I see Gaelic Life are saying James Lavery is out for three months.
Has there even been a side that had so many injuries in one season? Very unlucky.

Things aren't that bad. Should Aaron Kernan return for the next game we could conceivably be down as few as two of our first choice 15. Many of the injured (Moriarty, Toner, Lavery, A Forker) are lads edging around the periphery of the starting team.
To be fair you need capable subs as well! Most of Armagh's injuries appear to be in the defence or midfield area.
There doesn't seem to be that many first teamers as AFS says - must say when I read the headlines I figured it was Grimley was getting his excuses in
That was my feeling too - every county has injuries but the hullaballoo we are making of it at every turn isn't helping anyone - least of all the healthy players
Armagh's ability to win games is not only affected by the injury crisis but the sidelining of a number of available players by management eg. those who travelled to the states last year, those considered too old and those under suspension. The rights and wrongs of those decisions are also debatable.
Bring back Mal Mackin, I say!

Bring back Des Mackin senior while you're at it!
John Kingham is the man to sort this out
McKeever gone for the league.

That's not good, he provided obvious leadership when he was playing. Without himself and AK the younger team members seems rudderless.
We'll just have to win next years All-Ireland from Division 3 then. So be it.

Don't Matter will be disappointed he will not be able to give McKeever a cheer on March 8th!
Ah crap that's awful news. McKeever will be a massive loss. No Toner to step in for that position either.
Who's the best bet there now? Vernon?

If Vernon is the best we have, then we'll be in Div 4 next season.

Toner was on the bench and warmin up during the Down match so hopefully he's available

Definitely Wullie, he is the more accomplished footballer having played for Whitecross.
McKeever is running scared, the same with the rest of the 'injuries'. They know what's coming March 8th and they're abandoning ship. Especially since the execution will be televised on setanta!
Come out and put up your dukes.

Great opportunity to blood some lads that have not had much of an opportunity to see what they can do in meaningful matches.
Thankfully the crowd we play next are shitebags so we should beat them even if we send out the under twenty ones. ;)
Young john magill and mc cullough from cruppen drafted onto Armagh panel last night as numbers low
Come on? Surely at least one player broke a leg, did their cruciate, had the last rites, in Navan?
