Cavan win 3-09 to 1-11.

Didn't think we played that well and our goals were more bad defending than great forward play but still going to Armagh with such a young inexperienced team and winning should be a boost to our lads heading to the national league.

Armagh v Cavan live stream:

http://www.armaghgaa.net/armaghtv/

Stream is shite

Ahh jaysus it's not bad at all. Fair play to them for being innovative and doing something like this

Maybe its just me but the video freezes and then goes into fast forward to catch up all the time + camera is not following the ball. Simple enough things that could be fixed. We are not playing well but still ahead by a goal. Giving away possession too easily and too slow to work the ball into scoring positions. I fancy Armagh will win it in the end unless we buck up.

Because its amateur and so limited opportunity to make money out if it. Plus we dont really try and promote it properly abroad.

No damage, gave me a quare fright though to be honest. Three children in bed upstairs and the wife was out in the car leading my niece up to the Hillhall Rd to avoid protests on her way home to Lurgan. Car would have been out on the road if she had been here so probably lucky I've no repairs to be doing there as well. Sickening watching children on the news there rioting in Carrickfergus, their parents should be proud of themselves.

I'd know a big amount of those lovely kids from Carrick. (Majority probably been in my class over the last 4 years) their parents were more than likely with them, hand in hand throwing stones and burning cars lovely, hopefully there will be a few missing from the class this Monday.

It brilliant craic in work at the minute, full wind up with the students

I think your next lesson should be on democracy.

Hopefully we will play McDermott inside too.. He really needs to show his worth to the team. He has the potential and he's a good honest lad but he needs to make an impact. Hard to see us getting a result in Armagh. Great that it's being streamed for those of us who can't make the game.

Armagh are playing a real new look team so there should be a decent chance of getting a result. However, the result is not that important.

Just had a brick thrown at the front window, luckily enough it bounced back off without smashing. Have had to take the car in off the road now for the first time since I moved in, not a million miles away from Ravenhill. The culprits had scarpered by the time I got to the front door (with hurley) but my guess is teenagers from nearby secondary school having spotted the children in county jerseys.
Shit one. Crowd of cowardly b**tards.

Come on now they have to do something to save the flag, hitting Ulicks window with a brick could be the spark they need to get the flag back up. These boys are modern day revolutionaries.

I've met Mort on a few occasions. He is a decent skin, good craic and just wants to play football however he is a selfish little git without a shadow of a doubt. When the whole thing blew up last year I wasnt surprised at all. It's no coincience that Mayos fortunes have changed since the likes of Mort have been sidelined with a new regime under Horan. Mort is not a team player, never was. Weak managers accomodate these players, strong managers get rid of them.

And exceptional/brilliant managers get these type of players to adapt their ways (temporarily anyways) to play for the team.

So you think that it is possible to get the best out of any troublesome player without having an effect on the rest of the team? That might be possible in some cases but not in all. Some times the manager has to make a call whether a player is more hassle than hes worth. I don't think making a strong call one way or the other is somehow a sign of a weak manager. Pandering to egos is more likely to piss of the rest of the team and personally i would not allow that to happen.

Agree with that Itchy in the main but what probably annoyed Mort most was the selection of others before him. Not saying he was right or wrong but for example, he scored 0-8 against Dublin (5 frees) in league game, was dropped next day getting sub run out. In league semi scored 0-7 (4 frees), top point scorer again from play and only member of full forward line to score incl. subs. In final only scored 1 free but problems lay farther out the field. He came on and scored 0-2 (1 free) in championship opener v Leitrim being preferred to by Freeman who had not played a competitive game for Mayo since March.

Am not making excuses for him at all but just to show that he was in form after bursting a gut to get back to this level of football after his season out after knee surgery. The circus that followed his departure leaves the door firmly shut on any return during the Horan years, but maybe Horan should not go entirely blameless ??

And how did the Mort react to not be picked? Went on twitter saying something along the lines of ... When you see who is being picked in front of you, all you can do is laugh. That kind of selfishness is poison for a team.

Exactly. That's what I meant by saying his reaction to being dropped was the justification for doing it.

I'd go if I could but work Saturday and won't get away on time. Still good to look back on the stream to analyse it.
