Ulster Championship 2026

[Armagh18]

How many of those would have been loyal soldiers for Geezer and never got a look in til now?

Armagh have earned an Ulster and should do it.

Who do you mean?

Armagh have unreal bench player retention, men hanging in for years to get a chance. McGeeney knows how to do it

Armagh have earned an Ulster and should do it.

From recent memory, Rian O'Neil came straight into the starting team when he was first drafted onto the panel.  There are players that would be known around Armagh as good prospects, but have limited roles their first year or two with Armagh.  Tomas Galvin this year being a notable case.  Gave up soccer to play for Armagh.  Think he got a few minutes against Down and thats been it.  Same for the younger O'Neil.  Good talent, limited time. 

This method has worked out alright for the like of McMullen and McQuillan, who are excelling at present and have not been rushed into the starting team despite their quality.

He's the exception- was probably the best player in the county by then anyway and I suppose the team back then was a good bit easier to break into

I want to see what Tomas Galvin is capable of - is he a bit like Conaty?

On the game itself, Monaghan always seems to have our number. A battle ahead.

Armagh to win handy this weekend..

This has been a crusade with the management to win an Ulster.

Monaghan's efforts last day was their big win and it's been a hard season so far with all the defeats on the league, but an incredible run through to the final will come up short.

Unless Armagh shit the nest or get a player sent off, all plausible lol, then Armagh to win by 7 pulling up

Are you trying to do a moonster prediction on this game? Speaking of which if he tips Armagh then the smart money is on Monaghan.  I might add the manner they beat Derry it was a name on the trophy type win.
