Mad that Dublin could be seen as almost dark horses for Sam given their recent dominance.
I think Geezer has been unlucky with injuries and Armagh have been harshly treated in the media re their style of play. Every team in Div 1, with the exception of Mayo, play defensive first.
Geezer needs to win Ulster this year though or it will be seen as a failed year.
I think we're going all out for this year, the whole league was about strengthening the panel, the starting 15 - which we haven't seen yet picks itself in my opinion. We are very open mind, so i see us conceding a fair bit - where that will take us im not sure, we have the players, but others will be equally as confident. Really enjoyed Div2 this year, got down to the Gaelic Grounds and the new PUC - great trips we dont usually get down to.
Think Armagh were really unlucky, a weakened Mayo side beaten by Monaghan last week - seems fairly unfair - though i suppose it over the whole programme.
Be interesting to see how Ulster teams fair this year, they will have more tough game milage then everyone else coming into the new extended All Ireland series. Looking at Derry yesterday they will hard bet, they are one trick machine and a hard watch, but are well drilled and functional with one or to good players thrown in as well, tough team - Glass went off injured mind. Ulster be hard won as usual, hope Armagh do it!
