Corcaigh v Ard Mhacha

[Orior]

I can also see the scoring average being easily overturned.

I think Armagh's gonna get a real beating here on Sunday lads...hope i'm wrong. Thats a v strong Cork team named

Very strong.......after a couple of bad performances I'd say they'll be out to prove a point. Bad news for us. No word of the Armagh team yet. The IN article during the week didn't read too well either with POR admitting that they had been errors in concentrating on the forward play after the Kerry game and neglecting the defensive set up. He basically admitted that he should have played more Cross players against Galway also...........really confirms what we already knew.

I'd imagine Paul McKeown will get a run out on Sunday but his lack of height will be a problem against a very big Cork attack. Hopefully we'll get a chance to look at David McKenna also. My team, for what it is worth........

                            Hearty

A Mallon                 Donaghy           P McKeown
K Dyas                   McKeever          AK

              Toner               Vernon

Mackin                  Nippy                D McKenna
J Clarke                 S McDonnell       G McParland

O'Rourke's not naming it until Saturday apparently. Just putting the finishing touches to his tactical masterplan no doubt.

Perhaps he's driving around Cross' looking for Stephen Kernan's house.

I may as well say it out loud - Armagh should survive. By Sunday evening you'll be wondering what the fuss was all about.

I predict that the "fuss" is only starting!

[Oraisteach]

So, boys, has P O'R named the team yet.

[armaghniac]

What's the story here, has PO'R a secret weapon that he doesn't want to reveal too soon?

Last week wasn't good, in particular how Galway were allowed a 5 point win which fecked up the score difference. It is hard to see us getting much tomorrow, but perhaps the team will show and bit of fight. When we were last in Cork we were expected to do well, but put in useless performance. As I recall Charlie Vernon was one of the few to put a fight that day, hopefully he will do better tomorrow than last week.

Exactly. Armagh are in the strongest position of the 3 teams - they're the only ones that (a) have their destiny in their own hands; and (b) can lose and still survive.

and (c) are playing a team that still has something to play for; and (d) are playing away from home; and (e) are playing the All Ireland champions; and (f) are managed by Paddy O'Rourke.

You forgot those last few.

[TacadoirArdMhacha]

Still awaiting the team announcement. Maybe Houlie's coming back.

Hope you're right, Naka.

To be fair he's done that since he took over the job so there's littl enough new about it.
