Anyone have an image of hurling sticks. preferably 2 crossed over, or some other recognisable image to represent hurling

It it possible without any complicated software/hardware, to transfer handy  a Powerpoint presentation to DVD format/CD? If so how?

Hearty - average in patches still a liability - McEvoy has to be starter next game, pity previous regimes treated McKinney that bad that he had to quit
A Mallon - Steady enough game, not his best for Armagh but defiantly not his worst
Donaghy - Very good, not only an able replacement for Francie, and even better player and would imagine even if Francie had to stay on panel Brendan would still be at No.3
Shannon - for his championship debut pretty good caught a few times early on and picked up a yellow card, but for man who played 3/4 game on yellow in corner back he done very well
Finn Mo - steady enough wasn't outstanding, pretty average performance
C McKeever - steady first half good second half lost without him in middle for his strength and fearless mentality (glad Mugsy head didn't get in way that while kick Ciaran took in first half)
A Kernan - below par, didn't get the freedom as he normally gets against lesser opposition maybe yesterday he was exposed (as he was before against Tyrone) for his lack of defensive ability.  Surely a switch with Paul Duffy would have been better option if Peter wanted both on team, and play 6 defenders 6 forwards instead of 7 and 5
Toner - disappointed enough with his performance, though his opponent was great still thought Toner would put up better performance
Lavery - Pleasantly surprised put in serious work caught some great ball got a score(though with another bit steam behind him could have been a goal) Armaghs MOM
Duffy - showed glimpses of potential but not good enough in thta position, though that is not entirely Pauls fault, because its the sideline that dictates that one.
M O'Rourke - 2/3 game below par, played a bit middle second half someone told me he has been carrying a knock and hasn't been training fully, explains allot - lack fitness etc
B Mallon - 2 great points linked up at times well, other times disappointing
Stevie - frustrating still maintain he's a greedy player and takes shots on when not needed, were a pass to an other player is better choice i.e. taking a point yesterday first half when Clarke was in for goal
Clarke - well marshalled first half change tactics(again problem with sideline initially) led to Clarke exposing full back line and causing a it of havoc - how many times was he fouled throughout the game?? some cynical stuff
K O'Rourke - I thought decent performance and disappointed to see him come off

T Kernan - shouldn't have left bench
S Kernan - done ok, give away a few created a few
Forker - did well

Team fro Qualifiers i would pick

McEvoy
A Mallon Donaghy Moriarty
A Kernan McKeever Shannon
Lavery Toner
Forker/S Kernan B Mallon M ORourke
Stevie Clarke K O Rourke

Obviously if Charlie is fit he's on but don't think he will be, we have to play 6 defeners & 6 forwards

Think then be a case of telling your team no need to reply

teamer.net not useful if team is along the border, it can't cater for a combination of both northern mobiles & southern phones

Athletic grounds is closed for 6 weeks, for Maintenance work

This is what I picked out of last weeks Newry Democrat - they did a round up of managers in S Armagh and S Down

[McClelland]

So far how many of the new players being tried out might make the jump.  Obviously you will have at least 7 Cross players to come back to the squad, but what other players will make it.  I have to say I am glad to see McClelland getting back as I remember him from minors and thought he was a class act, Henderson and Toal seem like they could be good additions.  Who else?

Will be lucky to make panel after cut, a carthorse - if he had anyway near a bit of spped he'd be usefull but even Francie would put him to shame in a race

Harsh on Peadar Toal considering it was his first competitive GAA match for club or county in well over a year.

And, of course, the fact that he hardly touched the ball could also be attributed to the ball not coming near him.

Think IMO the fact it hadn’t trained and was only back to squad had a bearing on the situation, i feel also a factor in Peter McDonnells selection policy - how a lad that’s only back can get straight onto squad and get on for a half is strange.  Seems it could be just to keep him happy and make him come back - if that’s the case its poor management.

It's McKenna Cup, would it not be starnger to try him out in the league untested?

Well if its committment is to go play soccer and be unavialble for McKenna Cup games id have him nowere.  Interesting to see will he feature much in League - can potentially be a great talent - though i think its a big IF

harps folk, will he be back playing club football too all this year?

Similar to TAC
That there is a problem after the AGM with certain people's votes, about who was in and who wasnt
Cant end well

Problems just dont stop at AGM and the votes as far as im aware, also Pints hear from very reliable source that John rafferty was appointed but not sanctioned by the committee - on hearing this Rafferty got out quick

Seems to be a bit of a slow down in Dublin at the moment, not much coming in.
Mightn't be a bad thing!

A definite sign of the credit crunch, open cheque book is no longer there

wouldnt know that, but would imagine they are non members
