Armagh v Kildare Thread

[topoftheright]

Undecided after yesterdays performance whether the glass is half full or half empty,everyone seems to agree that Kildare were poor ,the question is was that down to our good play or were they just poor.I for instance like everyone else thought Toner was outstanding ,but at midfield he seems to do that,he has one great game then three ordinary performances.When he plays fullback he seems to always play well.There is the question mark over A.Kernan,also Henderson I believe there are half a dozen areas under the spotlight I just wonder did yesterday clear any of them up.

Martin O'Rourke? Corn, what's the story here, is he simply injured or is there something else to his absence? I know he's a divisive choice, but I reckon he's still worth a place in the HF line. Feeney is playing his role at the minute, and as much as I admire his work ethic, I can't help but feel he's just a less effective version of O'Rourke.

Divisive? That's generous. On GAAboard a poster today said thank god we have movede on from Martin O'Rourke at CHF. Think he has played once there in Championship.

He is working extremely hard getting back fitness. Has played a few challenge games for us and at half fitness is running the show. I too would have him in there, but I think me and you are in the minority given how things are going. As for county this year? I have no idea, I hope he is.

Duffy seems to be doing some job and I don 't think Shannon will get in now, which is fair enough. You play the players performing well.

Nice to see Finn Mo proving critics, including myself, wrong. Still have reservations, but fair play to him.

The poster who said Dyas has been very disappointing is being harsh. He has played less than a full match. Time is running out before Derry though.

McEvoy/Hearty saga still not finalised, but you can't be dropped if you don't make any real blunders, I expect McEvoy to start Saturday.

A consistent Toner would be a godsend.

Can the posters saying that Henderson should be given more time explain to me why SK shouldn't get the same luxuries?

It was me

Disappointing was a bit strong because of the short period he has played but what I have seen of him in the McKenna cup and league led me to think he needs more time and a season with his club could be exactly what he needs. In my view he is out of the running for the Derry game. I really don't see him making an impact until next season.

Admin v Moderator. Fiiiight.

His chances are very, very slim. He was reportedly flying in training. But he probably won't be back to full fitness before Derry game and, of course, he would need to have proved himself and will have run out of games.
