Armagh v Down Ulster Minor Football Final 19-7-09

[TacadoirArdMhacha]

Tickets going reasonably well in our club though I suppose you'd expect that with a club member on the starting XV. Looking forward to the day anyway.

Out of interest TAC, how many did St Pat's get?

Not really sure. Think it might have been about 50, we're putting in an order for a few more and since there'd a few tickets round the village from Robbie, it should be a reasonable enough turn out.

would just like to wish the Minors good luck on Sunday.  It won't be easy against a promising Down side but I think we have enough through the middle and up front to edge this one.  I see Armagh are 4/1 for the all-ireland......decent price and Dublin are a shorter price....didn't Armagh give Dublin a drubbing in the league?

They beat Dublin by 3 or 4 points in Killeavy, not exactly a drubbing. Armagh always looked in control though. True enough they destroyed Down but Down seem to have improved significantly since then. Saying that 4/1 is a decent price for the AI, neither Dublin or Kildare were impressive on Sunday with Armagh guaranteed to play one of them in the AI QF. Kildare looked the better team and should have won the game, they are 7/1 for the AI while the Dubs are 4/1...doesn't make much sense.

Anyone got the handicap for this game?

i fancy armagh to win by at least 3.

[harlechman]

Armagh are 8/13 with PP so I'd imagine the handicap (if available) will be 2 points.

Eventually got signed on this board have been an observer for a long time but couldn't be arsed registering. Now i have want to wish the lads all the best on Sunday - think Armagh will be favourites but with young lads you never know what can happen on the day.  To our neighbours Armagh, please don't associate all Down fans with that arsehole Trevor Hill, he's actually one of the reasons i registered on the board but by the time i was verified the red mist had cleared and i couldn't be bothered replying.

[Trevor Hill]

You`re very welcome Mr Trimble.

Judging by some of your recent work it hasn't quite cleared up yet has it?

Corn, Minus & Trev,
I fear you are not treating this thread with the seriousness it deserves.  Does this reflect a general 'forgone conclusion' attitude by the Down men?
