2006 Ulster Final

Carrickman

Looking foward to Sunday think we will get some revenge on Armagh at last!! A few things about this Sunday: what are the GAA thinking about by not selling OAP or student tickets for this match? Another point is the fact (I was told this 2 weeks ago after the Derry match but wasent sure would they go ahead with this or not) that the Donegal County Board is charging a €2.00 levy on tickets for the match to boost training funds (25,000 approx x €2.00!!)

Anyway it should be an entertaining game Tir Connell ABU!

True. They are in effect selling tickets above the face value.:mad:

Surely Central Council should look into this.

Well Armagh has done this for several years, charging an additional £1. It is better value than Ticketmaster.

Should be a good match, I'd expect Donegal to give Armagh a right game.

Shaque attack

really looking forward to this game. going to be in croker for it and I hope donegal give armagh a right go. I much prefer their less cynical, open style of football. That and, as a laois man, I have been on the receiving end of some pretty big defeats by armagh .

I know the feeling. I will be at the game tomorrow and the closer it gets, the more nervous I am. I hope the younger players play like they did in the last two games.

I actually think Armagh are a good side, they play to their strenghts, big physical men. That is why I dislike Tyrone, I think they are the only team in the country who have the potential to out football Kerry, but they insist on using cynical tactics. Delighted to see two Ulster teams bet by Leinster teams today, when Donegal beat Down I watched it on BBC2 cause I missed the Sunday game. Their panelist said, in fairness down were poor but there is no doubt they would probably win if they were in Leinster or Conaught. I could not believe he thought Leinster or Connaught were that week. Great matches by Laois and Wexford today, and Clare caused Fermanagh a bit more concern than expected.

I'm heading into Croke Park for it today, got my donegal shirt and everything. Will be a good game no doubt

ah that game was terrible folks.... A goal by Armagh right at the start of the 2nd half.

I'm just back from the game. I was disappointed initially but after thinking about how Donegal have performed better than expectations this year, I am now filled with confidence for the future.

Shaque attack

armagh showed their class and experience in the second half. that was the difference..... i felt the big stage got to donegal a bit, especially in the first half when they were dropping shots short.
