After all that hard work over the last 2/3 months and it backfires on you in spectacular fashion.

No hard work to call things are they are and I had no involvement in Liverpool letting another Premier League title slip through their fingers.

 

Trust Armagh to screw up your moment of glory.

@trueblue1234 Best to save your pity for Jurgen Klopp who was on course for a perfect send off which would have been the first league title for Liverpool to pick up in front of a full Anfield for 34 years, a 3rd place finish is no consolation to that

T,is nearly as bad as being 4 points up with a quarter of a game to go and somehow throwing it away. How Armagh managed to orgestrate that level of a collapse is remarkable. Surely one of the biggest bottle jobs in Ulster history.

No where near as bad. Ulster title not won with a penalty shootout and up against a favourite Donegal side with their messiah back leading them. Liverpool on the otherhand dropped points against number of sides they should be beating comfortably over the last few weeks.

When Manchester City pick up the league title next weekend Klopp and his players will know it should have been them instead.

I know your sore, but two years running Armagh have managed to bottle it. Being gifted a draw for 2 years and still not getting over the line. They will look back and realise how bad it was. I feel for you.

The best teams on the field also happen to be the best ran off the field. 

On another note it's gone unnoticed this weekend that with two games to play Liverpool can't finish in the top two this season and from this position when the title was theirs to lose.

I seem to be in the minority but I enjoyed the 2nd half more than the first. I can understand why some enjoyed it as it was an outstanding example of long range shooting. But the build up play in between was ponderous and lacked any level of physical contact.
The 2nd was edgier and due to the wet weather there were more mistakes that brought more contact and imo was more enjoyable. Just shows you'll never please all the people all of the time.
Have to feel for Armagh after that. And while now is not the time for picking over the carcass, when they do look back they will have to question why they didn't kill off Donegal when they were 4 up. It's not an ability issue. So it's either poor tactics or they lack resilience. Both would point fingers at the side line.
That said, have to feel for KMcG. With a stroke of luck he could have had two Ulsters in a row. I think for both sakes, depending on how they see out the rest of the year, a change may be required.

f**k this is shite, playing against Donegal is now just a game of defenders v attackers. There have been some class scores but no jeopardy in the game, hardly any 50/50 contests and zero atmosphere.

Can't disagree with  any of that

Have to agree. Some fantastic scores kicked but the actual football leaves a lot to be desired. But I feared it would be worse so take the positives. The way the game's going I can't see any goal chances to add a bit of excitement. Both defences too packed.
Although I think Donegal may have a bit more in them and might start to stretch the Armagh defence a bit.

Signal away to feck here!!

Unreal. On show tonight again apparently. Coinciding with witch sightings all over Europe.

T'is a sign, the end is Near. Derry to win Sam in 2024 and the end of days.

As shown by this thread the big driver to the Tailteann Cup is that it's open for so many to get a run at it. Most of the counties in it could have a say if they get a bit of luck and a run going. We've had Wicklow, Laois, Antrim, Fermanagh, Down, Sligo, Kildare all tipped. If marketed right, this has potential. Makes a big difference from the AI run in! 

Derry away to Galway at 5:30 on a Saturday, taking the piss, that's some spin to come up the road again on the same nite.

What would be taking you up the road again?

Another piece of sh1te

I think this shows what the far right are like.

Genuinely starting to feel sorry for Brolly. GAA people who once valued his opinion now laugh at him, not with him and no-one believes a word he says.

This is true. The only reason he's still in the media at all now seems to be to laugh at him. I don't know anyone who would actually pay any heed to him apart from an eye roll. T'is a sorry state and he's even managed to turn his own against him. Pity, he was entertaining once.

Donegal will win at a canter.

I think they will win. But can't see it being a huge margin. Just don't think they have the forwards to start racking up a big score. Will be a tight cagey affair, but I think Donegal will stick to their system better and won't panic. And that'll edge them over the line. But only see 3/4 points in it.

Is that Top 4 secure for Liverpool now after Spurs losing?

It looks like it. Unless Spurs win their 5 remaining games by a 20 goal difference and Liverpool lose their 3 remaining games

Stranger things have happened....

considering one of those 5 is Man City it would have to be very very strange

It's gone from winning the quadruple to worrying about finishing top 4.  

Is that not the normal way of things. Once the title's gone you look to the next biggest challenge. Finishing top 4 is essential. Wouldn't want to be dropping out of it again. Makes it more challenging for the new manager when you're not in the CL. Harder to attract the talent you want.

Wouldn't like to have a new manager AND not be in the CL for instance...

Am I the only one thinking our conditioning is below were it should be? I thought in the 2nd half of normal time, a good few of our men stopped making the runs that we had been making in the 1st half. Think new legs then could have made a big difference. But management have been slow to implement changes. Oguz A big loss in that regards.
