Well dunno where that came from but up Cavan. Beggan mom, what are they smoking in BBC?

Ridiculous decision, they were dying to give it to Beggan simply due to the fact that he got an NFL trial.

Personally thought Beggan should have done better for that first goal in injury time.

Thought he was poor for all 3 goals. The 3rd one he was obviously up the field and was ambling back, but even the first 2 goals he was rooted to the spot and didn't make a move or dive or such. His kicking was decent as usual, but could see that time out of playing and moving did affect him

Doesn't send a great message to the rest of the squad when Beggan can just swan back in, with no training, and start.

And it was obvious too. All well and good kicking for months in practice, and running reps in the US, but clear he was short of match play compared to others out there. He looked goosed multiple times 2nd half late on and got caught once, and even some of his placed kicks were off target when he was blowing a bit and fatigued

It's reported Darren Hughes is home out of hospital tonight and there's nothing broken in his leg. An MRI in the coming days will determine the extent of ligament damage. 

Saw that from Cahair O'Kane. Could be one of those ones where you might have been better breaking your leg. I blew my knee 10 years ago and surgeon said a bone break would have been easier to fix

Is Tyrone/ Cavan in Omagh?

No, Breffni. Cavan were away today, so they get home next day out. Tyrone would have been at home if Monaghan won

Hard luck to Dreadnought who lead from the start afaik

Yeah a couple of results caught me. Led up to week 7 of the League I think then fell back one.

Thanks for organising and delighted to win it

Well done lad, just couldn't get back ahead of you there! Slimmest of margins, so congrats

Jaysus Cavan men; was expecting a lot more from yous today. Bar a few times in the second half when we struggled with our kickouts although the game was long over we never had any issues at all.

Can't know what happened. We lost a few men before throw in, and some lads with no games since Round 2 came in, but jeez we were still so bad and open.

Padraig Faulkner not warming up for Cavan which tips the tie even more in Armaghs favour

McVeety replaces him. Kiernan in for McLoughlin, Ryan Donohoe for Gerry Smith too. Cormac O'Reilly takes the 12 jersey

First part of the double secured

Class result for the lads, showing the hard work being done. Have gone up a division and not looked out of place at all

[I can't see how the British are let off with putting in no more money here, Euros or not.]

If the Euro soccer doesn't happen due to no more £s from the Brits then provide what you can with the funds available..new pitch, 5,000 seat stand, some terracing.

Imagine thinking a GAA style stadium straight from the 60s would be sufficient going forward for years... Clones needs replaced, an Ulster final location is needed. Your suggestion ain't it

No Brit money = no Euro soccer = GAA have £80m (possibly plus our €50m).
Who then is going to pay the extra £75m to build a 34k capacity Ulster Final Stadium?
Just asking a realistic question

First off, the GAA requirements are not the full cost of the stadium. GAA needs are far less than the UEFA standard, so if no Euros, or they don't want to host UEFA matches or such in future, then the cost gets revised down quite a bit from the silly figures being bandied about the place. I can't see how the British are let off with putting in no more money here, Euros or not. The original NI executive allowance is very far below inflation levels, and in order for some sort of stadium to be built, they will come in with something. I can't see how it will be swallowed politically if Ireland chumps in with 50million a few weeks ago and they do nothing, yet will get the tax proceeds of a stadium there. A very good stadium can be built with no Euros, but the point being is for a little bit more, the Euros can be done and you leave a modern legacy stadium there for all and paid off nearly immediately.

Well, they have continually underfunded the north  for years , so  not stumping up money for Casement would be  nothing new.

Oh absolutely, but getting one upped by the Irish government? I can't see it
