Looks like it. When these due to be played?

Mourne man · January 16, 2013, 09:54:18 PM

at the weekend down monaghan for armagh

Pretty sure that's it. They're down for Sunday. Potential double header in Armagh again maybe? Some impressive enough performances tonight but wouldn't read too much into it against limited opposition. Cavanagh looks in great shape with the shooting boots on. Thought Lafferty and Gallagher were very good at winning ball around the middle. McKenna scored a couple of nice points and sure he'll get more goes.

ONeill · January 16, 2013, 09:56:46 PM

This Sunday I think.

Redhand Santa · January 16, 2013, 10:25:29 PM

Double header in Armagh. Down Monaghan at 2, Tyrone Fermanagh at 3.45.

Ahh, another clash with the 'sleeping giants' of Ulster football.. I know it's early days and all that but I hope the watch the video of the championship meeting at the same venue last year (this is the first time I've been able to address this topic openly btw..

) Two teams who seem to be in scoring form, should be a good one.. Glad to see Finlay back in the Monaghan squad and also to see some of the newer players impressing so far.

For any of ye that have been to the Tyrone games, so far which of the new comers have stood for ye.
Is young McAliskey in with a shout?

A few of ye seem to think Lafferty could be a descent enough half forward.
Am I right to say Cassidy & Sean O'Neill out til the summer if not longer?

God14 · January 17, 2013, 04:03:26 PM

Cassidy & red Sean dropped no?

Cassidy - if fully fit - could well be back come the summer. I dont think there are that many options here despite the 38man squad. Even last night there, Conor Clark looks more at home in the defense. Sean Cav is an awesome No. 14 but still doesnt win enough clean ball at Midfield. Plunkett Kane looks useful in the half forwards, but not really the imposing presence we want in the middle. In Fairness Colm Cavanagh will be available in Feb.

No need to try Sean O'Neill in the half back line again, exposed far too often defensively IMHO.

If the games go ahead (weather permitting) they are being streamed live on Armaghtv website.

God14 · January 18, 2013, 11:31:20 AM

Interesting development that - the live streaming & one I hope more counties adopt in future. Particularily good for the the exiles etc, however I could swear there was a directive from Croke Park only 12months ago outlining their opposition to the process & telling the respective County Boards to desist from it.
Presumably something to do with selling broadcast rights

Also - Jerome Quinn used to do a great job on these McKenna Cup matches. Does anyone know why he no longer covers them? He seens to focus on Ladies GAA, Colleges & also Gaels abroad...

Armagh official site says that the Ulster Council have not given anyone permission to show either game live.
