Armagh Club football & hurling

[ogshead]

Any predictions for sundays final.?

Personally i think that we will have to improve greatly to pull it off.
Dromintee are a step up in quality from St Pats and our semi final replay performance would not be good enough to beat them.

I'll not bite 

Someone did.

Was it meant as a dig?

I fancy Dromintee to finally get their maiden championship! If they dont win it on Sunday they will never win one....

treatment clans are getting is a joke.  just because they are one of the aristrocats of armagh football teams both in north and south armagh seem to take pleasure in trying to get them put down to the 2nd tier in rma.

[IVEDECIDED]

At last - an honest neutral! Fair play.

in the clans defence there wud def be more dirty,niggly, hateful teams in div 1 than themselves.  dont know why people wanna see them go down def easier 4 points available in the league 4 teams.  maghery were sitting pretty 2nd in table 4 the majority of season, clans wipped the floor with them the game i was at.  if clans got the right man a the helm next year could see them top 4 in league and get a good championship run..

Well they're not going down this year and i've seen quite a few of their games this year and i believe the will turn this around and be up near the top soon enough. I don't believe the current management team know how to play this new team and they certainly didn't look the sharpest this year, with the right men in charge and a few of the young lads coming through the Clans will be back challenging for honours.

It's not just the clans i go to watch, i attend a match every week around the Lurgan area and have seen a good bit of the Tones and Clann Eireann too with the odd Sarsfields game and enjoy it but i have to say on ability the Clans def seem to have the more skillful players on Board but their management team don't seem to know how to get it out of them

would agree clans far superior than any team round lurgan ability wise.  we did quite well this year with a good mananager, clans to be brutally honest have had a complete clown managining them this year and imo this has helped them have a very average season, by their standards.  no discipline,no authority.  10 men at training 2 days b4 a vital game(v cullaville) to me shows the manager a walkover.  for the sake of north armagh i hope there a change in management next year

another conspiracy theorist...maybe you should all get together and go ufo spotting some night....do you really think if clans had won the league and for talks sake say peasre og's were in the position clans find themselves in..do you think that the likes of cruppen who didnt field would field??

according to clans posters they have previously, can only take them on their word.

Not going to comment on this issue other than the players have to shoulder the blame as well. Bear in mind the manager took on the job when few others wanted it.

I have to say I was amazed by how poor Clans were this year. Very uncharacteristic of them. We have a horrendous record up in Lurgan yet we gave them an absolute hiding away from home (albeit at Clann Eireann rather than Davitt Park).

Yeah man i said the same, a couple of players told me the way they're playing reflected the management. (roll over and take it up the ass) I seen a row in clann Eireann park when they played Maghery and when a fight broke out between two players the Clans manager ran on and grabbed his own player whilst the Maghery man couldn't believe his luck and punched on whilst the clans manager held his own player The manager then went on to tell his player he didn't want any fighting so what about protecting yourself . Dunno if this is true maybe some of the Clans men can clarify this but i heard there were 2-3 players (guaranteed 1st team players) who after seeing how bad the management were in their 1st year decided to take a year out until they had gone and left their post.

Thats not great attitudes and you'd have to ask about their commitment but it also says a lot about the management

[lolafrola]

Just as we were talking about management there. If a guy manages a team and he's brutal (see above) and none of the players want to play for him and the guy's totally lost the dressing room, if there is no one else looking the job what should the club do. Fitzroyalty pointed out that no one else wanted the job so does that mean the current manager should have it for as long as he wishes (should he take them to Div 4).

I know that was directed at Clans (sort of) but I've seen it around the town with clubs and management (St Paul's, W Tones, St Peters and Eire Og i hear are the next culprits)
