How often have you seen Quigley refereeing within the last 3 years.

Whats that got to do with anything?

Quite a lot, If you have only seen him once or twice i dont see how you are in a position to comment on his ability as a referee.

Just answer the question.

I didnt comment on his ability as a referee.

I believe it was just a few weeks ago that i backed Keady for the intermediate championship and was widely criticised so i belive cetain people may feel foolish now.

Keady won by playing football some of the cullaville players had no intention of playing football and were out to get physical and get physical they did but to no avail.

Con Nugent was absolutley outstanding in mid-field. Barry Hughes also came on and showed his class although he is old and dangerously slow he had the intelligence to outwit defenders with his trademark dummy solo.

honourable mention to Colum watters who was very good for cullaville but Con nugent was my man of the match.

Potiential county players i feel

Did that fella score 1-10?

Any odds for the Cross V Ogs game?

[thewanderer]

cross 1/5 ogs 9/2   st.pats 4/5 granemore 7/4  harps 1/1 clans 2/1

[brokencrossbar1]

No one seems to be talking about the games this weekend?

I reckon that the Harps will have enough to beat the Clans talent wise but they have to get their heads right.  I don't think Clans have anyone to compete with Harps around the middle and this is where the game will be won.

Ogs must be going in as slight favourites for the other game.  Even though Cross beat them twice in the league by all accounts the Ogs were the better team on both days and should have won only for some dodgy refereeing decisions.  They will have no lack of motivation and no lack of talent.  We are bound to be tired and maybe eyes elsewhere for the management with the whole Grimley thing blowing the county management open again.  Ogs by 3.

This is your yearly rant about how the Cross will be beat...blah blah blah and then you'll have a good laugh after Sat night when the Cross beats the Ogs by 3-4pts as per usual. We both know that Cross will win so no more BULLSHIT SAAAAN

As for the Clans...around the middle they would be as strong as the Harps, 2 big men there one @ 6"3 and the other at 6"1 with one being an ex county player so i'd imagine they'd hold their own around the middle. I reckon whoever wants it the most between Clans & Harps will win (as well as carrying a we bit of luck on the day)

[umgolaarmagh]

Im in agreement with BC1, Ogs by 3 points

[el_cuervo_fc]

The Ogs are 9/2 in Bar one, not exactly what I'd call favourites

Fair enough, I still think that Harps will be strong in this area and will want to make up for what they saw as a lost opportunity last year against us.  The one positive thing for Clans is that if they get on top of the Harps they can sometimes implode and Clans love rubbing it into teams in those circumstances.

As regards our game, I am not sure how we'll do.  I know there are injuries and one definite big name is out.  Ogs have nothing to lose and although they may not be bookies favourites this is their year

[Diet Coke]

There's as much chance of a Harps/Ogs double as there is of Paul Grimley managing Armagh next year

Come on the "blues"

[fitzroyalty]

I'd say all the teams in the qfs are quietly confident of victory, won't be too much between the sides tomorrow, Ogs certainly capable if they take their chances. Typical Cross will probably grind out the victory though

Would you care to give me odds greater than 'Evens' on Cross then and I'll have a large investment. Let me know if your interested but I'll not be holding my breath. Or maybe your just full of hot air.

Maybe not bookies favourites but the bookies sometimes get them wrong.  There must be a small bit of pressure on them though as it is expected that they will win it this year.  This really is the best chance they have ever had, Dromintee gone, Clans rebuilding, Granemore and St Pat's not at the level yet, Harps still have question marks on them, Cross on the wain, if Ogs don't so it this year will they ever?
