tirnanog were beat by a point.. was a good match and a draw wud have been fair result.. good 1st half by newtown and good 2nd half by portadown and bad match by referee, he was inconsistant and gave silly things but let three man tackles go all day. not much effect on game, maybee shud have gave portydown men a point. but both teams look strong and will be there in august..

was at the tir na nog sarsfields game today. handy win for portadown, looked strong with score line not telling the full story.  sarsfields will have alot to do to stay up, game was over early on. was thinkin at half time that there acctually was a good ref in armagh at halftime ( never seen him b4) but he tried to even it up in the second half, hense the score line. however strong win for portadown, if they up it a gear they in with a chance.. brian mallon looking good and strong, good news for armagh, looked fit..

so what did jarlath say..
i know the forum wasn't everyones cup of tea but it was excellent for up to date info in club and county issues..
we cant rely on the county board and county secetary to keep us up to date, they just dont seem to wanna give us any details, county pr is embarrasing, we cant even keep our small piece in irish news up to date on a friday, we're the only county in which u cant get up to date league tables

cheers donagh

what is the story with the orchardcounty.com website,  went to check it out there and its suspended. anybody know the craic

davitt park is not even the best ground in lurgan mckenna cup games shud be in clann eirann at least they kook after their ground

Ballymacnab hardly disgraced the county in Casement, a bit of pushing and shoving was about the height of it and they were unlucky to be made an example of because the media!  Wasn't it the ulster Council who handed down that punishment? The same people who allowed 8 or 9 St Pat's players off their suspensions for an awful lot worse and no don't worry, I'm not starting all that again!

Say some tool in the club hits a referee, why, in the name of Jesus, should the whole club be punished?

i think it was more than 1 tool that caused all that a couple of years ago with ballymacnab with the ref and yes they did show armagh county up with their behaviour in casement. if they had got what they deserved then we wouldn't have this shit now. what you're saying is it was ok for ballymacnab players and supporters to fight in casement aslong as the media wasn't there??? i don't think so..  once again it makes our county board a laughing stock.. i think the last good thing they done was appoint joe kernan resulting in the all ireland, since then they've been a joke

have to agree, the ref needs to be protected. if they feel intimidated then the game is f@%ked!

i think the county board has to take the blame on this one. as said before it happened 2 years ago and how did the county board punish ballymacnab?? they gave them CLUB OF THE YEAR!!! then they went on to disgrace the county with their behaviour in casement park all because they were made out to be great people after what happened. when something like this happens a club should be kicked out of all senior competitions for 5 years, but once again our county board made a joke of itself and we have the same problem 2 years later

to hold the county final in davitt park would be a big embarrassment for our county. people come from outside this county to watch this event ie down and tyrone, and for this to be the venue for our showpiece would be a let down. don't get me wrong this ground is capable of being the best in the county but is one of the most run down grounds about in the county. On several occasions i have turned up as the away team and been handed a set of nets to put up ourselves (the only ground this has ever happened to us). there isn't even a score board, its the little things that count. unfortunately cross is the only ground that has the all round facilities for this event with the only others coming close would be abbey park and the bridge only for there surfaces to let them down. 

good win for the clans yesterday i see. was the boy mcalinden playing who was involved in the incident with the referee in whitecross match playing, (think i got the name right). i hear there is some sort of mix up with his suspension

i'll decide where did you get your fixtures for new leagues. only last week we were told by north armagh board that we weren't in it. typical north board haven't got a clue, no-wonder ballyhagen went to mid board. its not good preperation when you only find out on tueday morning in irish news that we have 2 games on wed and thurs

does no-one know what is happening with the u16 and b all county leagues.

can anyone tell me if the all county leagues are going ahead at u16 and b level

If ou read it carefully armagh true i wasn't saying that it wasn'ta valid reason i was merly asking was that one of them. but in future i will put in a fe question marks for the bamsticks in the audience.

tut tut tut for a man that just wanted to give a bit of jip doesn't seem to beable to take a bit sorry winsamsoon just thought it might have been a bit harder to get ya goin 

Well Armaghtrue the Clans didn't play cross because they didn't play cross it certainly wasn't because of a wedding so i am lost as to what you are getting at. Secondly i wasn't giving off, i was merly trying to give a bit of light hearted jip. Thirdly, I am a clans man and to date i haven't been able to find out the true story about the cross match ie, whether the points were forfeited or did both teams agree to cancel so i would like to know where you get your infomation? saying that you are the oracle and oh wise one of the board.( Again light hearted in case you take offence) 

well winsamsoon you were just pointing out that there had to be a VALID reason to call a match and was just wondering what your valid reason was that u didn't play cross didn't take much to get ya goin  obviously i touched a nerve there  :'(while there is obviously politics in the clans ranks, otherwise as a player you would know the answer after 10 days
