Armagh v Dublin - NFL 05/02/11

[DUBSFORSAM1]

Being shown on Setanta

[Applesisapples]

wouldnt be too harsh on O'Rourke just yet, they've been missing maybe 8 players that would normally start and whatever new cross players that would potentially come into the panel.  I'd save the judgements for when he has a full complement of players to pick from

I would agree, POR hasn't had a full panel yet. The McKenna Cup has been littered with poor performancesin the past. My one concern is perhaps the over complicated nature of some of our play and donal Murtaghs defensive mindset. I would like to see us attack and score more. The players are there. Why is Tasker not being considered, given the rave reviews he got in last years Cross games.

Don't see why avoid pubs between Red Neds and the ground, Toby a good spot and big Eamon played both Hurling and Football until age caught up.

Keegan's also good bar and think Kevin was joint manager when Ballhegan won intermediate championship, so hardly non GAA bars.

[Groucho]

When is the team being picked?

[heffo]

Really looking forward to this now.

Fair play to the Armagh county board on the job they've done with the new stand - looks great in pictures.

ogs club situated right beside the athletic grounds...30 second walk!! making a bit of a day of it with all the sport on the big screen during the day and bit of music after

[All of a Sludden]

Might head up to this on sat evening. Where is the best place to park if you are going via Newtownhamilton.

[Don Johnson]

Will you be able to go and pay at the gate just?

[All of a Sludden]

Its hardly all ticket. Few of us going to go up to see the dubs get tanked.

(St Vincent's)          (Templeogue Synge St)        (St Oliver Plunkett's/Eoghan Ruadh)

-----------

With all due respect to two honest players especially Casey, I can't see why Gilroy is persisting with Casey & Lally at wing back - Darren Daly did well last week and shouldn't have been left out.

Is Murray the hairy boy that was full back against Meath?

Is Murray the hairy boy that was full back against Meath?

Thats the fella - he's not a full back - with the two O'Carrolls & Paul Brogan unavailable he's just a square peg there for the moment
