DUBLIN V ARMAGH sat 17th @ 5.00pm croke park

[under the bar]

Dublin are pure doirt at present, not much better than the worst in Ulster and Armagh will coast this one so put your house on them.

[Armaghgeddon]

in the championship! i do refer to "the last crowd" you know who...

[armaghniac]

NFL D2 final was in Croke Park...

I am not at all sure that Dublin are that bad, but it is useful that the younger Armagh players have had a winning experience in Croke Pk.

[David McKeown]

Of the likely 30 starting players I would wonder who has played most times in Croker. I remember meeting an Armagh statistician in 2005 or 2006 and he said that Armagh played more games in Croke Park between 2000 and 2005 than any other team including Dublin

For Armagh im guessing in order of appearances at Croke Park it would look something like this...

2000-2006

1. McDonnell - Would be safe to say that he was at almost all of them.
2. R Clarke - From 2002 he has been at almost every Croke Park appearance
3. Hearty - Has played in goal for Armagh since 2003
4. McKeever - 2005
5. A Kernan  - 2005
6. P Duffy - Not sure
7. B Mallon - Not sure
8. A Mallon - Not sure

Also to add to that the U21 success in 2004 and in regards with the Cross players all Ireland club final appreances.

In 2008 initiation of Fin Mo; K Toner; C Vernon and M O'Rouke to the team.

And now in 2010 I would say all the team has played at croker.

Would say the Armagh team is more equipped for the big occassion.

6. P Duffy - 2006 v Kerry???
7. B Mallon - 2004
8. A Mallon - 2003

the Down game was helpful as it prevented the Wexford debacle being the last game.

[Armaghgeddon]

McDonnell has been to Croke Park twice this year. U2 concert and NFL final

[Armaghgeddon]

6. P Duffy - 2006 v Kerry???
7. B Mallon - 2004
8. A Mallon - 2003

P Duffy indeed played there against Kerry in 2006. Not sure about the Mallon's I can't remember how old they are.

If you think playing the current Dublin team is a big occasion then you must enjoy watching Derby County play Notts Forest on TV.

Both remind us of the good old days.

Ha Ha. I like that.

[Armaghgeddon]

Regardless of the result this game isn't going to give any team the answers they need.

It will simply remind us of better days. Because both teams are so far away from 2002 and 2003 models its not funny.

We should probably ask them to redo the draw then. Waste of time this game, by the sounds of things.
