Armagh v Derry. Group 4

[Armagh18]

It's easy to say that with hindsight. The first year in D2 under RG we narrowly missed out on promotion due to a controversial decision v Roscommon. The second year it was the main goal for the year, we needed to get promoted for the teams development and that meant picking a strong side for the opening league game v Limerick after Glen just lost the AI final.

The only way to blood players these days is win a few games in D1 so you don't get relegated then play them after that, like Donegal did this year. If you are in D2 you want to get out of it asap. I can't think of many games were Armagh didn't pick the strongest team available to them in D2.

Yeah true, but we also got game time into young lads like Conaty and McGrane, who were both very good finds for us come championship time.

[Real Talk]

Derry not likely to win any of there 3 games.   Key players are still injured and what has already been said we have a very young and inexperienced squad. I also doubt if we have enough tactical experience in in our backroom team.

We have only won ONE of our last 14 competitive games and that was against Westmeath.
 
Moral in the camp has to be low - so who in the team Management has the charisma to turn this around and get us a win the Group stages ??

Clock/hooter set to feature in remaining Sam Maguire Cup games
Previous policy stated technology would only apply to broadcasted matches.

The GAA's Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) have confirmed to the Irish Examiner that this weekend's Meath-Cork and Armagh-Derry matches will also be subject to the technology.
The clock/hooter was only in use for televised or streamed provincial matches due to logistical and financial reasons. Last weekend's two All-Ireland matches which weren't broadcasted – Mayo v Cavan and Clare v Sligo – didn't feature the countdown clock or siren either.

"Central Council are proposing now – voted on by the counties on Monday night – only venues where matches are broadcast or streamed live. That ground will have to be ready."
However, a CCCC spokesperson said they are going to try and have the clock/hooter in place for all of the remaining Sam Maguire Cup games irrespective of whether they are broadcasted or not, subject to hardware personnel availability.

Couldn't get any worse than the league game. That was brutal, we were in the game to McGuigan got the road. There's a mentality in Derry over the yrs that alot of really good club fballers Warnock Dougan, etc, dont want try county fball unless they thought they def be starting, wouldnt stay and fight it out on a panel. Other younger players have declined invites who potential to be very good fballers. Donegal,Armagh,Kerry,Galway are able to carry big panels of the strongest players in their counties. I say guys on here only be fit to name 1 or 2 players not on their county panel, they think should be. It's all down to attitude.

It seems not? This is mad, if it is close and one team had the ball when the whistle goes then they do not get the chance when other games in the group would just because they are TV. It isn't as if Armagh does not have a hooter.

It does seem that there will be rain to some extent and enough of a breeze for two pointers to be an option toward the city end.

Maybe they just don't want to commit to a county set up, which is completely understandable and nothing to do with starting places and attitude

Can't speak for any other  county but to the best of my knowledge theres very few lads in Armagh not on the county panel who should be. Possibly Shea Heffron Clann Eireann but as far as I know he couldn't commit. Not much outside that.
