criticised for some reason. Then he tries to attack posters on a personal level because he hasn't the intelligene to argue with facts.

i couldn't have scripted a more ironic post for you. if you're an example i'm glad i don't have the intelli gene. DNA ain't what is was.

Catch a grip of yourself goh4205. With the standard of refereeing in this county over the past couple of years, you are going to the bother of registering on this board to complain about a referee who got a couple of decisions wrong for both teams. McKee was excellent on sunday night and any referee who is able to maintain a level playing field with the amount of intimidation Crossmaglen bring to bear on him should be commended.

You are obviously a crossman and while everyone has club blinkers on you cannot be serious about the decisions you picked out.

Was at the Cross - Dromintee game and as a neutral I thought Jimmy McKee was a disgrace.  Marty O'Rourke should have got a straight red for his strike on the young corner back in the first half, but instead he give's marty's marker a yellow.

did you imagine this? McKeown finally received a yellow card for his fourth personal foul on o'rourke. he should have been off.

He also blew a cross half forward up i think for catching a clean kickout

stand side in the first half. blatant push in the back by mcnamee.

and then at the end he gives a fifty which never was

i was in the stand and from 100m its difficult to see minor deflections. there was hardly a complaint from the cross players though and the only argument were from the 2 cross mentors who actually arrived on the 50 yard line to contest the decision! i'm sure that helped in the long run...

to top that of he  give Marty O'Rourke a free, when he should have blown for over carrying.

Very marginal decision but 3 players tackling one forward more often than not results in a free in. hardly a "disgrace" as you label it.

From what I hear from a few lads today, they would do anything to get rid of Cross, pretty sad if this is the case when the best team to come out of Armagh & Ulster for years and probably never to be repeated, it's a very sad reflection on gaelic football and on fellow gaels.

Of course. Everyone should follow protocol and roll over for the mighty rangers

What is startling is that Cross didn't get every 50:50 decision for once.

[Armamike]

Enjoyable game between Cross and Dromintee, a draw being a fair result over the 70 mins.  Cross were the much more efficient of the teams with their chances at the start of the game. Dromintee showed good character to come back strongly.  As has been said, Dyas and O'Neill were very good in the second half - the two best performers on the pitch.  Dyas is great to watch in full flow - he put Cross on the back foot with his direct running and was able to pick out some great passes. Aidan O'Rourke and Eddie Martin were good as usual.  Tony McEntee was very good at full back but the problem for Cross is that his presence is missed out the field.  Interesting to see the county CHF played at wing forward!  Michael O'Rourke was kept very quiet.  Any time i've seen him against Cross he doesn't seem to have the physical strength/presence to get any joy out of the Cross backline.  If Dromintee can get him more into the game (it's a big if) in the replay they will have a decent chance.   They will also need Cathal on the pitch for the freetaking.

I hear Dromintee and Armagh are going to lose Kevin Dyas to the AFL, any truth??

Well once again i'm sorry to disappoint you that I'm not from Cross, but louth as i stated before and before you ask i do know people from Cross like you know people from lurgan/portadown or wherever.

I'm not gonna waste my time getting into an who did what, I was stating my point which i'm intitled to do & for that you seem to have no other choice but to attack me personally. maybe you and Jimmy have a thing going   and winsamsoon said you seem to go on the defensive whenever someone has a go at jimmy, so clearly a wee sore point for you, then again maybe you are Jimmy the man.  On another point you are clearly an Ogs man and your f**k'in scared shitless of Cross winning knowing you's present no challenge what so ever if you even make it that far. 
And  a final point to end on, you are clearly not liked on this board judging by some previous posts, everybody can't be wrong about you surely
