Roscommon v Armagh AI Round 1 Quailifer

[alba2]

Some craic in the last few days from the men from crossmaglen... Aaron Cunningham tweeting that there was a divide between the cross players and county management... i think in fairness to paddy o'r he gave quite a few lads their chance from that club - a.c included.  He was in the panel last year and when in the championship in july - instead of playing with his county - he pissed off on holidays.  then this year before cross are crowned all ireland champions he does an interview stating that he will need time off before joining the county setup... some pup aaron some pup.  played three games in 2012 and needed time off... dont make me laugh. And good oul oisin... The man who was in with the armagh set up last year if im not mistaken.  Didnt make much of a hand of it yourself big lad.  You should stick to managing those wee teams in the lower divisions of monaghan til get your experience.  All this talk of Tony Mc Entee - a man that has a county title handed to him every year as an amalgamation of all other teams wouldn beat cross - they have til win maybe one tough game in ulster and then one in the all ireland series.  But credit him - caus thats what he is doing i suppose.  One thing for sure if he was in charge - i bet the cross players would be training with their county in Jan and Feb and not the bull shit we are seeing now.

Your comments regarding Tony Mac are harsh, even he has acknowledged that he doesn't feel he is ready for intercounty management. Your other comments highlight a problem that has existed for some time...the integration of Cross players into the County setup. I don't think you can blame one side exclusively. As for the twitter comments Aaron Cunningham is no different to a number of young and not so young sports people who should perhaps have kept their tweets to themselves. It can't be denied though that tony Mac is getting the best out of the talent he has and has a system to play to. Something that has been lacking in Armagh since 2008.

Ah lads, there's only one Tony Mc and he's ours!

I think Crossmaglen are a very good side and get the most out of the talent at their disposal for sure - but they are not world beaters.  They are beatable on any given day - but noone has the balls in armagh to do whats necessary to beat them.  Yeah there are young and not so young who tweet all the time - but he is the one who said it after the way he treated the county set up when he was there - bit of a joke i feel.  Tony Mac was inexperienced when he took the cross job and it hasn worked out too bad for them.  3 in a row would be some achievement - but is there a lack of b***s here to take the top job when offered?
