Armagh v Tyrone USFC - BOX IT Athletic Grounds, Sunday 12th April, 16:15

[Armagh18]

It will be a nothing less than a double digit victory for Armagh.

Realistically they should be going out to try and better the 18pt hammering Tyrone give them in 2017.

I wish!

Would not be one bit surprised if it came down to another buzzer beater to win it!

[illdecide]

Knew there were more but couldn't think. How could i have left out Murnin and Joey...Murning will be close to fitness for Tyrone game, not sure if he'll start but could get last 15 mins. Where does Mackin fit into this Armagh team if fit?. Getting the injured men back just strengthens the bench

Mackin maybe instead of Duffy in that workhorse role? O O'Neill and Turbo brilliant bench options and Grugan if fit

I had closed that door in my memory and you opened it!😱
However, only Blaine Hughes in goal played that day and in 2026 to date, although Rory Grugan played then and may well make the team in the championship this year.

Forker been named in the last few squads but only minutes he got were against Dublin well into injury time I think.

Not sure about Grugan.

I wouldn't have thought the McGrane/McCambridge selection would normally be a debate but:

1. Hard to know where McCambridge is fitness wise.   
2. McGrane would be well suited to some of the smaller Tyrone forwards.  (Did a good job on O'Donoghue in the Mayo game.)

Yeah it probably won't come down to a choice between the 2 just personally I'd have McCambridge over McGrane if fit. Realistically McGrane will be starting

Jason Duffy doesn't do enough for me tbh, last 15 mins for me. If everyone is fit i'd be going for...

Hughes

Burns
McKay
McCambridge/McGrane

McQuillan
TK
Burns

Crealey
Mackin (if fit enough)

Murnin
McMullen
McCabe

Conaty
O'Neill
McConville

Which leaves Grugan, McCormack, Joey McIlroy, McGrane or McCambridge, Duffy, Turbitt etc from the bench which is strong enough bench. I'm sure I've left someone out, I always do.

Could  see Mackin on bench
Grugan or mc Elroy starting and mc cabe around the middle with murnin
Would like grugan for frees
Also think Murphy and mc.Cormick had strong leagues

Forgot about him somehow, had a good league and did very well on Sean O'Shea.

[David McKeown]

The thing is even if those fellas aren't fit for 70 minutes getting 3 or 4 them back gives Armagh a strong bench again which more than any one player is probably Armagh's biggest strength over the last few years. They are probably the county that is most stronger than the sum of its parts.

It also allows for greater options for balance. Arguably Armagh started the last day with 9 defenders 1 midfielder and 4 forwards. The substitution brought much better balance and Armagh came back into the game. I don't think that was unconnected.

[seafoid]

It's great that the championship is back.

I think Murphy will start clearly highly thought of if given the O'Shea job given what he did to Armagh in Croke Park last year and think he started all league games.  Could be given the job on Ethan Jordan Tyrone's big two point threat. 

[gallsman]

Will Jordan start? Didn't see all that much of Tyrone in the league but of what I did I didn't think he looked the most mobile.
