Replying To countymonaghan:  "Understandably Armagh are going to be massive favorites. This is their 4th Ulster final in a row and have won an All Ireland in that time also, as well as competing at the top stage the whole time. They could be easily going for 4 Ulster titles in a row only for 3 narrow defeats and bad penalty taking.

Monaghan have a lot of fires to put out against this Armagh team. Conanty, McConville, Duffy, Turbitt are massive scoring threats inside. McMullan, Jarly Og, Murnin coming from deep are awful powerful runners and need watched so Monaghan have a lot to worry about with regard to armagh running directly at them.
But if Monaghan show up with their second half attitude, work rate and fight they will put it up to Armagh. Monaghan had their fair share of wides/shorts on Saturday there so this needs improved on also.

Listened to Conaty and McGeeney speak after their semi final and they both stated how Monaghan will not have a fear of them come the final day. Monaghan have a free shot at an Ulster title, big few weeks preparation and try get the bodies right and fit.
