I am a fan of Liverpool soccer club and we are going to win the EPL this year.I get all my friends in Texas to watch the mighty Scouses all the time.

Yee ha

Welcome aboard Bob.

Having looked through your other post, I do enjoy the way you sign off yeehaa all the time.



Well I am a cowboy corn02. Thanks for the welcome, your most hospitable, a bit like us folk from the south. May I also add that I too like sweetcorn, do you prefer corn on the cob or corn in a salad?

Yee ha

This is so crazy, a bit like this board, but I don;t even like corn.

Nuts I know, but you'll get used to it.

Who do you prefer Buffalo Bill or Billy the Kid?

Are you in the know Corn?

I've looked everywhere and can't find stories linking us to bringing one of them in.

After being saddled with rumours all summer, i'll be keeping this one under my hat.

Saw some of the first and all of the second, very enjoyable game.

Defence, as expected, was in trouble. I say Distin will be in this week.

Midfield and up top were good. Lucas was probably the pick of the bunch.

Crossmaglen bate us oput the door, think there was 30 or 35 in it at the end.

Dromintee.

Final score: Cross 6-20 Drominte 0-05

Granemore will be licking their lips, and rightly so. If I was a betting man and not from Dromintee I would throw a quid or two on Granemore.

f**king hell! If there was a team on the field at all cross shouldnt have scored 6-20!  How many regulars were you missing corn?

Only heard a bit of the team, probably missing four or five anyway.

Unbelievable scoreline. Can this scoreline to be taken at face value or had Dromintee a ladies team out?


We had a few young lads out alright, but i'm sure Cross did too.

Big gap at the moment.

Side will be taking Granemore incredibly serious and an upset is possible.

Well there is of course the fact that a player leaked tactics and team before the monaghan match, i suppose some people might consider that infighting.

What tactics are you on about, it was hardly a secret the way he had armagh playing for the last two years

You can't honestly suggest that the leaking of tactics and marking assignments didn't have a big impact. Anyone who thinks it was not a big deal is living in loopyville.
I'll have to admit to living in loopyville so........seriously corn, marking assignments would've been fairly obvious. The one that had the most effect on the outcome of the game was AOR on Rory Woods but that was jumping out after the team was selected. McEnaney pulled a master stroke by keeping Aidan close to goal and exposing a lack of mobility and counter-acting Aidan's strengths particularly his passing. But I don't think he would've needed a mole to work out that Aidan was going to take Woods.

As others have said, our "tactics" have been the same for about three years now, which is a depressing truth.......


But that's specious reasoning though, isn't it?

I don't think it was a given that Aidan would pick up Woods. In fact, it was not a given that Aidan would be man-marking anyone. To know he was taking Woods, he deployed him further forward than usual. If he didn;t know until the start of the match the witch would not have been made before the throw-in and crucial scores were lost.

Of course not switching him out of the corner played a part. But knowing who was marking who, and that goes for all the defenders, gives you a massive advantage. YYou can shape your gameplan knowing that there will be no surprises.

I think it is naive to see it as just tactics that could have been worked out, implications run deeper than that and tactics and gameplans are just not that black and white.

at the end of the day it was a derby match and armagh lost by a point, if it had of been the other way there would be no talk of leaks and tactics

two dromintee posters persistant on blaming the leaks for the defeat!!!  Maybe there is an underlying reason for this!!!!!!!!




What a bullshit post, and shows you know you have this wrong. If your retort is "if we had of won it would not have mattered" then your argument does not hold much water.

Excellent to bring Dromintee into it as well. How dare we speak ill of someone doing this. Most condemned it but you saw fit to single out Dromintee posters.

Again if you think it made no difference you are off the pace completely.

I remember one night we were talking about Bob Monkhouse being dead. One of the lads asked

"Is he? Who does Des and Mel then?"

:D

:D D'Oh



Don't say D'oh. Only one man can pull that off and he isn't even a real person.
