Tyrone 5-16 Armagh 0-7 and other neighbourly thrashings

[BennyCake]

Too many steps for goals 3 and 4.

[barelegs]

Did Rafferty (I think that's who it was?) get a black card for that tackle for the penalty? Or was there any others shown?

No there were no black cards shown. By my counting (I'd struggle to remember them all now) but Armagh could have had three. The referee seemed very reluctant to give them.

The ref took no action at all. Coward!

1. Deliberately pull down an opponent.
2. Deliberately trip an opponent with the hand(s), arm, leg or foot.
3. Deliberately body collide with an opponent after he has played the ball away or for the purpose of taking him out of a movement of play.
4. Threaten or to use abusive or provocative language or gestures to an opponent or a teammate.
5. Remonstrate in an aggressive manner with a Match Official.

No sanction for pushin?

Armagh County Secretary has left his post. Did he see this result coming?

Or bear hugs!

That was some finish for PJ's second goal.

I think the only way Tyrone folk could add more hyperbole to this result would be if it emerges there is a Tony Fearon booked into the Silver Birches next Saturday night.

All winding aside, this scoreline is impressive given the fact that Tyrone had an experimental and youthful team on show against a far more established Armagh team.  Nobody is really getting ahead of themselves considering its only the McKenna Cup, but impressive all the same.

Probably explains it a bit then. An experimental, youthful, eager team, with talent but a lot to prove are an absolute nightmare for a more established team who are going through the motions a little bit.

I would hardly call Armagh an "experienced team"

We had 7-8 lads who are either in their 1st or 2nd yr on the panel.


As bad as the performance was, slightly reassuring we have Kernan,McKeever,Donaghy,Morgan,McGeown all to come back into the defence, with Dyas+C.Rafferty into the forward line

Slightly...

This was in the Waterford News back in the day:

Shortage of space necessitated holding over until this week the full story of Waterford's hurling debacle on St. Patrick's Day.

The future if one can possess faith in such, is anything but bright for Waterford hurling. The Decies prestige and reputation slumped to unprecedented depths by the Leeside when Cork, in effortless fashion, handed out a thirty-three points trouncing to the visitors. Ironically enough, Waterford were fortunate to escape with such a deficit.

[...] While examining the pros and cons of the present position one must bear in mind that suitable inter-county material within the county is limited, and the immediate prospects appear far from rosy

The score was Cork 10-11 Waterford 1-5. The year? 1959. I wouldn't get too upset about it if I were from Armagh.

Of the team listed to play only Philly McEvoy in nets, Mark Shields, Tony Kernan, Ethan Rafferty and Jamie Clarke played last year in the championship. Granted Andy Mallon and Charlie Vernon have played regularly before but Charlie was playing completely out of position at FB and Tony Kernan likewise at CHB.
Horrible, horrible result but it wasn't an established Armagh team by any stretch of the imagination.

Philip McEvoy, Andy Mallon, Charlie Vernon, Paul Hughes, Mark Shields, Stefan Campbell,, Ciaran Rafferty, Ethan Rafferty, James Lavery, Eugene McVerry, Kyle Carragher, Tony Kernan, Robbie Tasker, Jamie Clarke, Niall McConville. Subs used: Kevin O'Rourke for E McVerry (6 mins), Brian Mallon for M McConville (34), Johnny Hanratty for T Kernan (41), Ciaran MacIomhair for K Carragher (47), Ciaran McCooey for P Hughes (49)

So off the Armagh team McEvoy, Shields, Tony Kernan, Ethan Rafferty, Jamie Clarke plus Andy Mallon, Charlie Vernon, Brian Mallon, Johnny Hanratty, Eugene McVerry, James Lavery and Stefan Campbell have all played Championship football for Armagh before?

You used the term established.  I think you're stretching it a bit to use the word established to the players that I have highlighted.  Add that to the fact that we had a midfielder playing full back and a wing forward listed at CHB.  I want to make it clear that this isn't an excuse for the result the other night but to say that it was an established Armagh team is completely untrue.
