Armagh manager

[balladmaker]

Well he has impressed me anyway and I think Armagh made the right choice in preferring him to Grimley who was part of the old regime which, although had achieved great success, had become stale and was definitely running out of ideas.

Agree, the old regime had great success, and no one could ever question Big Joe's ability having landed Armagh's first All Ireland, as well as the massive success at Cross.   BUT, one All Ireland for the greatest Armagh team of all time is a poor return.  Hopefully Peter McDonnell will put things right.

There was at least two all irelands in the old guard but Big Joe delivered the ultmate prize.

Unbelievable that a second one wasn't bagged. In the 2003 Final we never turned up yet it took a lucky block to deny us a draw but the 2004 one was the one that definitely got away. After Ulster only Fermanagh and Mayo stood between us and the final and we blew it big time against Fermanagh due to complacency.

"We"?

I thought "we" were Tottington Hotstuff or whatever they're called.

No doubt that 'Fermanaghs finest hour' above will be used to motivate more then Fermanagh!

If you want to be a bit more comprehensive the block wasn't any more 'lucky' than your win in 2002, scraping the quarter final, semi-final & final by the slimmest of margins having been out-classed for long periods in the final itself.   Kerry could easily have won by a bagful on another day.

[T Fearon]

Yes, and If Russell hadn't decided to appease Tyrone for 1995, in 2005, it would be Armagh and not Tyrone who would now have two All Irelands

[Over the Bar]

So you saying that Ciaran McKeever didn't foul O'Neill?

You also seem to infer that you would have done the job on Kerry in the final that Tyrone did.  Could be doubtful given your performances against them in 2002 & 2006.

Kerry could easily have won by a bagful on another day.

And Armagh could have won by 74 points on another, stupid thing to say, like Tony's points.

Yes indeed, my point exactly, they are imponderables, however my examples provided a balance to his wheras your 74 points is just ridiculous.......

[corn02]

No just the same. Yours was ridicolous too.

I see the point you were making though.

Was not!
