Armagh Club football & hurling

[winsamsoon]

Clans game was probably a decent enough game to watch as it was exciting. A draw was probably a fair result  in the end but the clans should have been 10 or 12 points up at half time. They wasted several good goal chances and hit a few easy wides from frees. Cruppen lifted the intensity in the second half when they were playing with the breeze and into the club house. Dessie done ok in the middle until the last ten minutes when he gave Cruppen absolutely everything At one stage there was actually a clans player thrown out over the line and he gave a sideline ball to cruppen. He also gave cruppen a fould because a clans man had swiped at the ball as the cruppen man when down to pick it up (granted this was a foul but the cruppen man had the chance to pick the ball up simply because he had kicked it out of the hands of a clans man) He gave a free for something that wasn't a free 4 seconds earlier. Also gave  cruppen a point when their man caught the ball and his momentum took him over the line. Dessie awarded a free for a push. But a draw was probably a fair result.

I thought most wides were easy to hit  .

You have the potential to be another ballbag, either that or you have a sad life.

And there is enough of them on here winsam

DIdnt realise such offence would be caused out of harmlessness from complete boredom on a tuesday afternoon

I will forgive you just this once oh and full back you watch yourself saan

Eire Og 2-20; Killean 0-0

Holy jasas!

Did you notice this score was omitted from the Irish News on Monday?  Did you also notice that the official county website and Aertel text have the result listed as Eire Og beat Killean? 

Surely there is not a conspiracy of silence to save the blushes of a certain well-known sponsor?

The first Killeavy man on the board?

Possibly and it wouldn't surprise me, but it is a practice that has been going on for years CillSleibhe.

For the past 5 or so years in Down, the results of Aughlisnafin matches in Division 4 were not truthfully published. Usually a more respectable score was inserted instead.

Its bad aul craic trying to disguise results in my opinion.

[the scenic route]

Tbf should have picked a captain that won't get sent off and miss a pile of matches, disgracing the county in the process.

Only my opinion though.

Examiner says the South Armagh matches are at 7 15pm. Not sure which is right.

Why do you not watch your county?? Should have had one against Monaghan anyway, was at that match... I suspect he gets let off with these incidents every match he plays, and it all gets brushed under the rug...

He said red, duhhhhhh.

And remember: its 'i' before 'e', except after 'c'

[Silverbridge 2009]

Hello All, Wait for it Bridge man going to defend A Cullyhanna man. I think Ciaran is the right man for the job he knows what it takes to captain a team to be successful. Evertime he steps out onto the pitch he gives his all and he is a very vocal presence on the Field, although i would not have much time for the lad on a personal level he is the right man for the job. His discipline will be under the microscope now more than ever i just hope he does not let us down

So that's one incident whereyou think he might have been sent off but the referee disagreed, most spectators thought it was just a mis timed challenge and the Ulster Council even over-turned the yellow card itself. This is Ciaran's 5th year starting for Armagh and I can only remember one harsh sending off for pulling Peter Canavan's jersey (why its a yellow card to pull any else's jersey and a red to pull Canavan's is another story). What you suspect is neither here nor there. Yes Ciaran has had disciplinary issues in the past and was maybe lucky enough a couple of times not to be sent off but his discipline has hugely improved in the last couple of years. He's an All Ireland winning captain and a superb footballer who well deserves the honour of captaining his county.

How did he come by his reputation then may I ask?
