Quote from: jcpen on May 25, 2024, 03:42:09 PMMan Uniteds game to lose now, it's in their hands.

And unlike the Liverpool team you support they didn't lose when got into the position of winning yesterday.

Bad day for sportwashing and soulless clubs with Manchester City unable to add another trophy to their collection and Newcastle United missing out on European football next season.

Comfortable five-point success over Westmeath an improvement on this match last year which won with a late goal. Sets Armagh up nicely for Derry next.

Ademola Lookman scored just four times in near 50 appearances for Everton and he was unused sub in the win against Liverpool in Anfield.

The young Offaly fans are mad to get on the field to celebrate.

That first half proves those pre-match Atalanta odds was more than decent.  Showing why they beat Liverpool 3-0 in Anfield tonight.

Liverpool were never favourites while Leverkusen were still in the competition. 

Liverpool was favourites. Bayern Leverkusen them became favorurites once Liverpool was eliminated by Atalanta.

How many different managers is that now under Todd Boehly? Pochettino never looked like a good fit for a club that are seeking instant success.

Quote from: Armagh18 on May 21, 2024, 03:12:00 PMRashford to be left out of England squad? Couldn't be happier for him, fair play to Southgate if its true.
Rashford will be one hoping Southgate isn't the next Manchester United manager.

Quote from: DuffleKing on May 21, 2024, 02:48:29 PMIs that not how it's supposed to work - has Damien McErlain been taking the Derry u15s and u16s for the last few years?

Also - has O'Rourke not been overseeing the Armagh development squads for the last 3/4 years when they have finally started to get some traction?
Eugene O'Callaghan  was the Armagh U16 manager last year and Barra O' Muiri, Brendan Nugent among the coaches.

Quote from: Captain Obvious on May 19, 2024, 11:09:34 AMMinor Semi finals results yesterday

Donegal  1-7 Armagh 2-8
Derry 2-14 Tyrone 1-10

Final May 26th at 1pm in Healy Park



Great to have an Armagh underage team reach the Ulster final. It seems like it has been a long time. O'Rourke has done a very good job with these lads. All the best to them.

O'Rourke stepped into a good gig, the ground work had been done with the coaches in the development panels and this group has been winning trophies at U15/16 level the last two years.  Derry will be tough nut to crack however Armagh should do well in the All Ireland series regardless of how the Ulster final goes this weekend.

Then you have Harry Kane still waiting after all those minutes of action.
