McKenna Cup 2024

[Fuzzman]

I heard Mickey has a new cutting edge 7 man defensive system in mind this year

As I said ye all think its OK to give someone a "fair" punch to the Jaw

Yis are gas. So you're saying because some Tyrone players have done similar (or worse) acts then we lose our rights to comment?
Interesting. I thought it was a discussion board where there is freedom of speech but looks like you Armagh lads are making up your own rules again.

At least yis are kinda admitting that its OK to bully lads with physicality and the odd punch. Thankfully we've never seen an Armagh man dive or try to win a soft free. Yis have a clear conscious there I suppose

"How did it get into the stands nearly before the game ended".........might have something to do with Finlay being asked what happened my his management team when he was walking off the pitch.....his reply could clearly be heard by supporters close to the sideline....

I hope it has been picked up by the ref and is in his match report, and if not then hopefully Monaghan will report it through the correct channels.....

So the ref asked the umpire what they " heard" from 40 yards away and due to super sonic hearing they were able to relay the insult mckiernan supposedly gave to the Monaghan man. Pat McEneaney was at the game, he will be awful impressed with th umpires. Fast track them for the big time. Seriously, it's only the McKenna cup, can yis not lose with a bit of class for once in your existence?

Can yis stop using yis please

I didn't say it was ok to swing a punch. I said I'd think more of a player than one who used sneaky backhanded antics.

You sound like the Dublin journos who tarnished Armagh's reputation in the last decade. The sad thing was, it worked. And it's working again, McKeevers red card verifies that.

It was posted on ArmaghGAA and Twitter that this would be streamed on Armagh TV, but these posts have no disappeared. It would be a pity if this means it will not be covered, Wednesday night is not ideal for a lot of supporters who might be there if it were Sunday.

Think Armagh will be resting a lot of players for this game but not so sure if Tyrone will do the same given Hartes love affair with the McKenna cup and his desire to win 4 in a row. A trophy is a trophy even if it is a tin pot and I suppose the fact that they refuse to play challenge matches will force his hand. He has stated that he may even play Donnelly and O'Neill even though they played for UUJ already in the same competition, but it will make a total mockery if that is the case. Just hope that Geezer selects McKeever to put some manners on Cavanagh again but from what I can gather he won't be playing in this match along with a host of others.

Really hope that McKeever doesn't start picking on Cavanagh again this time, we need him on the field if we are to have a chance of winning the game

But then...

Have to admit I love reading the banter between us and the Tyrone ones. Reminds me of being at home

Just to clarify (the first post had a hint of sarcasm which isn't easily translated when put in writing) I hope he picks on him but is subtle enough not to get caught like the last time (even if it was handbags). If you look at Cavanaghs face when McKeever grabbed him he was like a scared rabbit, he is easily cowed by McKeever and will not want to come up against him.

Typical Armagh attitude concentrating on intimidation. No wonder your games end in brawls!
Just play football lads and stop talking tripe about your bully boy tactics. I'd have thought Armagh were above all that and it would be only the likes of Div.3 teams who would be resorting to such a thing,, oh hold on

Cavanagh is about 6'3 and 15 stone so you would think he should be well fit to take care of himself, so get away with this nonsense about intimidating him. If you want a non contact sport with no physicality then go to the theatre or watch a bit of ballet. Anyone who is being honest enjoys the physical approach and needle that a local rivalry creates, you give and you take. Of course you will have the pc brigade up on their soap box chanting 'down with that sort of thing' but those pundits are more concerned with their own media profiles than 'the poor children'.

Since when did the theatre and ballet come under the banner of a non contact sport?

Saying as the only thing you picked up on was the semantics, then I presume you have no issue with the actual point which is that a bit of physicality in the game should be embraced and not frowned upon in the manner of a pc junkie. Or maybe your just that petty that you have nothing else to contribute.
