QuoteSurely that was McDonnell in 2003.

This was one of the most influential non-goals.

Clarke's non-goal may not prove that important if Armagh win on Sunday, but it would have been a cracker.

He might do a reprise on Saturday.

I take then that there are no seated tickets?

I take it you have never been to Aughrim?

Never. Please enlighten me.

There are very few seats, very few anything in fact, its probably worse than Drogheda, but Aughrim is a very nice village.
I'm gonna show you as gently as I can how much you don't know.

In the 1994 Ulster final Jamesy was fouled in the corner, in the process his boot came off. Donnelly (I think) picked it up but instead of giving it back to James he threw it into the crowd. Wee James was incensed and tapped a quick free, took the return and soloed straight through the Tyrone defence wearing just one boot. He was just about to pull the trigger when he was hauled down. The penalty was awarded, and it was indeed scored so no injustice done.

But had James scored a goal in the Ulster final by soloing through a defence wearing only one boot, I think it would have become one of those legendary pieces of footage that get cycled around by TV broadcasters regularly.

Not the most important non-goal, because we got and scored the penalty, but just shows there are these occasions that leave you thinking "what might have been" long after the event. Times when you know you so nearly witnessed something that would have been significant but ultimately will mean nothing in the long-term.

at least the season ticket will get us in.  I hope that its a great game, played in the right spirit and two great sets of supporters supporting their team - just like last week.
Championship fever is upon us all

What way do the Season Tickets work?  Are you billed whether you attend or not?   "Unfortunatley" I have a wedding on Saturday so won't be able to get to Aughrim.  Last Saturday evening I paid in at the turnstile: were tickets to have been sent out in advance (if so they didn't arrive)?

Do you not get the emails from office?

You get your card scanned at specific gate numbers. Only all ticket matches are tickets sent out.

You get charged unless you use your 'opt out' card, whether you attend or not.

You could stay in Derry, Aughrim, Enniskillen or the Boyne!

Cheers, Goats. Brother-in-law ordered mine at the start of the year and had both mine and his sent to his address. He's in the States on hols at mo. So, would I need a physical hard ticket on or would the swiping of the ST get me in?
