BBC report Devenny is winning his fitness battle. I'd say McNulty will be testing his stomach muscles in the first few minutes

Hank he will start, believe it or not Joe is that stupid.

Tickets sent back from our club too.

A lot of lads round our way have stopped following the county over the last 2/3 years for various reasons, including pricing, the general treatment of club football in armagh and more recently the Joe factor.

Our senior team is training on sunday and there wasn't single dissenting voice wanting to go to ballyboffey.

Very suprised by the apathy within Armagh. Do people think this will be joes last year ?

I think this is the first year that i have noticed IMO such dissention against the management and the county team. Its not that long ago that joe kernan was just one step down from god. If the dissatisfaction expressed by some is widespread it doesnt bode well

High Catch · May 23, 2007, 03:24:05 PM

Diesel Smuggler, pardon my ignorance, but what club do you belong to?

full back · May 23, 2007, 03:25:36 PM

I wouldnt say it is that widespread TBH Bensars
A lot of it is to do with what club you are from as well

naka · May 23, 2007, 03:49:54 PM

have to say a brisk trade in tickets at my club last nite, whilst confidence mightn`t be high for sunday, most guys feel we have a great chance come september

Malone Aristocrat · May 23, 2007, 04:04:11 PM

In the star today when asked about a recall for last year's 2nd and 3rd choice full backs Aidan O'Rourke & Tony McEntee, who both played when Bellew was injured, Kernan said "In fairness, when men say they are gone, they are gone and that's it. we wish they were there they made that decision and we are not going to be going back every week if somebody has a proble."

Whats the story here lads? Two fellas any other county in ulster would love to have in their defence.

corn02 · May 23, 2007, 04:42:53 PM

Malone, that is part of the reason Joe is not so popular anymore.

Naka, as I stated in one of the threads, S Kernan will throw over a couple of beuatiful scores but his laziness is unbelievable. On Sunday compare the work rate of the number 10 for Armagh and the number 11. If McIver has his tatcics right, the Donegal CHB will be key.

High Catch · May 23, 2007, 04:49:39 PM

Agree Corn but maybe S Kernan is told not to track back. Surely Armagh couldn't have their 3 half forwards spending most of their time in their own half back line.

Imposerous · May 23, 2007, 05:18:27 PM

Corn - I'm afraid I don't think Stephen will throw over any scores. He may welll have the ability (limited in my view), but I think the intensity of the game will show him up - especially his workrate. He should be given 20 mins tops.

whats your club high catch?
