Usual pinch of salt to any named team.

Morgan has to be an injury doubt with Shields the favourite to replace him. Any of Rafferty, Campbell and O'Neill could feature

Happy enough where Armagh are
If we lose then it's cos players aren't good enough
For me Just have the feeling we will be there later in the summer

If Armagh lose it may not be cos the players are not good enough it took Kildare several years to recover .

don't know why lads rate Sharry

he slows down the play too much, usually gives a slow lateral hand pass after deciding for 10 seconds what to do with the ball
and he fancies himself way too much

                      Darren Quinn;
Mark McCallon, Kevin Maguire, Jamie Gonoud;
    David Lynch, Frank Boyle, James Dolan;
               Paul Sharry, Ger Egan;
    John Egan, Kieran Martin, Sam Duncan;
     Kelvin Reilly, John Heslin, Killian Daly

If that team starts I wouldn't be optimistic about our chances. Quinn's head can't be right after the kick outs the last day, Duncan hasn't seen one minute of pitch time this year, Reilly didn't do enough with all the chances he's got this year and Daly is a defensive liability. See Shane Dempsey has throw his hat at it too as not on the bench.

Here's an idea - play him at left corner forward. Hey presto - problem solved!

I've a better idea, leave him on the bench where he deserves to be. I rarely buy into cases of managers having favourites but in this case...

He's a good footballer, but he never was and never will be a corner back.

Agreed Shark, that much was obvious 3 years ago. Outrageous that he is still put in there on the likes of Con O'Callaghan and O'Gara.

There was an error with the subs listed so Dempsey may still be in there, should find out later.

I know this might sound silly but Armagh having a few big guns coming off the bench could be the game changer here, I know you should always start with your strongest team and KMcG has obviously went with the 15 men he believes is on form but for me if Westmeath start to tire and we introduce S Campbell and M Shields it would be some lift of pace and quality to Armagh

Stefan carrying an injury?

If driving in from Delvin or Dublin, where should I park?

I don't mind walking and would want to get away quickly (after we've secured a handy win).

Is match parking well signposted?

Ahem, there is nothing on the Westmeath website which is any help to travelling fans.

Mullingar Shamrocks off the Delvin road will look after your banger. Tunnel under the canal and you'll avoid all the traffic in town.

So before the game you are saying no matter what happens in the game it will be the players fault for not being good enough. Strange
