NFL Division 3 2017

[bennydorano]

Armagh have been great to watch this year, fantastic at times going forward, against Div 3 sides right enough, but it's much better than last year.

I genuinely think we have the makings of a very good side, I don't see the value of ditching McGeeney at the minute (& it's never gonna happen anyway folks - he got 5 years for a reason), he's got a squad of players who look like they would run through walls for him. Obviously there's work on the defensive side required, nothing wholesale unless we want to revert to  an awful Tyroneesque gameplan. I'd say there's been some valuable lessons learned in that league campaign. We're a Midfielder or 2 and a CHB (young one) away from being a proper outfit anyway.

OK don't ditch Geezer, I personally have the utmost respect for him as a man and the player he was. But he needs help, there are good players there and a better organised team wouldn't have coughed up those goals.

This isn't a slagging or anything but after the game Sunday and the warm up done all the Armagh player lined up in 2 lines and all high 5ed each other....i dunno, maybe tis all team building and moral or something but I wondered what the players thought, if it was me if be wondering what the f*ck is this shite....all of them heading off to the pub and having a big blow out would've done the world of good

[Croí na hÉireann]

Cannot even see who we'll play at home. Westmeath, Sligo, Armagh and Offaly are away matches at least.....

Westmeath - we've won in de dump before, we'll win in de dump again
Sligo - Marky Park, it's a fortress ... not
Aaaaaaargh - you're kidding me
Offaly - a doss in Mullock Mór

Think we're due to play you in Mullingar next year Billy. Also dump is a bit strong, sure it's only one of the stands that is sinking into the ground...

Pull up the chair there Croí and welcome back. All to look forward to next year and, yes, we'll be playing ye in Mullingar. There is a plan now (hello 6 million euro) to do a 'Leaning Tower of Pisa' job on the stands in Pearse Park. But when that commences is anyone's guess.

Maybe they did hit the pub?  Would have done them the world of good if they had.

Good to be back SS. I suppose us Midlands folks will have to be civil to each other what with all the nordies throwing their weight around. Where in the name of Christ are ye going to find 6 million?

A number of them did you will be glad to hear. Although the keeper played a match for his club.
Hope you enjoyed your trip to Armagh.
Good luck on saturday

It was definitely better than our trip up 2 years ago!! We played exactly as we've played all year performance wise and there's not a person there who wouldn't agree that it was daylight robbery. Something encouraging about getting promoted without having a performance about 6 out of 10, 2 months now to get fully fit now and improve in our play for the cork match. Saturday is a bonus now, it would be great to win but no sleep will be lost if we are beat

Tipp do the 3 goal thing again in the final, to win  3-19 to 0-19. Mind you 19 points is fairly respectable also. However stopping the goals would seem to be the path to beating them.

Correct and right. They are a goals team.  They score heavily at times alright. Good spread of scorers too.

Watching Kerry the purveyors of pure football taking a black card to win the game and thinking about the naivety of Armagh last week
It  simply shows why Armagh will win nothing
They don't have the   Smarts to win at all costs

+1 but even they almost left it too late and too close to goal.

Imagine, an Armagh team needs to learn cynicism from Kerry.

Longford due 4 games at homes next year , will be travelling to Sligo, Armagh and Offaly.  At worst 3 of Westmeath, Derry, Fermanagh and Wexford will be at home. At best all 4 . As we travelled to all the counties who were either promoted or relegated, we should be at home to those counties who came down from 2 and up from 4 . Will be confirmed around September / October
