Round 4 Qualfier: Armagh v Meath

[thejuice]

I see Grimley doesn't trust his players enough to let them speak to the press. Are they feeling a wee bit intimidated perhaps.

The players have not spoken to the press since Aaron Kernan spoke after the Cavan game.

Intimidated by what? They were instructed by management before the Cavan game not to talk to the press so I don't think intimidation is the right word. The media ban is over hyped anyway as most players say little of any interest. Their interviews are usually cliche ridden and predictable.   

[Dinny Breen]

The only people who are complaining about players not talking to the media, are the media. Players tend to be boring and just full of banalities at this time of the year.

I remember listening to Newstalk one evening and they were going on about how the GAA needed the media more than the media needed the GAA!
I rarely bother with player interviews in paper or TV format.
It's usually cliche-ridden, by the numbers stuff.
Nobody is obliged to talk to the media.

Prediction:

Meath 2-17 Armagh 1-13

Hope I'm wrong.

We be better served if there was a blanket ban on player interviews. Such a load of shite they usually are.

Well, Armagh would know all about spewing shite.

TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 2013
Athleague Hurling Club is to lodge a complaint concerning the release of the contents of a bus toilet outside the club's grounds on Sunday.  After the  Roscommon v Armagh hurling game game it was discovered that "somebody pulled the lever" of the Armagh team bus and the contents of the bus toilet made for an unpleasant sight right outside the GAA grounds.

Athleague was hosting the National Hurling League clash between Roscommon and Armagh hurlers and members of the Athleague Club are disgusted with the incident.

Liam Ross, Hurling Officer with the Armagh Hurling Board, who travelled on the team bus with the Armagh panel, said he "hadn't heard anything about it" when contacted by the Roscommon Herald. "There was no mention of anything like that from anyone or the players on the bus home," he said.

Gerry Naughton, Chairman of Athleague Club, said his club was  going to make a formal complaint. "This behaviour is unacceptable," he said.

Armagh Hurling Officer Liam Ross did point out that the Armagh players were very disappointed that the showers weren't working properly. County teams normally use the new dressing rooms, but the county board instructed the Athleague club to make the old dressing rooms available for the teams on Sunday.

"The showers were very cold. It seems that there was no electricity in the dressing rooms. It wouldn't be a level you'd expect nowadays. I've no doubt that the Roscommon footballers wouldn't take it. It's not what we'd be used to  from the Athletic Grounds. I played there 30 years ago and nothing has changed," said the hurling officer.

County Board Chairman Anthony Flaherty said the county team had been using the showers in Athleague three times a week for training and there was never an issue with the showers.

That sort of shite.

FFS that was last year or the year before and it wouldn't have been out of place at your ground either as it is a shithole (i'm only messin )

But you really do need to let that one go too!!!

Seemingly a common sentiment in Armagh GAA circles.

When is the last time you read a good interview with a player ? 
You need a good journalist to wangle  the information out of them

Tell me this...Do Armagh/Meath play on  the Sat 9th Aug? Has the draw and date already been made? I know we can't have Dubin v Meath again nor Monaghan v Donegal but has the dates been confirmed and Croke Park the venue?
