Think back 2 months. we were all convinced Healy Park was a worry. Then we thought Tyrone couldn't make a second mistake.
a week ago after 15 mins of the second half Laois was like a steam train coming down the track but we held on, thanks mainly to that inexperienced Full Back line for whom Turley and Howard were excellent.
I think we are all apprehensive about tomorrow but we are playing Championship football in August when we had no aspirations to some months ago. Croke Park has been some what bereft of true colour since 1994. There is no sight in the world like the masses in red and black.An Dún Abú.

It's amazing how Irish they become when they are away from the nest.

Also a fact that even when "Sammy" lives in England he's " a Paddy" as far as the brits are concerned

???That's what I am saying they deserve home quarter finals matches against teams coming out of the back door as some sort of reward for being provincial winners. Teams coming out of this weekends game should be glad to be in a quarter final no matter where it is played

And where in the name of God would Armagh be able to play a home AI Q/f

I don't think that keeping our lads heads out of the clouds is the problem. it is instilling self belief and accepting that we can go further yet respecting the fact that Wexford are a decent team with quite a receny hyistory of playing at HQ.
Good to have Dan on board but there is a job to be done.

dont put us down people in the same bracket as armagh

We won't, you'd need to win something more significant than the McKenna cup in this century to have a hope of that.

One AI and it goes to their heads

Typical

As said before ONL, football was only invented in 2002. Anything before that does not count.
Our neighbours are like new money. Vulgar, lacking in class and sophistication.
we may or may not win on Saturday but we know we will always be ahead of the deisel smugglers and their bling. True class is permanent.

Hope we are at least in the draw to play the Dubs

Think Turley did well at Full Back given that he would rarely if ever had played in the full back line for his club. Has always been CHB or midfield. No nonsense player and you'll never find him doing a Clancy or Roper. Whether he would actually line out on the square would obviously depend on who Wexford would be playing there.
Yet as a lot of previous posters have said its great that we are still in the mix in August. Not many would have believed this as the league stuttered to a close in the Spring

I would play murphy at midfield if Dan play play, Murph has came on leaps and bounds this year and is one of our leaders... l Peter caught two balls near the end and fair dues to him but if you look and the goal Kingston got and one of the Offally goals last week, you will see that he came out and missed the ball and a goal was a result!!! Dan Mc Carten would be a better man for full back!
if we have Dan Gordon i expect Down to win but if we dont, we are in trouble!!

Also does anyone know the exact number of championship goals that Benny has, i think its 16 but would like clarifiaction!

Might be wrong, Tom but am not convinced that Turley was actually marking kingston at the time of the goal as he had just been moved off munnelly on to No 10. Was switched back just after it and though Kinston did beat him to 1/2 after that Big Turleys fielding at the end was the difference between going out and staying in the qualiifiers.

just tried that but just short on reach

why are these games on monday night? whats wrong with sunday evening??

the county suits are prob staying in laios for the night

And what would that have to do with fixtures? I would imagine it is more to do with giving the players a rest if they happen to get beaten on Sat.Easy option to knock Co Board for no reason

Note the happy face, i think it is quite obvious it is to allow the players a break after playing on sat night, after all we want all players to be fit to play for their club teams.
so do one up the hoops

Smiley face my arse. Just aniother one of these guys who cannot help cheap digs at Co Board at evrey turn. No pleasing some people. Almost sound like an Ards Man

Should we even bother turning up on saturday  I'd hate for poor little ol Laois to get in your way of your charge towards croker

They scored 5-19 in their last game laoislad. You'll just have to face reality, ye haven't a hope !

BUT we conceeded 2-10 so dont count your chickens

He's trying to be funny
yep. He's the free state version of the tosser from "The pass"

Tosser.

Well if Tommy Dowd knew when to keep his mouth shut its a pity that Tosser Fearon couldn't do likewise. Never seems to know when to button it with his innane mutterings

sorry AFS to quote you "wouldn't be for throwing Donaghy in at the deep end just yet) and McKinney would struggle under high ball too. "

i think heart is an absolute disaster under the high ball ... never forget cross v e. ciaran in x , he shit the bags with a 5' 6'' lad comin in. he always takes his eye off the ball no matter size of man comin in


as for donaghy in at the deep end.....laughable.......how he  got took off again down i'll never know...he was playin a stormer



if armagh play like they can and don't play like they're scared of fermanagh next day we'll be ok....IE play the 6 up front !!!!

Hearty has always been dodgy under the high ball and distribution is suspect.

Francie is a spent force at this level
