McKenna Cup 2024

[Fuzzman]

For any of ye that have been to the Tyrone games,  so far which of the new comers have stood for ye.
Is young McAliskey in with a shout?

A few of ye seem to think Lafferty could be a descent enough half forward.
Am I right to say Cassidy & Sean O'Neill out til the summer if not longer?

[God14]

Cassidy & red Sean dropped no?

Cassidy - if fully fit -  could well be back come the summer. I dont think there are that many options here despite the 38man squad. Even last night there, Conor Clark looks more at home in the defense. Sean Cav is an awesome No. 14 but still doesnt win enough clean ball at Midfield. Plunkett Kane looks useful in the half forwards, but not really the imposing presence we want in the middle. In Fairness Colm Cavanagh will be available in Feb.

No need to try Sean O'Neill in the half back line again, exposed far too often defensively IMHO.

If the games go ahead (weather permitting) they are being streamed live on Armaghtv website.

[God14]

Interesting development that - the live streaming & one I hope more counties adopt in future. Particularily good for the the exiles etc, however I could swear there was a directive from Croke Park only 12months ago outlining their opposition to the process & telling the respective County Boards to desist from it.
Presumably something to do with selling broadcast rights

Also - Jerome Quinn used to do a great job on these McKenna Cup matches. Does anyone know why he no longer covers them? He seens to focus on Ladies GAA, Colleges & also Gaels abroad...

Armagh official site says that the Ulster Council have not given anyone permission to show either game live.

[Mourne Rover]

It's difficult to see any football being played this weekend, unless Armagh has somehow missed the worst of the blizzards. Hopefully there will be a Saturday inspection, with the option of a postponement unitl midweek looking likely.

No snow lying in Armagh yet.

[Mourne Rover]

Most of the country still seems badly hit by the snow - any more reports from Armagh ?

[Redhand Santa]

Doesn't seem to be any snow lying in Armagh city. You'd imagine at this stage the games will go ahead.

[Etienne Lantier]

Any radio stations with commentary online from the semi-finals?

http://www.northernsound.ie/ have will updates and some live coverage during the games.

[Mourne Rover]

A narrow win for Monaghan - the Down GAA Twitter gives the final score as Monaghan 1-12 Down 0-13. Down led for most of the game but when Keith Quinn was sent off for a second yellow mid-way through the second half Monaghan seem to have finished the stronger side.
