AIQF 2017 Tír Eoghain vs Ard Macha, Sat. August 5th @4pm

[tyroneman]

Tyrone 4pm
Dublin 6pm

Will be close to a sell out.

[seafoid]

Armagh have been tested. Tyrone have not. Loads of needle.
Should be a cracker.

[Wildweasel74]

Is this the same Armagh team which Down beat and Tyrone then proceeded to hammer, can only see one winner, but in saying that the Tyrone posters on here are very cocky

[balladmaker]

Armagh have done well against teams who allow them to play as in the Tipp and Kildare games.  Tyrone will play the blanket defence as they do best and smother the Armagh attacks. That is the challenge Armagh have to overcome.  Tyrone hot favourites but from an Armagh perspective, bring it on, could be some game!

[Aughafad]

All this talk of an easy ulster is mute, as with Dublin you can only beat whats in front of you. With respect to Armagh, Tyrone should win this game in the manner of the derry/donegal/down games. McGeeney and Armagh will try and bring it down to their level and will not want it to be an open game like last nights against kildare as Tyrone would have too much for them

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Will be just like the old days with the colours and pomp in Croke. But that, alas, will be the extent of it, unfortunately for Armagh.

And they have been found wanting! Down!

You know much about football kid?

[illdecide]

You Tyrone men are too cocky and think you've only to turn up to beat Armagh, fortunately for you your manager knows more than the keyboard men and he'll know he'll have to do his homework to beat an improving Armagh team...bring it on.

Just hope the Ref doesn't spoil this game by sending a few men off, would be a pity.

And Tyrone is the finished product  - as you say they should hammer Armagh - hopefully the margins isn't double figures!

I don't know you couldn't send some of them Tyrone ones off enough!

[tonto1888]

Some fair Tyrone posters on here. This is bonus territory for us. Hope we give it a good rattle and give a good account of ourselves

[clarshack]

Armagh will try and bring it down to their level

Wonder if Armagh will start a melee again and try and get Mattie Donnelly yellow carded early on....

You can learn more from a narrow defeat than a facile victory.
Tyrone should win this well, but perhaps we can cause them some doubt along the way.

[tyroneman]

Amazed at the cockiness of the Armagh ones on here. Tyrone have played no-one, not been tested, easy Ulster....blah blah blah.

If Ulster was so easy - why didn't Armagh throw a shape at it then?

Armagh got beat by Down, squeaked by Div 4 Westmeath, just about handled Div 3 Tipp (who's main forward could barely run) and won yesterday by a deflected goal with the advantage of several soft refereeing decisions and Kildare hitting the post twice.

Yes they have improved, yes they seem to be playing better football and yes the old DNA will prob kick in and give them an extra 10%, but they should be careful of getting carried away.

Tyrone are not a bad side y'know......
