Credit to Louth into the Leinster senior football final in two years running for the first time since 1957-1958. A pity it's Dublin eyeing up another AI title they'll face but will have the group stage after that and will be 2nd seeds.

Kildare need to have a full review to how and why this year has gone so badly for them.  Lost all Div 2 games and have now dropped to the Tailteann Cup and would anyone put money on them to win that competition?  For a county that has been strong and had success at U20 and U17 the last 5/6 years they should not find themselves at that position

Armagh and Donegal have played 140+ minutes of football this season with a single point separating them.

Yes, it's clear that it's Donegal's to lose.

Donegal maybe ever so slight favourites given the 2 championship games both have played. Both league games I don't think either team went all out and we've obviously gained Rian back who will be a massive help.

The final is a game that's got 0.13 to 0.12 written all over it! It will be an arm wrestle. My biggest fear is the Armagh sideline, there'll no doubt by some unnecessary tactical masterstroke from McGeeney. It'll likely be a game that will be won ugly, so i don't care how it's won, but I would really like to see us play to our strengths and have some balls.

I hope geezer doesn't over think it too much. We need to learn the lesson from 2022 and the 2 matches against Donegal that year. The first match in Ballybofey we played to try and counteract Donegals strengths and ended up getting soundly beaten. A change in tactical approach a few weeks later and we won the game comfortably by playing to our own strengths. I would like to think that the lessons will have been learned and that we play the game on our terms and not try and beat Donegal at a game which they are the masters at.

It might have even been part of the thinking by holding some of the big players in reserve for the League final earlier in the year.

Is a draw at full time or after extra time? It'd be worth a bet I think!

After 70 minutes.

7/1 is some value. As long as theres no fecking penalties, although we have an actual goalkeeper this year so we've half a chance!

I know the game was scrubbed but the McKenna cup did happen

Apologies if it was mentioned earlier in thread but any update on Barry O'Hagan Down men? I know he is only back from bad injuries, hope he is alright
