I can see were duffleking is coming from but to call them "the 6 best defenders in the country" is laughable.  The majority of armaghs 6 defenders against down have quality and credentials and have shown that at the top stage!

mallon, mc keever, duffy, moriarty all ireland u21 winners. 
Donaghy ireland aussie rules team
Dyas, drafted to the afl

To say that these players are not of the highest standard is laughable, time may be needed for them to adapt and gel together!

Forgive me for presumming the criticism does spawn from this year, after all we are posting on the down vs armagh page(reading through posts most references are made about armaghs 2 defeats), not the POR should be axed page .  If these matches were won would we even be having this conversation??  But fair due, last years championship was a bit of an anti-climax with that hiding by Monaghan, and blame should be put towards management!


My mistake regards mallon, assumed he marked brogan (missed match ), after all the lack of natural corner backs in the county could a could only assume... the point im getting at is that it even a player of mallons standard will slip up, nobodys perfect 100%!

Are people actually serious here?? 2 narrow defeats to, arguably, 2 of the top 3 teams in Irealand last year and POR is getting a bollocking for it! Sum people need to realise that little fact before the crucification begins. 

As regard to andy getting "skint alot this last while", the poor fella's usually assigned the task of marking the oppisition best players.  I feel that not 1 player in the country could contain the likes of brogan when hes being supplied with countless oppertunities! 

Finally, the Ciarian mc Keever issue.  Hes a first class dickhead! But we should take solace in the fact that hes are dickhead, he gets in players heads and on their nerves.  Id rather see him playing chb for the orchard than anybody else!

P.S., if and when the 2 clarkes return i could almost guarentee these close encounters will sway are way (am pretty confident them boys could muster together a few scores )

oh ye of little faith!!  A can assume that por knows what he's playing at on the sideline and that all the preperation are for the sole purpose of when down travel to armagh in may (giving grugan experiance now).  I agree that toner needs a solid midfield partner to shift the responsibilty in the fielding department (possibly the younger duffy from the ogs)  Armagh are the underdogs for this match, a tag which they have carried on numerous occasions and would suit them down to the ground!  Armagh aint done yet!

Intresting debate going on here! Imo both teams are equal in terms of squad quality, a think posters are mistakeing bothg teams achilles heel's for bad players!  Honestly at the moment down would have the pick of the players (Clarke and Coulter would walk onto any county setup) but armagh always have that resilience to grind out results when they need to.  Hopefully it will set the stage for the real contest come the summer. 

Armagh to steal it at the death
