Bit of boxing in the intermediate semi tonight after a drab affair between Grange and Whitecross. County board investigating further and censoring all discussion on the armagh forum! Few Grange men need to have a look at themselves! Whitecross goading them after them losing the rag! Hard to look past Clann Éireann to win the final after demolishing Madden..

Only thing worse than a sore loser is an ungracious winner.

Clann Eireann looked very good. Some useful players. If they play to form the cup should be heading back to Lurgan.

Well we had both on show last night... not even sure it was a penalty but that was the catalyst for all the fighting that followed. Ethan Rafferty is an utter tool and I'm sure regrets his actions. Expect better from a county player. Never seen a team collectively fall for the bait so easily as the grange did last night. Was the only entertainment in that game anyway.

In the second game Madden were terrible so it's hard to judge who will win the final, Whitecross showed plenty of character and will be very hungry to return to Division 1, I'd have them as slight favourites ahead of Clann Eireann.

I saw Charlie Vernon react to similar baiting when he was playing for Armagh under 21s a number of years ago. A more placid player you  are unlikely to see. Rafferty will learn. At least it shows he cares.
The red card was correct though.

I dont understand this "i expect better from a county player" line. county football is a dirty as it comes there is flare ups and sly digs threw all over the place.....the lad reacted badly but he was only after losing a semi-final and was being goaded when there was no need....he got his red card which was deserved but i have watched club football in armagh for a long time and there is no club who are whiter than white, to call someone  a tool is a bit much from a supporter. god knows what was said to him. you boys would be the same crowd who cried aout about the tyrone team sledging and then when it happens in your own county, pass no remarks. he will regret his actions im sure of that,,,but some of the comments on armagh official board are over the top. one lad even wrote he should be no where near the armagh team and they will win nothing with him there...yet the irish news lists him as the only man showed anything for armagh this year...the lad is 21 and the witch hunt is on. im a moy man and i tell you what i would love to have him play for us.

Lol not a Tyronie pontificating  ;D

Look he's a county player and he's a couple of years under his belt so should know better at this stage, especially after how the previous hour had went and given it was against a team that is not adverse at all to practicing the dark arts. You don't see Saint Seán lashing out after all the abuse he always gets? Maybe you moy lads can give Ethan a few swimming lessons and he can channel his aggression into diving winning frees.

I'm looking forward to Sat nite and see how Maghery stand up To Cross, will they crumble or will they show some mettle

Maghery will win,  it's inevitable.  We have injuries and players away and just not at the level yet.  I just hope that the minors come through in the Final so there is something to cheer for this year.

County standard half back line, a near county standard midfield and a county standard half forward line. Aye BCB yous will do well to give Maghery a game  :P

I'm hoping for a close one but won't be surprised if cross win by 5/6

Soup an Samajiz

Maghery 6-1 in Paddy Power.. Buyin money  ;)
Think like a wise person but communicate in the language of the people

Cross Harps final then. No real surprise, Maghery despite all their posturing lack the killer instinct up front to put cross away. Harps dispatched of a nab team that although solid enough haven't really kicked on and have probably peaked a couple of years ago.

From 8-15 Harps are probably more than a match for cross but defensively I think they are quite vulnerable

Will this final go the same way as the rest...Cross hit early build up 4-5 pt lead and then tit for tat afterwards and grind out 3-4 pt win. What u reckon BC1 or of course Harps will be certs.

My honest view is Harps will never have a better chance...just have they the goolies for it. Will Aaron Kernan be fit to play?

Very much 50/50. With AK definitely out we lose an awful lot and along with no Jamie we will struggle. It really could be Harps year.

The Irish News today (John Mac) reckons AK will be fit to play? TBH Aaron's a quality player but i still think Cross will have 2-3 pts to spare. I still think Harps will not have a better chance but i don't think they'll take. For the sake of Armagh football (for interest alone) it would be good for a few other teams to sample a Championship

Lol @ the crossmaglen spin doctor. I've rarely seen Crossmaglen struggle no matter who or how many they've missing. That's why they are the team they are. Harps have a good midfield and good forwards but it's their defence that I feel they are vulnerable. Even without the piano player cross have a class forward line. Cross by 6
