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

[bennydorano]

Where's that article from Corn?  The only point I would make is that Andy Mallon most defintely has never snuffed out Paddy Bradley - Bradley gave him a serious roasting in Casement, it was only when McNulty when on to him that Bradley disappeared. 

I'm most defintely from the Tyrone hating part of Armagh, but I grew up with a healthy dislike like for Down as my da worked with "Down slabbers" a lot and a fair few south armagh men who must have educated him.

What must be really annoying to Armagh, no matter how much their fans are building the Team up for Sunday. Is the fact that no matter who they decide is their biggest Enemy, Tyrone have twice as many all Ireland Titles and Down have 5 times as many.
Best of luck on sunday Lads. Oh yeah you dont need it. It will obviously be a cake walk to the super power of Ulster football.
Tell me how does it feel to be the 4th Best team in Ulster and thats only because A comes before D.

Anyone who witnessed Down playing  Armagh or Tyrone over the last few years will have witnessed The five-time All-Ireland champion's  willingness to play attractive football ruthlessly quelled by their opponents.

Complete nonsense from whatever journalist wrote that. Armagh have played Down once in the championship this century, an open high scoring game in Casement Park, even if it was a little one sided.

even if it was a little one sided.

Ruthlessly quelled?

Keeping their feet on the ground!

Ruthlessly quelled?

I wouldn't call it ruthless. Just a poor side being well beaten by a vastly superior outfit. By a distance, the worst tackle in the game was from a Down man.

[corn02]

More physical than dirty I am sure it means, just like 01.

[corn02]

TAM, I doubt you could argue that in that game and in Down's recent games with Tyrone, they have not been physically able to compete?

I don't doubt that. My problem is with a lazy journalists attempting to apply a crass generalisation to Armagh matches with Down when it simply doesn't apply, at least not in the championship.

[corn02]

Lazy? I attended both matches and was at plenty Tyrone - Down matches over the years. There is no doubt that they have physically been well behind both teams, no generilisation there.

[Feckitt]

what about the line up? donaghy, oisin, tony kernan?

[corn02]

Same as Cavan match.

Good effort corn, apart from the score prediction.

Spot on about the physicality, the evidence of the two tyrone matches is that this has at last been addressed. Hopefully the arma game will provide conclusive proof.
