Tyrone v Armagh

I think Armagh will give Tyrone all they want. I saw Harte at the match on Saturday night, he probably stick mc meniman on Jamie, i can see he getting yellow carded early in the game, defenders can't get away with what they used to. Hope Mc Keever will be back... Is the game all ticket?

Not all-ticket but you can purchase tickets in advance. Or just pay on the night. Hard to organise an all-ticket game in the space of a week.

This is a very interesting game. I think Tyrone have a better group of players overall but they have never really hit the standard they are capable of. They were too easily closed out of it by Donegal. On the other hand Armagh's struggles are well documented.

Armagh's main strength is the full forward line, but Tyrone have the best fullback line Armagh will have faced in the championship.

Tyrone have the home venue which is always a marginal advantage.

Overall Tyrone would probably be favourites, but if you look at the performance against Down you can see Armagh are at least capable of it and so can not be written off.

I think that it is impossible to predict a victory with any real confidence, it is a classic case of "all on the day".

Armagh would need to be beating a Tyrone team that is on the slide, thing is I just can't see it. Harte vs POR no contest.

Who's the Ref and does he like apples?

I genuinely think that Tyrone will come through this game and the Roscommon game, to make it to the Quarter Finals. Of the two games, the Armagh game will be the tougher. As said above, Armagh have no fear of Tyrone and will be relishing the chance to knock us out of the Championship, so they'll be filling their game and throwing everything at us. So whilst I think Tyrone should win, it's not a done deal.

I also think it's potential going to be one of 'the' games of the Championship.

Has McKeever got a chance of making the start? A big loss to Armagh's defence and for setting up attacks if he is missing.

Serious question to Armagh supporters, not taking the piss or on a windup.

Would you prefer to win and go on to maybe make a Q/F, Semi or even final in the knowledge that POR would almost definitely get another year in doing so OR get beat in the knowledge that POR would almost definitely be out on his ear at the final whistle.

I see it as a make or break game for O'Rourke, its that simple, win u stay on, lose and ur out

For an answer to this question, you should go to the Armagh v Down thread after that game had ended - Armagh supporters were delighted with the win and POR was no longer an issue - it'll be the same on Saturday - if POR manages a team to beat both Down and Tyrone in the championship in the same seaason, he'll be hailed as a hero.

Also, please refer to the Meath new manager thread - Meath supporters now want Banty to stay on !!
