As others have said the wind was a major factor so thought Armagh played sensibly in the first half .
For me murnin was excellent throughout and thought Oisin played really well when he came on.
Whilst we looked comfortable we made a lot of unforced errors which kept them in the game which can't be done on another day.
A win though so hopefully we go to Derry and lay down a marker .

If I were Meath County board I'd be going all out for Malachy O'Rourke.

He could transform that team if given time.

Would Meath not get their U20 manager on board?

They need a rebuild with that minor and now that U20 squad.

O'Bric should be involved in any set up but I think we need a proven senior county coach. O'Bric can take the senior role eventually.

Malachy might be an option but I would also look in Dublin as well for a manager and coaches. Someone who has been involved with Jim Gavin.

Regardless of the match what a fantastic way to end the season with another trophy. It was a difficult season but we came through in the end.

Hopefully we continue to build over the summer.

Since some on this board seem to be in doubt, deliberate Russian targeting of civilians continues, as it has done since Feb 2022. The slaughter continues, as in Kharkiv yesterday:

Russia, Israel - zero difference, two blood soaked fascist regimes.

So often poor in the second half this year.

Big match v Clare at home next Sunday.

Based on last night Clare and Cork will both fancy their chances.

Armagh Westmeath match.... On the 1st half- like the donegal game, westmeath were v accurate with their shooting. It was a nervous enough atmosphere in the stand, but as stated above the wind was a big factor. 2nd half was a lot better from armagh. Andrew Murnin when sent to midfield showed real leadership with some great fetching, and chipped in on the scoresheet too. Oisin Connaty looked lively, and the subs made an impact again. So while we didn't set the world alight, was good to get over the hangover of the ulster final. Best wishes to Conor o'neill, just back from a lay-off, hopefully not too serious

Also worth noting Blaine Hughes was great. His kickouts were really accurate- has a lovely way of pinging the ball to his man. Onwards and upwards!

Today showed the old FA Cup still has some charm. Workmanlike performance and deserved win against a City team that was unbeaten in 35 games before today.

Two trophies in two seasons Ten Hag has won for United and before he arrived United hadn't won a trophy since 2017. In his own words "When I took over, it was a mess at United. The team is developing and winning trophies now" This cup win was better than the league cup success last season as both Liverpool and Man City were beaten against the odds.

Lots of pundits and journalists have chosen to ignore the long injury list United have had this season which included patched up back fours with midfielders filling in,  that was the prime reason for such a poor league season and should be taken into account by Jim Ratcliffe and co then they do their end of season review and after it if their decision is to part ways with Ten Hag and replace him with some of the names mentioned in the media it will add another chapter to the decade of incompetence.

The team isn't developing though. Terrible on a consistent basis and still no style of play after 2 seasons. United have gad injuries but he has spent mire than enough to have cover but mist of his signings have been bad.

I couldn't help  thinking of Officer Crabtree reading your  post 





I agrow  with your pints though.
