the american rule is that when a player transfers to a team in the states he is barred from returning to play for his own club for 60 days. when the 60 days are up he can return at any time and is eligble to play immediatly the transfer is signed back. ps i hope the transfer forms were signed by the harps. a point of note also the boys who returned and then flew back out to boston to play in the all american finals after togging out in the armagh championship 1st round had to be illegal for one club??? was it san fran or ? rules breach? interesting!

The 3 Harps lads who were in San Fran were still there for the first round of championship, they missed the win over the nab, so when they flew back to Boston they were still legal to play for San Fran as they didn't feature in any league games whilst they were home. Any participation for home club in any game ends the American transfer.

So I fully expect to see Loughran on Sunday, off the bench with 20 to go.

Just want to say that I passed through the city yesterday and its a credit to both teams and their supporters the way the town is dressed up. However was a bit surprised that outside the Ogs ground that they had their flags flying higher then the County one - very bad form!!
Good luck to them both but especially the Harps who our family have always loyaly supported.

Any Ogs men know what time Loughran's flight in from the states is? He would need some time to get over the jet lag!

Anyone know when the last time a Div. 2 team won the Senior Championship?

Even if Loughie did fly back he would be ineligable to play (plus I wouldn't start him as I don't think it's fair on the boys who've busted their ass all year ) for the Ogs so I'm sure he'll be enjoying himself in San Fran waiting to hear the result.

Spirit word on the grapevine is a badly injured quad muscle any truth in this? If so its a bummer for him def deserves a crack at a county final.

Why would he be ineligible to play? Surely it's the exact same situation as Kelly, McCoy and McConville who were in San Fran? They came back to play in Quarter Final, just because he comes back later does not make him ineligible to play.

Have heard Ogs men referring to it as their "Johnny Corvan" moment.

no disrespect to Greg, great player, and an engine in him that never quits, but i dont think he is in the same league as Corvan. IMHO

heard a rumour STEW arrived in the country and was seen at Harps training togged out on Tue night

I'd love for you to be right nash, the sight of Loughie coming on to drive the team on would certainly make me feel good - I'll wait to see on Sunday but I'll not hold my breath on it

Whatever team that doesn't get upset by nerves will win this game. Ogs are the better team with no real weakness, Harps have a few outstanding players and are capable of causing an upset.
I'm going to go for a Nippy Swift inspired Harps to win by 1 point.......don't know if my heart could take it!!......nor my liver afterwards

Hope it is a good game and that there is no controversey.

BerfArmagh · October 16, 2009, 11:59:42 AM

Oh there'll be controversy, you mark my words...... local derbies between the Harps & Ogs are never straightforward. There will be at least 1 dismissal, 1 penalty & 1 appaling referreeing decision to discuss come monday. Hope all of the above 3 are against the Ogs

Up the Harps... Can't wait

ITS KAAAT · October 16, 2009, 01:02:42 PM

C'MON THE HARPS LETS DO IT.

He mite be fit for 1 half

thewanderer · October 16, 2009, 02:18:38 PM

local derbies are not as big a deal as a few years ago, when the local hard man thumped the shite out of the new kid on the block and put him off his game. different generation, the team best prepared, fitest, more talented and hungrier will prevail
