USFC Semi-Final Armagh v Monaghan Saturday 28th June 7pm

[orangeman]

Nudie Hughes and co on Northern Sound were going ape shit over the last Armagh free. Any more objective views out there?

Nudie wouldn't be biased at all would he ?

As clear a free as you'll see. Blatant pull on the jersey.

Good fighting display by Armagh good value for the draw. Does both sides have to play three weekends in a row now? Well done to the Armagh minors by knocking out the Ulster champions and reaching the Ulster final.

Mixed bag from Monaghan today. Our normally tight marking backs seemed to struggle to stay with the armagh forwards. And the forwards couldn't make room at all. Beggan managed to drag us along. Subs made an impact again but a huge improvement is needed before next weekend. As for having it in clones I'd say a lot of Monaghan people wouldn't mind a spin to somewhere else for the replay. Clones just means no panic on tickets.

Was listening to northern sound. The Cavan ref was to blame for everything according to the commentator. Nudie was going on about a dogfight and how Monaghan needed to get out of the kennel.

Clones suits both teams for the replay as it's good preparation for the final

Is BBC showing a highlights show of the drawn game??

Armagh have come a long way since that 5-16 to 0-7 defeat earlier in the year. McGeeney effect?

[Maguire01]

Appeals rejected and rafferty out, we have little chance of putting it up to monaghan! Nd hear mcquillan of cavan to ref it, joke, why bother! This stinks as much as derrytresk v dromid few years ago, kick the nordy team nd make sure you weakn them that so much they cant compete!

Seriously, throwing in the towel already?! McQuillan is, in my opinion, one of the betters refs around, and - putting aside the integrity of the man for a moment - the idea that a Cavan ref will want to give Monaghan team a handy route to an Ulster final is laughable.

Also, the 'nordy' chip is just a bit cringe-worthy.

Well orange? Still have that chip on your shoulder?

McQuillan was brutal all over the pitch, I would say Armagh had more complaints about his decisions than Monaghan who got a lot of handy frees imo.

The physiotherapist from Mayo will be along to comment on your man's arm.

I was standing on the Hill just under the TV cameras and there were 3 Monaghan men I'd say well into their sixties and every time the young lad no5 for their minor team got the ball they were coming out with the most racist and vile stuff I've heard and tbh I don't even think they knew they were being racist they were that ignorant and every other young lad that made a mistake they're saying useless c**t or should have stayed at home to f**k. Then a few Armagh guys stands next to me too for senior game and the shite they came out with to the Ref was unbelievable and cringe worthy stuff (u free state bastid etc)...so I had a rough 3 hours tbh.

As for the game I thought it was exciting but not the best quality, Armagh scoring from play was much better whilst Monaghan relied on Began's free taking (which was brilliant BTW) for Armagh I thought Clarke, Campbell, T Kernan, Days and McKeever were best. With the 3 suspended lads to come back next week and of Course Monaghan believing they can play much better it should be another close hard game...could we get another draw next week;-)

I can't imagine the Monaghan lads were in a generous mood, queueing up to buy you pints after that.
Overall I thought Armagh were hard done by with some good chances missed and should have won. Monaghan were fortunate to get another chance.

Where/when on the replay?
I just downloaded the game today from sharing irish torrents.

Suppose youre in agreement with O'rourke that mcquillan was hard on youse,  WTF! What a crying pr1ck, he gave you alot of handy scorable frees while we had 1 soft free, the one at the end, which was a blatant jersey pull so was a free!! Nd O'rourke says mcmanus' tackle "wasnt that bad," so kyle carraghers was?!? Corey was lucky not to get a black as was the other wing half back for blatant body checks which mcquillan gave frees for but didn't give blacks!
anyway we deserved a draw and in another day cud have won, monaghan will be a different animal the next day! We'll need a big improvement!

when do we find out what time the game is on at next sunday ?
