Armagh v Down- 29th June-Ulster Semi Final Thread

[Candyman]

Had a chat with a certain person yesterday and he was speaking with Ross Carr on monday.... Carr was so surprised Tyrone didnt try any off the ball/underhand tactics but he fully expects Armagh to and is prepared for it?!?!?!?!?!?!? 

[southdown]

Hearsay!

[Sandy Hill]

Anyone know who the ref is for Sunday?

If memory serves me it was a sigerson match at the dub where queens met st marys (incidentally clarke had just left queens to start studying at st marys, which probably would have grated with some of the queens boys) and throughout the match mc cartan proceeded to torture clarke on and off the ball and gave him an absloute torrid time of it, although clarke did do a bit of damage it was mc cartan who came out on tops but by pushing the boundaries to the very limit.

I think the two lived together at the time or shared digs and clarke was none too pleased by his housemates tactics in the game.. think the running joke was that clarke offered mccartan his togs after the match sayin that he seemed to want them so badly during the match he couldnt let go of them.

Aye they'd some battle that day. Was that 05 or 06. Was it the game that put St Mary's out of their own sigerson weekend? From what I can remember St Mary's where denied a goal that had definately crossed the line as well.

Hearsay!

Im afraid not...

How do you prepare for off the ball/underhand tactics ?

  So the certain person that had the conversation with Ross on Monday will be thinking highly of you
coming on here slabbering about it.Idiot!

[Goats Do Shave]

ha ha don't be worrying, it was Adrian Logan! 

[Uladh]

I think the Armagh team will be:

Hearty
Mallon Bellew Finn
AK AOR McKeever

McGrane Toner

Vernon SK MOR
McDonnell Clarke TK.

Can't see two kernans starting in the forwards Corn - it would leave the scoring unit short of ball winning and physicality. one only i'd imagine

[corn02]

I agree, this is what I am expecting though.

[Goats Do Shave]

I'll be very surprised if there are any changes in the Armagh line up. Good performance the last day, they've all earned another go.

The jersey's that seem up for grabs as far as this thread goes anyway...

Paddy McKeever - His experience & strength will prove valuable, especially against a shrewd operator in Doyle. I expect Paddy to have a good game & prove the critics wrong on Sunday. Brian Mallon, Tony K, & Oisin will be pushing!

Finn Mo - Had a fine game v Cavan & has earned another start, though I would imagine Brendan Donaghy is biting at his heels, if he has a bad start on Sunday. I'm hoping Enda McNulty isn't finished here either!!

Great to see options from the bench this year!

I'd like him to start Brian Mallon instead of Paddy McKeever but I'm expecting the same team as the Cavan match. One thing I'm hoping is an improved use of the sub's bench. As people have pointed out, we have more options on the line this year but that's no good if you only throw them on for 5 minutes as an afterthought.

[Uladh]

I'm not sure doing enough to earn another go should come into the thinking for championship matches.

It isn't like club football where you are limited in your resources. at county level you have good players on the squad with strengths in different areas and selection decisions should be taken with an eye on the opposition. that in itself should ensure consistency of performance for fear of changes.

Some or all of Moriarty, Bellew, McKeever and possibly s kernan should be under review
