€5 difference for the 2 finals??  An extra €5 to see so called 'better' football??! Who is to say that on the two days in question the better football won't be played by the lower division teams?!

Are the seats for the students the crap seats they can't sell to anybody else or are they alright?

Hopefully they are in some remote part of the stadium. Down people near you would be unpleasant, but bearable, but students!

Hopefully Benny will line out against "our ma " looks a lot leaner and hungrier this year and we need as much physical presence through the spine of the side as possible especially against the orange men. Also a pity big dan has left it so late to return ( im sure he has his reasons and owes the county nothing ) would have been great to have given him a run in last couple of national league games , the options around midfield grow all the time with King ,big pete ,and ambi. It is   another alternative which could allow ambi to move into CHF and Marty out to the wing , speaking of which any more news on his " return to down under story " he must be mad to even think about it lol 

Marty Clarke is a CHF end of, he is the ideal playmaker & his distribution is second to none, in simpler terms it's like playing Wayne Rooney as a winger or Brian O'Driscoll as a fly half, it's just madness to suggest we play Marty anywere else other than CHF.

I can't see Gordon starting but nor can I see him not featuring for 25+ mins. Ambrose will start every Championship match that's he fit for in midfield, and James will need a competitive match to find out if Gordon brings more to the table than King.

As for Doyler, I'm not sure if he'll get a run out. I'd imagine he'll end up being cover for Clarke and Colgan should either pick up a knock, but it's hard to see where else he might get in the team this year. Hard to believe I'm saying that about one of the most talented footballers in the county.

I don't buy these concerns about the height of the full-back line. It's hardly as if we're going to run into a team with men mountain across their full-forward line. McArdle is six foot tall and has a prodigious leap on him which means he plays more like a man of 6 foot 2 or 3. I don't see that many taller full-backs in the game at present. McCartan is just a shade off six foot, and is positionally clever. Yep Dee Rafferty is small, and might get exposed should he ever meet Tommy Walsh, but we'll worry about that when it happens.

I hope that you are right there wobbler, and i hope that i am wrong, but i think Armagh, Kerry, Cork and Donegal all have potentially big Full Forward lines.

I agree with you about Gordon, but i would give Doyle a run as well, down the line i could still see how we may use him and this game might be a good time to introduce him.

You have picked me up wrong there rambler let me clarify ! Gaelic Football in the modern era (last ten years) weather we like it or not has changed beyond all recognition some games now resemble basketball especially in championship format with much more at stake, how we solve this problem and increasingly sub standard refereeing is for another day.My piont about Marty Clarke moving into half forward was nt strictly to keep him on the touchline , look at the sucess tyrone have tasted over last ten years . Micky Heart picks good footballers but more importantly clever ones who are comfortable playing all over the pitch in different positions.In my opinion a half forward line now is more or less a third back line and with Clarke Rodgers and Hughes being able to alternate between playmaking, running in support of midfielders and covering back we would be much more dynamic . It was just a suggestion for when Dan returns .As we know Marty will start at CHF against Armagh and has some unfinished business with the mc keever (another football lesson )

Did i miss something? When was the first lesson? You can't mean the marshes when he scored 1 point from play before being substituted in the 1st half

[Throw ball]

Clarke is a hell of a footballer but I would be surprised if he gives McKeever a footballing lesson. It is a long time since anyone has and he has marked some good ones in the past: Stephen O'Neill and Benny Coulter to name but two.

[cadhlancian]

lads, Fearon hasnt commented on this thread yet Is the whore living or dead?

[Apple Crumble]

Yip.

McKeever is the business.  One of the top half backs in the country.

Clarke has proved nothing yet, except for being on the starting 15 on the Down county team.
