Its not an isolated incident.. the Kerry fans give wild abuse at Armagh players calling them Brits

I'm going to league and championship matches all over Ireland for the guts of 40 years now and I have never ever heard this type of stuff directed at me.....as a matter of fact if I was to ask my club mates tomorrow night at a committee meeting if they have ever encountered this type of stuff I would be 100% positive that the response would be no.

The poor Armagh boys seem to be singled out by them big bold boys from the Free State

have to say 5sams you would be in the minority there
have heard a lot of abuse over the years

as an aside the issue armagh have is the selective punishment by the referee
there were other incidents in the tunnel at half time but yet again mc keever was singled out
i thought the laois county board was weak " we investigated and found no evidence of any racial abuse" it was sectarian not racial

Benny I have been at all our games this year
And accept your comment about Morgan having to prove himself
I think he will and should make the team
Championship is two months away.

yes there was an incident reported in the papers about crowd trouble at the kerry match but little was made of it. i suppose its time for us gaa folk to stop looking down our noses at soccer fans. pot kettle etc..

That is the truest statement I heard in a long time

if the sectarian allegation is true I wonder will the gaa take issue with it.

have kept counsel on the match but I thought refereee was appalling, we should have had a couple of penalties, but we were also wasteful.

reality is that we are weak at present and i would expect to be turned over in our next 2 games

Morgan didn't cover himself in glory at the weekend, how can he walk onto a team he's yet to play for.

give me an alternative

Hearty
Andy Mallon, donaghy, James Morgan
Ak, cmk,Dyas
Mal, Charlie
Forker,SK,anto Duffy
Clarke,stevie, rafferty

If not rafferty would try hanratty or mc kenna on the square.
Anto Duffy has well this year so would give him the nod over Cunningham .

Why are the U21s being risked ahead of Wednesday's game against Cavan? I think this is a terrible decision, especially in the case of Pete C who has played very little football since his injury. If Vernon is injured then maybe management have a case but this smacks of short termism. I honestly think a good run in the U21s is more important to the long term future of Armagh football than avoiding relegation to Division 2.

i have looked at the  remaining panel and would struggle to replace the u-21s that are playing
for what its worth stephen harold should have been drafted in and carragher kept til wednesday nite
i assume that mal, donaghy and vernon are still injured so for the tyrone game we could have at least 10 different players, can only see, mallon,forker, mallon,mckeever and rafferty or anto duffy  come championship
anyway onwards and upwards

Berf, I also thought the Armagh support was very sparse. I was in the Hogan andwhile, we didn't have much to cheer about, You could hardly hear an applause when we did score.

i was in cusack and there were very few armagh fans, although when we did score we were always at least 8 points behind so there was no need to get too enthused. 

game was over before it started,  where do I begin, midfield pairing was a bad decision by management, feel sorry for kingham but that is twice he has been substituted in the first half, lavery too immobile on a large pitch ( actually thought billy joe tried hard) positives caolan rafferty, brian mallon and anto duffy tried.
I felt sorry for donaghy and andy because the ball going into the dublin forwards was excellent.
keeper doesnt cut the mustard for me, he has good reflexes but his kickout selection is poor.
feel that morgan,hanratty, AK, jamie and Stephen Kerna would get on that side and only hope that Toner gets back in time otherwise we will only have two champioship games this summer.
could have been twenty to twenty five points in this game.

Second half not much better

 ::from an Armagh perspective the first half was awful
Should have stayed at home

Really disappointed with adam, Carroll and downing, Kenny dalglish and Commolli must be under pressure. I could see dalglish being moved upstairs this summer .
Would take rafa and the lady boy back with Carroll back to Newcastle .

my niece hurt her knee( cruciateand needed surgery) playing for her county, they were insured  and to be fair to them immediately give details to facilitate the claim but the insurance company are trying everything to avoid paying, they have asked for records to show it wasnt a pre-existing injury and for the third time invoices
brother so far has paid out the operation and rehab but still chasing the insurance monies

so who are waiting for from crossmaglen? i only see jamie and arron getting on at the moment

Cúl baire?? Young Cunningham might have a shout..I'd say one or two other Kernans would fancy a starting role also??

You heard it here first!!!

James Morgan will play senior championship football this year for Armagh

have to agree with this

can see sk,ak and hanratty as well as cunnimgham getting games this summer as well

it was the immortal words of murray
" ffor every £5 celtic spend we will spend £10"
this is truely a great day when dignity fc go under
