PATRICK MORRISON: "For me, my former teammate Blaine Hughes has been the standout goalkeeper in this year’s championship. His time away has allowed him time to reflect and return with a renewed energy and purpose in his play."

Heading out one night in Armagh and had my shirt tucked into my jeans passing some fellas one shouted “Where d’f*€k you going with your shirt tucked in.. Ballyhagen or somewhere??”
I laughed!
When Kerry & Dublin play men behind the ball it’s the beautiful game.. when Ulster teams do it is sh1te/puke/horrible football.. 🙄

last Sunday & why JOHN 8:7 should be at the forefront of all Gaels minds when deliberating about the Tiernan Kelly incident. Opening paragraph👇🏼👇🏼
Some perspective plz.. I’m an ex-Armagh GK played with many of the current team. Haven’t attended the last few games simply bcz of the cost of what the whole day would be for 2 adults & 2 kids (1/n)
Until county managers and the GAA/GPA realise they have to sell the games, they'll have to get used to playing in front of smaller crowds.
When the product isn't the most exciting at the moment & there's complete silence from the camps, it's no wonder crowds are down

High catching balloons, tackling with tennis balls, 2 & 3 balls in a game, rave music during training - you name you tried it, tweaked it & made it work!! Not sure we’ll ever catch up with him but we’ll give it a damn good go 👍🏻
My late father had a great phrase he used to say to us when challenging times arrived.. “DEAL WITH IT!” he’d say.. “Stop moaping And start moving! Do whatever u need to do to improve your situation.. be the change you want to see in the world.”
Times like this we need his wisdom

This reminds me of my own story.. called up to Armagh team aged 30.. made senior inter county debut in 2015 v Limerick in NFL Div.3 game 1 day after my 31st bday.. a year later I became the oldest ever championship debutant in a Qualifier game v Laois at the age of 32yrs 4mnths

He may not have won a GAA All star but this fella lit up the championship and stirred an interest in goalkeeping not ever seen. You couldn't buy his jersey for months such was the craze in our county about him. Never saw as many kids wearing it. No All star? Fine, he's our star.

Daddy turned down chance to take Dublin in 2010 opting for Lovely Leitrim simply bcz he felt he was needed more in Leitrim than he was in Dublin.. always fought for the underdog & was never afraid take team bottom of league..
ON THIS DAY
Armagh Harps claimed the 2017 SFC title when goals from Ultan Lennon and Ryan McShane helped see off Maghery 2-9 to 0-11
And who could forget Paddy Morrisons unbelievable last minute save to deny Maghery a certain goal at the death!

Paul come to Daddy to improve his fielding.. Daddy had given him a jump program that taught him how to increase his leap & hang time (toes pointing up when in air like a ski jumper).. they met regularly in Sherry’s field across from our home house in Armagh...
If Armagh fans could replicate this in some form in Dublin next week it would bring a massive atmosphere to what is surely to be a great weekend of football 🟠⚪️

Use the “3 Feels”
- How do you feel your runs/movement is?
- Why do you feel this?
- How do you feel you can improve this?
After asking the 3 Feels then and only then add in the fourth feel.
- This is what I feel you can do also...

Fair or not fair can be debated all day long.. but what cannot be debated is the fact that the hop ball option is not even in the rules..
It’s either a free in or a free out.. it in no way can be a hop ball as was given by Conor Lane..

It’s comforting to meet & hear stories from those whom you helped, taught, coached and whose path you crossed at some stage. But, it’s not as comforting as being able to give you one more hug or one last chat on the phone would be.

My father used to teach 5 D’s of Defending..
Also in the small sided games the tacklers were to hold tennis balls when tackling.. if they dropped the tennis balls it was a foul.. it stopped the urge to pull & grab the ball carriers
@DonachODonnell
Teach tackle with 5 D’s:
1. DELAY the ball carrier
2. DENY them by taking their space
3. DOCK yourself to them in prep for your tackle
4. DISPOSSESS them near foot first then near hand
5. DRIVE away with possession

@EamonMcGee
@aidanwyliemcc
About a year before he died he had begun training the art of tackling with tennis balls with string attached.. the defender had to hold the tennis balls in their hands while tackling.. they weren’t allowed to drop the balls until they dispossessed the attacker...
@PlayerGaelic
Change ‘CHILDREN’ to ‘PLAYERS’ in the pic & add another Beefer quote “Players don’t care what you know, until they know you care.”
Those two simple approaches will go a long way.
