Armagh have names an unchanged team

Suspect this will be same team named for each round.

Anyone know what radio station will carry the Laois vs.,Armagh match? Thanks.

Midlands 103 get in on the net

Armagh fairly awful tonight and can't complain that they find themselves 6 points down at half time.

All over Laois 0-16 Armagh 0-10. 8 points each 2nd half. A game lost in the first half and a defeat that could be blessing in disguise for Armagh.

[The PRO]

We have some record against Armagh. 😉

Laois win, hardly a shock we always beat Armagh.

Evan O'Carroll showing glimpses of what he's capable of again. That result could nearly see Laois safe because Armagh and Roscommon are two of the toughest fixtures on paper

[armaghniac]

Laois played a solid game, doing a lot of the simple stuff right. Armagh were a disgrace in the first half and patchy in the second. At least they must know they were bad and that this won't do, at all.

[Blowitupref]

Great result against the odds for Laois. 3 points gained from two of their toughest games on paper and with Cavan (H) Clare (A) Kildare (H) Westmeath (A) Fermanagh (A) to play they might set their sights higher than just staying up.

[FermGael]

Big big comeback and result for Cavan that

Armagh host Kildare next week, if they don't win that they are staying in div2.

Div 2 is probably where they should be, on tonight's performance.

Armagh fans should be provided with 2 templates to post.

One for when the forwards play with confidence and click and therefore out score the inevitable concession of scores when you have no defensive system other than backtrack towards your own goal.

The other for when the confidence in the attacking threat collapses, balls don't get hit early, incisive fowards barely get into the game, confidence drains and players retreat literally and metaphorically. We probably concede even more in this scenario and have little to off set it with at the other end.

Last night was incredibly disappointing and frustrating. Laois were fully deserving of their win. Looked like they have worked hard over the winter. Well set up for the modern game and try to work their threats into the game.

None of that could be said about us based on that performance.

There is a disease in football and we seem to be the victim of a particularly virulent strain. Players seem to think that if you run back it's not your fault when we concede scores - you have done your bit. When you run back into the defensive line and make a poor tackle leading to conceding a score that there is some virtue in having run back. When in possession if you lay the ball off sideways and retain possession you have done the right thing - the riskier forward ball is best left to someone else after time has been wasted, opposition defence is set up and forward has lost all his advantages.

Our defensive frailties were exposed last night but not the week before. They were there on both occasions. The difference last night was that the attacking game imploded.

Armagh host Kildare next week, if they don't win that they are staying in div2.

If we don't win then we will have a fight to stay in division 2
