Tyrone v Armagh

[ONeill]

Not a bad draw as the two week break will help clear up any niggles. Also, we'll be playing a side running out for the third week on the trot. On the downside, feckin Armagh. Hate those games. And Omagh.

You got in before me there O'Neill (how do I delete my thread?)


Delighted with the home draw and pleased with the opposition, whether it will be Armagh or Wicklow. Both teams will be hard to beat and if Armagh come through it will add a bit of spice to the occasion, Healy park full to the brim would be some occasion!

No point hoping for a poor(er) team at this stage, you want to be upping the ante each game. The extra weeks rest should help the likes of SoN, Hub, Swift and Justy recover further from their respective knocks.

No point getting ahead of ourselves but whichever of the three teams advance will be content with the losers from Mayo/Ross. Another tough game but winnable all the same.

Ach it's just that gut vomity feeling I get playing the Orchard. A bit like Derry in the 90s.

[clarshack]

could have been worse.

[Gaffer]

What s the timetable here then?

We will play armagh/Micklow winners when? And if we come through that we play round 4 when?

Quarter finals are scheduled for 31st July

[armaghniac]

We've arranged Micko to give us a good training session in advance!

[tyroneman]

Hate playing big games at Healy Park.

Armagh will raise thier game considerably if they get past Wicklow (which will not be the forgone conclusion many think it will)

Who will handle Clarke is the question? Ricey?

Everything is moved back a week for the teams in this part of the draw. The Round 4 qualifier will be on the weekend of the other 3 quarter finals. Tyrone's quarter-final will, in all likelihood, be a double-header with the first All Ireland hurling semi-final.

And so the codology begins. Admit it, you Armagh men know that was a blip yesterday evening. You'll stroll into Aughrim shake Micko's hand and come up the road with a 10 point win. The week after that Jamie Clarke will bag 2-04 and you will be on your merry  way to Dublin on the second week of August.

The supporters of whatever side comes out of this draw are the people losing out because with their quarter final being on with the semi final they will be made pay semi final prices

[Siggy]

Happy enough with the draw. The rest week is a positive as is the home draw.

Unless the draw pitched the winners of this section against the Dubs resulting in a stand alone QF on the second week of August. Additionally, this will provide the Dubs a ready made excuse when Tyrone give them a thumping as they were made wait too long for their game

[David McKeown]

Awful draw for Armagh if by the grace of god we manage to get past Micklow. our greatest weakness this season is on the line. We have continually been out thought this year and now we go up against one of the best in the game ever. Added to that Tyrone have more than enough defenders capable of handling Clarke and McDonnell (I'd imagine Gormley and McMahon or Ricey to be given those jobs) I honestly can't see Armagh getting within 6 points.

On the other hand an impressive win for Tyrone might re-invigorate the older players for one last push for Sam.

I know you've put in the highlighted caveat David but I wouldn't even contemplate this tie and possible match ups until after next Saturday.
