Man Vs ManUre until 9/05/23
Not sure how it works but I'd say players would have to play Sigerson if they were on scholarship/deals. And I assume most county players in college would be.
I've two spare tickets if anyone needs them just pm
First time heading to Armagh.
Any tips or suggestions for parking around the area would be appreciated 🙏
My first time setting foot in Armagh too,isn't the league great!
Good luck travelling to Armagh... haven't been there by myself but was stuck in the middle of a bunch of them in Croker last year so I'd be prepared for a passionate welcome 😁
I parked at the Armagh City hotel and walked to the ground in less than 10mins last year. Was a bit of slow to get out of after the match but handy all the same.
Probably my favourite ground that I went to last year.
There is a school right beside the Athletic grounds where you can park. Best of luck tomorrow.
I'm excited by Tuohy.
We haven't a clue what we're doing once the ball passes midfield. No cohesion, no creativity, complete lack of confidence.
Should see this out now unless Armagh nick a goal...
We have gone full Braindead.
Did I speak too soon?
Reaper very very lucky there.
Empty goal and we slow play down. Sweet f*cking hell wtf does go through their heads.
We had that game won and let it go. Ridiculous stuff.
Very good in parts, poor at times too though and the nervous last 15-20 was annoying
Both sides made mistakes, Armagh had several chances before that that might have ensured a home victory.
Ref gave Armagh some very questionable frees in the last few minutes
There was a collapse in the last 10. No cool heads or anyone trying to be a bit cute. They really need to learn how to manage a game.
Not letting the ref off the hook either. He let the atmosphere get to him, completely.
Inexperience shining through.
Why McLaughlin took that shot on is beyond me.
Yeah, some of the frees were soft but we shouldn't have let it get to that
Aidan O'Shea's best game in 5 years (??)
Don't remember playing that well recently tbh... although he coughed up possession a couple of times near the end.
Annoying not to see it out but there was plenty to be positive about after half time imho.
Reape not good under the high ball at all 😬
Was up at the game.
Plenty to be positive about despite last few mins.Even with the young lads (who are gaining brilliant experience ) we are still near enough top tier.
The way the league is going though means we'll need two wins to stay up, then the real stuff starts.
Aidan had a very good showing and was effective. He was gassed at the end.
I'll be glad to see Hennelly back (not sure I've ever said that).
Hennelly is the most underrated player for Mayo.If he played in the championship last year v Galway we would have won (4 long range frees/45 missed) Walshs 3 45s won the game.
Byrne and Reape are decent club keepers,we were spoiled for choice for years with Hennelly and Clarkie.
We need him back ASAP and as I understand it he will be back for kerry.
Still great to see another keeper getting valuable experience. Reape, although a bit dodgy under the high ball was very good with his kickouts and nailed a lovely free. It's important to have a plan B if Robbie gets injured.
A draw snatched from the jaws of defeat at home.
A draw snatched from the jaws of victory away.
Talk about a mixed bag.
looking at the positives:
- Great experience for the newer players like mcbrien, coyne, brickenden, touhy
- AOS looked v good, maybe he finally been given specific direction
- First 20 mins of second half was vintage mayo from the naughties
There is still a lot to work on which is no bad thing, and still the likes of conroy, durcan and ohora to return.
I think there's a freshness there and if they keep improving, we could have a decent championship
Eoghan McLaughlin just isn’t a natural footballer and it’s costing us when the pressure is in game after game
He is obviously very fast but his decision making is abysmal. I don’t know if he is worth persisting with. That may be harsh but I thought it last year , last week and today was the final nail
McLaughlin is an athlete, v little football in him. That was fine in 2020 but he'd want to be improving his skills now, or else he's not going to have the impact I thought he might
