Laois v Armagh, NFL Div 2, Round 1, Sat 2nd February

[Orior]

Might need to pin this thread to the top until June.

What other players is missing from Armagh bar the Cross lads?. I fear another short summer ahead but hope i'm wrong as that team just doesn't get me all excited. Maybe some of them young lads will step up to the plate and things might not be so bad

I hear you. I'm not expecting big things this year from us. But I hope I'm wrong.

Donaghy, Vernon to come back yet.

has Andy Mallon packed it in?

has Andy Mallon packed it in?

He's living and working in Dublin. Grimley didn't include him in the panel, but he may return.

Anyone know how to get to O'Moore Park from Portlaoise train station? And how far is it?

[armaghniac]

Google says it takes 17 minutes to walk

Is Billy Sheeman playing for Laois.  That should spice it up...

Well now, I don't think this match is the place for that sort of thing

Will you Tyronies leave the Kerry lads alone?

Jesus. I've never come across such pessimism as I've seen from the Ard Mhachians on this thread!

I think even Derry have more optimists!!

There's simply very little to be positive about. We've lost 8 of our last nine matches, replaced a floundering manager with a selection of the previous two regimes and enter into Saturday's match without our star forward, missing our best corner back, full back and arguably also our most talented midfielder. We field without a recognised man marker in the starting XV.

That said, 15/8 about an Armagh victory is probably big enough.

If you set your expectations low enough ye will never be disappointed!

I am optimistic about this game, Grimley is a winner, he will have us winning games this year.

I for one am really excited about the real football starting, C'mon Armagh.

Anyone know what radio is covering the game?  Thanks.  C'mon the Forkers.
