Armagh play London in a relegation play-off in Pairc Esler on Saturday Jully 26. Hopefully Down won't be having a wee kickabout or the game will be delayed again.
Derry U21s had a good win over Armagh last night.

The Armagh v London game is in Newry (Parc Elser) at 2pm. Be tight to make it for the Armagh v Dublin game in Cullyhanna at 3.45pm.
Armagh should beat Derry when they next meet. There has been little between the sides over the past two years.
As regards to Bradley. He has the same role as Martin O'Rourke as for Armagh football side. Turn possession over, retain possession and nick the odd score.
The keeper has been dodgy though.

Malone is a legend.

What is all this selection huffing and puffing about?
Every club secretary was asked to forward names for U21 and senior trials.  Most clubs did not hold any meetings over Nov/Dec or bother to contact their managers or managers decided not to send their players on trails on self interest. Anyway a good few players decided not to bother - P Loughran as an example.
That is why Armagh is left with the players it has.
If you think your club player is good enough then ask your county delegate what have they done about it.

Where is this thread going? Why doesn't everybody list the journos from their local rags in each county and then those that write for nationals and we can decide/ rip to shreads/ who is the best/worse or those that even stoke up a response.
Still think Brendan Murphy pictures in the Irish News are classic. Nothing to do with anything but if you havent noticed his pix before, you will the next time you look in the Irish News and everytime after.

Still no handballer of the year? Heard on the 5FM show last night that it is the second year in a row that it hasn't been awarded despite being in the dinner dance programe. Whats that about? Last year Armagh had a world champion, this year we have had Charlie Shanks and James Doyle competing on the international scene.
Oh jesus was it one dry dinner dance. Why was Joe Kernan not given an award?

Anyone going to tonight's county dinner dance? Should be good to see the U21s get their medals. Wonder if Armagh hurlers will be given due respect.

London in the last week of January. Is The Church still rocking over there, anybody?

McKenna Cup draw. 3 games in seven days and we have to go to Cavan in midweek.
Balls

Good Luck to all Armagh sides in Ulster at the weekend: Cross in the Senior, Whitecross in the Intermediate and Carrickcruppen in the Intermediate Final replay.

Good job yer man wasing driving past the Mullaghbawn v Maghery game. If he was disgusted with the Harps match, he would be pulling the pin out of the gernade in his mouth at this token game. It happens everywhere.

Anyone know how long it would take to get from Celtic Park to Clones?
Hoping to watch Whitecross v Newbridge in Intermediate Championship (Celtic Park at 12.45noon), which should be over by 2pm and bomb down the road to Clones to get the2nd half of Crossmaglen (throw-in 2.30pm). Route planner doesnt say where Celtic Park is, in relation to Derry.

Good luck Peter.

This crack about votes and nominations. Only one club nomianated Big Joe back in 01 and it wasn't his own. Club football will prosper as will the county.

Derry + 3 is evens. Armagh 11/10 Roscommon 10/11 or the otherway round. Whichever makes Rossies the favs

Whats the problem? Willie Frazer was kicking the O'Neill's ball since he was knee height.
