Is it really? Most counties have goals at the start of the year, get promoted, avoid relegation, beat neighbours etc. do they really need a coping mechanism of devaluing competitions, I seriously doubt it.  There are about 26 counties under the new system never going win Sam, Derry don't need another Ulster but will probably win it, any other county would relish it.

I believe JoG2 was referring the fans attempting to devalue a competition as a defense mechanism for if they don't win it. Armagh will have failed this year (again) if they do not win Ulster. How anyone can think different is beyond me.

Armagh have shown glimpses of the 2022 championship form this year but I'd still be worried that they will slip back into last years negative mindset when faced with better opposition. The same thing happened in the League final again when the stakes were heightened and the fear of losing took over. 

The Ulster final, should we get there, could well be the defining game of the season because they won't be winning an All Ireland title. For a lot of those players it's probably the last chance saloon to try and win meaningful silverware.

Is it meaningful silverware?

It definitely is, anybody who says otherwise is deluding themselves.

Devalue everything except the one cup that's pretty much unattainable for most counties in a given year, it's a coping mechanism to avoid disappointment

This is it, 100%

Could make a whole thread of Curb scenes 😂

What Are Celtics remaining fixtures.

I've never seen worse. I mean the mullets on show are ridiculous. What is with the mullets!?

Talking about them us the only entertainment today.

Jarly was a red all day. In Kildare game lad just got red for exact same thing

I don't disagree with you but I don't think he connected with his head which probably saved him. And to be fair to the Fermanagh lad he didn't make a meal of it

Doesn't matter anyway, Armagh would win this with 13 players.

Jarly was a red all day. In Kildare game lad just got red for exact same thing.

I'd say jarly was saved by his daddy bring in the crowd and by McCusker getting up quick.

We always expect Fermanagh to make it tough for their opponents but they are playing like a junior B team here. It's sad to see.

That was an inexcusable miss by fermanagh for a goal.

A serious boost for Celtic, let's home the take full advantage

Is this all a bit of a show? Iran fires some slow moving drones so they can proclaim they have struck back. The drones are easily shot down so Israel can proclaim military superiority. Seems a bit scripted or at least I hope it is as this could get very nasty indeed

Time to switch over, ya couldn't watch any more of this.

This is some pile of shite of a game

Strong Armagh team named, glad to see Rian back starting where he belongs.

Geezer changing all the numbers around does my head in as if Fermanagh will think jarly og burns is going play corner forward and turbitt is going play wing forward.I would like see Rian get a run at midfield as think this a weak area for us, but burns, crealey or mackin could all play middle of the field.

Numbers mean nothing. Basically we will play with one or two men up the pitch (probably Murnin and Turbitt/Conaty), one or two men as designated markers at the back (Burns and McKay) with everybody else moving up and down the pitch. Same as nearly every team nowadays so this thing of lining out teams in 1-6-2-6 simply pre-dates the Jimmy McGuinness tactical revolution. It still bemuses me to see a half back get extra credit for picking off scores when they are often the best placed players on the team to kick points. 

Where will your goalie play?
