Have to agree that I think S Kernan isn't up to county standard, but if/when he starts on Sunday he'll hopefully prove us all wrong.  Dont think anyone should be giving him, or any other armagh player abuse during a match, if your not going to support the team dont bother going.

Yeah its all ticket.  You should be able to get tickets off your local club if they haven't been given out already

Lads yis are assumming that McFadden will be playing in the corner forward position.  He played in FF in the league final, and I think he will be staying there with Devenny on the wing.  I'd have Geezer or Toner in full back with enda in the corner.

the team I'd go for is:

Hearty

Mallon
Geezer
McNulty

Kernan
McKeever
Dyas

McGrane
Toner

Lavery
Marsden
O'Rourke (or maybe Toal)

McDonnell
McConville
Forker

O Neill quit raving.  Pat Spillane started the diving.  Laois last year were ridiculous. Martin O Rourke has a bad name for it but one thing that cannot be disputed Marsedn hit young Jordan and diserved to go.

Catch yourself on will ya! Jordan ran at Marsden, bounced off him then lay down and cried like the cheating little shit he is!

The ref can maybe cut down on the time wasting, but there's nothing much he can do about diving or cheating, he's being conned as well.  Its down to the coaches and players themselves to get rid of that stuff.

Tyrone definitley aren't the only team at this, just seems like there is more individuals willing to do it.  Every team has 1 or 2 players like this though, even Armagh! ie Martin O'Rourke

just confirmed on Hoganstand:

Derry's Ulster SFC hopes have suffered a major blow with the news that star attacker Paddy Bradley's appeal to the Ulster Council against his three-month suspension has failed.

Bradley's second appeal against the ban was heard by the Ulster Council's Hearings Committee on Thursday night and despite the Glenullin man's presence at the hearing, the provincial body ruled that the ban would remain. He had previously made an unsuccessful appeal to his own county board against the ban which was imposed on him following an alleged altercation with a referee at the end of a club game between Glenullin and Loup last month.

Bradley had continued training with the Derry squad in the hope that the suspension would be lifted, but he's now resigned to missing the Ulster SFC opener against Antrim on June 3 and a potential Ulster semi-final against Down, Cavan or Monaghan on June 24. He would, however, be eligible for both the first and second round All-Ireland qualifiers on July 7 and 14.

dont think they make whispa anymore.

Eh, pretty sure Ronan Clarke might be injured!  McConville will definitley start.  I'd say Marsden will be in centre half with loughran in full forward, wouldn't be my pick though.

As in once they get knocked out of Ulster? or can ye see them doing well in Ulster itself

In the qualifiers, dont think they're at the level of Armagh or Tyrone at the minute but should go a fair distance in the qualifiers.

I can see Cavan having a decent enough year,  Monaghan as well.

But of a stupid mistake by the management, especially with Toner there as well.

Shane Smyths a quality player as well though, scored for fun last year and he's doing the same now this year in Division 2, and he used to be on the county panel.  McClelland's definitley not a full back though, usually plays midfield for Granemore with Toner.

Its easy to follow games when Coman Goggins is commentating. Uses more english than irish! By the way did anyone think when they were a nipper that there was a fella playing in the minor match on All-Ireland Sunday whos name was Joe Na Cearnóige? A savage amount of ball used to go into him! Not saying I thought this, it was ehhhhh...........a friend.

Who is he?  Anyone ever used one of those CDs for the car to help you learn/relearn Irish/
