For 12 months all we've heard about is the strength and depth of this Armagh squad, is this not the case?
Armagh's Sam to lose

Don't think Tyrone beat Armagh, and i don't think it's theirs to lose, I think Galway look way stronger than them

As they have it, it is theirs to lose, Derry won't be finding it anytime soon.

There's a few smart heads saying this is the year for Down.
Apparently this under the radar business was a playbook for the 1960 and 1991 Ulster triumphs.
It feels 2025 is where the gap is finally plugged for the red & black.

Be careful what you say flowerpot. These Derry men are sensitive since they've lost their nouveau riche status.

Must have been talking to these Tyrone ones over Easter break when they're half full. Don't know a single Tyrone one with any knowledge on the game that's said we've a chance on Saturday

Quote from: illdecide on April 21, 2025, 06:17:07 PMIf Tyrone are gonna beat us then it will be from midfield as we're struggling there atm with injuries and Tyrone have 2 big men in there who can play. Grimley was due back to training last week but can't see Crealey making this game, he was brought back too early from a hamstring injury and that has bit Armagh on the arse. Professional footballers with around the clock treatment are usually out for 8 weeks with a hamstring but GAA players seem to think they can come back in 3 weeks.
Turbit and Conaty will be fine who didn't play against Antrim other than that I dunno who will be in or out.
Think I wrote here a month or 2 ago we're going nowhere without Ben Crealey in MF, hopefully he'll be back for the group stages.

Tyrone a very religious team. The Pope's funeral might affect them.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Quote from: illdecide on April 21, 2025, 11:49:34 AMTyrone v Armagh then...Bookies have Tyrone slight favourites to win this game and the pundits are bigging up Tyrone saying they're back as contenders but how do they base this on one game v a very poor Cavan team. I know Armagh have had a fair few injuries lately but Armagh destroyed them in league and are All Ireland Champions yet Tyrone are fav's. Do bookies and pundits know more than me?. (TBF most people know more than me...lol) I'm just basing this on facts and results, I think Armagh will beat Tyrone TBH but the mighty Down/Donegal will await (more likely the mighty Donegal).
Not sure what they're judging off. Would expect Canavan to be back for us but even then Armagh are just to physical. Even their second string are bigger, taller, faster, just more athletic in general. Can't see us getting within 7 points of them

The new rules are tailor made for the bigger stronger sides. If Armagh don't win it would be a major surprise.
Tyrone were just ok against a very poor Cavan side. Didn't look that impressive tbh, albeit without Canavan.

With the panel Armagh have been boasting about for the last 2 years it should be straightforward win for them shouldn't it?

For real? Tyrone beat Cavan in a canter without coming out of 2nd gear. With Darragh likely back and Hampsey and Myler apparently close to full recovery, could give Armagh bother... especially with their best player Rian gone..

Tyrone weren't that great. Ye had a strong wind and well ahead in the first half. The second half Cavan chipped over a few 2 pointers to give it a closer look. Cavan had no intensity in the first half.

They didn't need to be that great. They hammered Cavan at their ease. Was never a contest...
