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.

HBC08 · 03-02-2023 07:56PM

I've two spare tickets if anyone needs them just pm

Martina1991 · 03-02-2023 10:07PM

First time heading to Armagh.

Any tips or suggestions for parking around the area would be appreciated 🙏

HBC08 · 03-02-2023 10:10PM

My first time setting foot in Armagh too,isn't the league great!

Cartman78 · 03-02-2023 10:35PM

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 😁

DDC1990 · 03-02-2023 10:35PM

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.

happyoutscan · 05-02-2023 04:44PM

I'm excited by Tuohy.

PressRun · 05-02-2023 05:08PM

We haven't a clue what we're doing once the ball passes midfield. No cohesion, no creativity, complete lack of confidence.

Loafing Oaf · 05-02-2023 05:52PM

Should see this out now unless Armagh nick a goal...

We have gone full Braindead.

Did I speak too soon?

PARlance · 05-02-2023 06:07PM

Reaper very very lucky there.

happyoutscan · 05-02-2023 06:08PM

Empty goal and we slow play down. Sweet f*cking hell wtf does go through their heads.

PressRun · 05-02-2023 06:10PM

We had that game won and let it go. Ridiculous stuff.

MacDanger · 05-02-2023 06:14PM

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.

WesternZulu · 05-02-2023 06:17PM

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.

PARlance · 05-02-2023 06:19PM

Inexperience shining through.

Why McLaughlin took that shot on is beyond me.

MacDanger · 05-02-2023 06:26PM

Yeah, some of the frees were soft but we shouldn't have let it get to that

Cartman78 · 05-02-2023 06:58PM

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 😬

HBC08 · 05-02-2023 07:31PM

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).

HBC08 · 05-02-2023 08:14PM

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.

spakman · 05-02-2023 11:40PM

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

km79 · 05-02-2023 11:52PM

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

spakman · 05-02-2023 11:57PM

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
