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

[Main Street]

Just put them to the sword first, then afterwards think about if they deserve respect or not.

I just don't get this lengthy discussion about naming the best Armagh team, what's that all about? what difference is it going to make?

[Schkite]

It would be a great help if we don't get a black card in the wrong to one of our best players yet again.

But then it is Marty Duffy reffing so I won't hold my breath.

But anyway we have a lot of scope for improvement both in attack and defence after the last day, so hopefully we'll see some of that on Sunday.

See Paddy Heaney continues to take the hump with Armagh. Got a right gub on him today in the IN with Armagh refusing to talk to the media. Seems to think McQuillan was generous to us. That's laughable.

Heaney is a first class w**ker - let him at it, he probably didn't even see the match the way he reports.  Gobshite!

[Abble]

any chance this is going to be televised ?

Most reporters will take the hump when teams go out of their way to prevent them doing their job. It kinda goes with the territory.

Armagh are huffing and blaming the media for the Cavan bust up. It's laughable stuff.

This whole taking the hump with the media can't be anything other than counter-productive, surely? Plus, it looks ridiculous.

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? 

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!

Regardless of whether the free was warranted (and I'm assured it was - I missed the game), my point, tongue in cheek as it was, was that if there was a big conspiracy to defeat the northern teams, you wouldn't have been given the chance to equalise, warranted or not. Nor would our star forward have been black carded in reportedly dubious circumstances.

But yeah, "crying pr1ck'". You stay classy.

Is it not fuelled by the Media's ridiculous slant in reporting it as Armagh being the aggressors and it possibly being premeditated - clearly led by the Irish News. Despite Heaney's article being proven factually incorrect (and therefore the premise of armagh being a big bad wolf) there was no retraction and no change of tact in follow ups. What do they expect - especially when you consider that people in the Armagh camp barely speak to the IN due to their years of tabloid journalism speculating on and undermining management.

I suppose we can justifiably blame the media for that.

Indeed, that's the supporters' job.

[Armaghgeddon]

Did Heaney not report that McConville did something to McEntee's sister a few years back?

The media are hateful bastards in reality.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Also remember that Heaney reported on a supposed fall out in the Armagh camp in the run in to the Cavan game. There's not a team in the country that wouldn't react to this type of journalism in the manner that Armagh have. I think Heaney is officially on the wind up at this point.

Monaghan hoping for history to repeat itself, with some help from the Ref?
