QuoteHope Donegal win this one.
We need them in good form for the Championship. Cant have Armagh winning a fourth Ulster in a row.

Hopefully Donegal will win their first league and have the prolonged celebrations that such an achievement deserves.

QuoteSaw a statistic on that show, I believe it said that Ireland is the second richest nation in the world. Is this correct or was the survey skewed in a way to make it look like it is ?

this is a tricky one, if you leave out the Luxembourg's, Bermudas and other small tax havens and oil producers then GDP per capita is not far off second place

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_per_capita_%28PPP%29

but GDP overstates things, on better measures we are probably about 9th place

QuoteVery best wishes to Dublin, Armagh and our good friends from Cork in Division 2 next year.

Actually, we just liked the company better in Div 2, we like to hang out with Monaghan people (who KM knows to be the best) and their generous neighbours in Cavan rather than have to trail off to the wilds of the West coast or the scrublands of Tyrone for games.

QuoteYou sad patethic losers...John O Donohue is a legend.At least he can see through you lot of greedy b*****ds.TD need to just face it..there only prolonging the inevitable.Soccer is the biggest sport in the Tallaght area and thats the way its staying.Now that Croke Park is open to other sports its the start of the end of GAA dominance as a sport in the country as a whole.Up the Eircom League.

At least we have enough education to know to put spaces after full stops. :)

When exactly will the mighty Eircom league be needing Croke Pk for its big games?

QuoteThemselves and Armagh are suffering from listening to the same manager for too long IMHO.

Perhaps Armagh and Tyrone should do a celebrity manager swap, Setanta could pay for the TV rights.

QuoteTo be honest, a lot of them wouldn't have Gaelic Games in their blood.

and they know the value of money, so aren't likely to bet on Antrim to win the AI, whatever odds there are!

Lone Shark's view on Ladbrokes

Mayo     7/4
Cork    2/1
Armagh    3/1
Laois    5/1
Monaghan 14/1
Offaly    16/1

what are the AI semi-final lineups for this?

You never get goods odds for Dublin and Kerry, bet each way on the other main contenders of your choice at the best odds available and you would do OK. Galwegians will get 25/1 on Betfair.

And Mayo should have a chance.

QuoteCould you organise a 6/7 point win for tomorrow?

it is easier to organise a detailed digital map than to get Armagh to do what you want! Indeed during the 25 minutes in the 2nd half when they didn't score I feared for our chances. The last minute goal was lucky but we might have had two in the first half, when Armagh were dominant they didn't get enough on the scoreboard. Aaron Kernan was up and down the field and we might be in Division 3 without him. In the 2nd half when Oisin was on, the ball rarely game up near him. I'll never know how he didn't win a free near the end, when we got our last point, it is routine to complain about the ref, but sometimes you wonder! Marsden clearly knows what to do, but does he have the speed to carry it out?

Still its good to be in Div 2 rather than 3, and given Louth's performance today it is probably fair enough that they rather than Westmeath or Armagh went down.

QuoteGreat job Armaghniac and cheaper than the OSi, Thanks

Not too hard to be cheaper than the OSi, but only cheaper, but better organised for most applications too.
Its all here in the Armagh threads, better digital maps, tips for a sure nag.......

QuoteArmaghniac, where did you pull that OS extract from? It's very difficult to get uptodate maps

myhome.ie that sells houses has these maps in the background, they come from mapflow rather than either OS.
however the mapflow maps are generally only in other paid services, as they have to recoup the cost of making these.

Quotewill you take any responsibility for engouraging and assisting him?

I also posted directions to Crossmaglen on the Armagh v Westmeath thread, am I responsible if one of these Westmeath people comes to the game and shouts abuse at the referee?

Quotegrow the f**k up.

How erudite and witty you are, Tallaght's answer to Oscar Wilde. When it comes to growing up, I'd say you have further to go than I do.

QuoteI'd be pretty sure that injury problems aside Paddy Mc will be playing in the half forward line come championship

Paddy Mc has played well for Armagh. However he seems to do this when the team is going well if things are going badly he is not one to lift the team in the way that Oisin or Stevie can do.
