[western exile]

steady gaffer.  We know that those Armagh boys are always looking for a chance to get a jibe at us (it must be their inferiority complex  ) but that post was not too bad. It had a bit of humour. Besides he who laughs last, laughs best

[Dulaney]

is the game definately all ticket??? i knew there would be a big enough crowd but didn't think it would be reaching anywhere near capacity!!!

[Joe Umbrella (hey)]

Do they still have steps up the hogan stand?

We should be familiar enough with climbing these, more familiar than most!

Train tickets 35 quid?! f**k sake, thats a rip off

[dodgy umpire]

can the game be seen on the net from outside the country?

[its me again]

no response on local down thread prob better suited here anyway

as a man from outside the county one thing always stands out to me, the lack of Kilcoo men on either the U21 or Senior teams/panels yet they seem to be there or there abouts every year plus have had good underage success in recent years

can anyone shed any light on this??

Maybe it's their pack mentality? They hunt in packs for the ball on the field, they hunt in packs for their women at the weekend, and they hunt in packs when they want to give someone a hiding in Newcastle/Castlewellan etc.  Maybe they opt out of county teams as it means one would have to leave the fold and go it alone???  (Hope they don't come hunting for me )

They built a new motorway for Armagh since ye were last in Croker. 

Damn right.


Even the jackeens couldn't stand the smell of yez (and the puke that came with) so built that motorway to get yez to f**k out straight after yer matches...


Sure they had the EU over from brussels in dublin when Armagh were playing "football", and the putrid shite served up resulted in the motorway grants being cleared 2 days later

Oooohhhhh..... thin ice boyo, thin ice 



Conor Laverty and Aiden Brannigan were on the panel a couple of years back - with the shite policy of county players rarely getting a game it didn't help them much IMO.

[D4S]

Only a bit of fun ! What is the real reason for the lack of Kilcoo players though or did I hit the nail on the head with my guess? Laverty is very sharp, he's every bit as good as most of our forwards, he'd a be a great sub for the last 15-20mins if ross didn't think he had a starting place for him.

Tickets are on sale in the County Office 10am-4pm Thurs and Fri and from 7pm-8pm in the Marshes on both days.

I'd expect a big red and black turn out.

Hard to say.


Its not as if its a one off season, if it weren't for the bridge, we'd pretty much be the No.1 club in the county over the past 8-10 years or so.

Maybe we're a well balanced 15, with few standouts, but few weak links.

Was Marty McClean on the panel a year or so ago?
