Armagh v Down final is the people's choice.

Quote from: tiempo on April 24, 2025, 09:56:01 PMWhy did Joe Kernan take McGeeney off in 2005?

Getting too big for his boots apparently.

Quite the time and place to try and make a point

Quote from: thewobbler on April 24, 2025, 10:03:55 PMIs any part of this team sheet right?. He might has well have named the 2002 AI final team.


The players will wear those jersey numbers, expecting a starting 15 named with numbers corresponding to position is for the birds

Will Armagh go back to their traditional orange or wear black like they have alot this last few seasons.
Like Derry they seem to be changing their home jersey but at least Derry colours are red and white to start with.

It is quiet here for such a big match. I think this has the potential to be a good one. What are the chances of Daragh Canavan playing? I think Tyrone might sneak this one (depending on the Armagh team vs what's listed).

Armagh by 5,  but with discipline problems

Aaron Boone

McGeeney's Armagh continue to be on an upward trajectory. The All Ireland win has brought further confidence and belief.

O'Rourke by contrast brings a relegated Division 2 outfit to St Tiernach's Park. It's been a flat trajectory for Tyrone since the 2021 All Ireland win.

So a comfortable Armagh win with Mr McGeeney keeping one eye on the bigger fish like Kerry down the road.

I laughed when i first saw them wear the all blacks outfit, but they've since said its because of a few colour blind boys, fear enough then

Had to rewind the RTE GAA podcast yesterday to make sure I heard Jacqui Hurley right ... she was asking if Tyrone will hold Darragh Canavan back 'for bigger fish' later in the year :-) ...

Duine Inteacht Eile

I imagine she means games rather than teams.
She is probably of the opinion that provincial championships are virtually redundant and while nice to win, they are approaching McKenna Cup territory for the top teams.

J70

Donegal have the same team named again. Eoghan Ban and Caolan McGonagle back on the bench. No idea if either are fit, and I doubt if the same 15 will start two weeks in a row.

Jason McGee might be in for McFadden and Gallen for McBrearty or Conor O'Donnell.

It's a difficult one, if he's a doubt and he plays and properly tears the hamstring he could miss the group games and Tyrone's season might be near over at that point.

Given his Da's wry smile when asked the question last week, I reckon DC is ready to go.

Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Never seen as much Yerrasism on a thread that didn't involve a Kerry man.

Tyrone are winning this game if Darragh Canavan starts can't see any other result.
