Has this Arma Team found their level?

[JMohan]

I agree he played well - but the problem is that you can only have so many of one type of player on the field or the whole thing slows too much.

I think that with too of them on it the team dynamic is slowed ... don't you agree?

Do you not think that two faster wing backs would have a greater and faster effect on attacking?
I think this is the biggest wekaness Armagh have and Fermangh tried to expliot it by attacking the wings in the first game and nearly did it.

All jking aside ... don't you agree?

For the past decade Armagh have been a good team, they were never a great one. I believe they have over-achieved rather than underachieved given their limitations. While i supported them today and hate to see an Ulster team being beaten in Croker, it will perhaps inject some sense of reality and humility into the boastful arrogant Armagh posters on this forum who are always so quick to denigrate others and celebrate their misfortunes. You are now on the way down lads and its a long road back, dont be in any hurry, you wont be missed, football will survive and prosper without you, and we will perhaps get more games of the quality served up by Kerry and Galway today, counties who have achieved greatness

Are Armagh really on the way down? Down from what? I think they can win Ulster every year if they are fully fit and motivated.

Dont agree with you
What is this Mullaghbawn bias you are on about?

[Pangurban]

Dream on O Neill, unless you are referring to Road Bowls

[ONeill]

What makes you think McDonnell, Clarke, the Kernans, McKeever, Vernon, Hearty, O'Rourke, the Mallons etc cannot win Ulster again?

(Apolgies Dromintee not Mullagahbawn)

I think the overall team dynamic - certainly in defence - has shifted from a balance of pace and strength to a more laboured and slowed movment

Thats the end of that then....

[JMohan]

So on all else we agree? lol! 

[In the Onion Bag]

I think Armas future at the top will be assured providing the rest of the club teams rise to the fantastic example set by Cross over the past decade, but can they?

[Stevie Nicks]

There is no doubt we are losing a number of key men, McGrane, Oisin, Francie, Enda etc. Great men who have gave us great service but it is now time to introduce the new breed in full, Vernon, Donaghy, Lavery, Kernans etc. We will be competitve but won't compete for AI for the foreseeable future. The new breed need time remember the 02 team was made up of men that hadn't won a championship game for 6/7 years before the great run from 99 on.
There is potential in this team, where was the league performance against Dublin when we played a great expansive and running game. Stayed for the 2nd game yesterday and it was great to see 2 teams going toe to toe with no sweeper in sight. Time to change

[SouthArmaghBandit]

Don't feed the troll!!

[ONeill]

B Tierney,
J McNulty, E McNulty, F Bellew,
A O'Rourke, K McGeeney, A McCann,
P McGrane, J Toal,
P McKeever, J McEntee, O McConville,
S McDonnell, R Clarke, D Marsden.
Subs: B O'Hagan for McEntee, T McEntee for McKeever.

That was the 2002 vintage - Highly likely the 13 and 14 will be all that remains in 2009.

the rugby league world cup is on later this year.
im sure armagh will find their level somewhere in that.
