Armagh v Donegal USFC 14/06/2015

[JoG2]

Why do a lot of you ignore James Morgan in team selections? Charlie Vernon is a serious footballer and if tasked with Murphy I'd say he will be up to it. I just have an inkling for Armagh. That said Donegal are a serious team, although I think they are on the down slope. It just depends how far up the other side Armagh have got to.

I agree Apples...I think Donegal are weaker this year than previous years and it's just a wait and see if Armagh has progressed from last year. I also agree about J Morgan and he'd be in my team. I think he's perfect for McBrearty and can nullify him out of the game, if Big Charles can keep Murphy relatively quiet Armagh will win this

he'll need backup obviously, he goes 1 on 1 with McBrearty he'll get roasted. You'll have to double team McFadden and Murphy as well. Keep an eye on the runners from the half back line and stop MacNiallais getting on the ball. Clarke will do well to get a point from open play. Armagh are really up against it, but on the day in championship football, anything can happen

He marked the Gooch (1 on 1) for Cross as a cub and never got roasted Jo!

we'll see. Would be madness to go 1 on 1 the kind of form he's in imo.  The frequency and speed of balls into him will be different than in a winter club match Walt.

True. Bit of a difference in arguably the greatest forward to ever grace the game and McBrearty all the same!

True, though McBrearty will be playing a lot closer to goals

Anyways, we'll see on Sunday. Looking forward to it (as are all the Dubliners on here,  secretly)

Morgan was very poor against Omagh last year and got taking off very early if I remember correctly.

Can't see past Donegal, people talking on here of their demise are badly mistaken. they started off slow last year to. For the few weaknesses they showed against tyrone we still couldn't break them down in second half.

I think they will win by 3 or 4, Vernon wont be fit for murphy

Lads, any recommendations for a good, supporter-friendly pub in Armagh city to watch the Galway-Mayo match in afterwards?

[The Iceman]

you'd be welcome anywhere - Red Neds is as good as you'll find - short walk from the field.

Yeah, I wouldn't be shocked if this ended in a draw either.

Sounds perfect a chara, I'll head in there afterwards!

Always liked Armagh ones, we got a great many of you in Rann na Feirste over the years, including a couple of lads that I hope have an awful day Sunday, and a fine remainder of the summer.

Ah Shane dry them, Charlie will give him all he wants.

I suppose I will support Armagh due to the lough shore connection, lough shore barbarians have to stick together. greetings from Derry

[Throw ball]

Not quite anywhere! The Ogs club beside the pitch will be buzzing. Walking back to the town you could try the Toby Jug and then Red Neds (oneils). If you cannot get in there walk to the far end of the town and try Devlin's or McKennas. Do not venture into pubs in Scotch Street or Barrack Street.
