As an Armagh fan there is an embarassing buckfast brigade that show up in the latter stages of Championship. Other counties have this element also (maybe beer though). I'm not sure what started the row on Saturday but it did look a two way street. A friend from the south pointed out to me the closeness of Armagh and Monaghan and the fact that cross border socialising, parishes etc may have meant the row was a continuation. I'm not sure if this is true but seems plausible.

Bottom line is Armagh's fear of losing this year has been greater than their composure  to win. Should have won Ulster, should have beaten Monaghan. Can learn from these last two years though and are next in line for an Ulster title.

Are they really?
I honestly believe so. They really aren't far away.
Don't agree. They are miles off. I don't get this narrative about Armagh! Monaghan should have wrapped up the QF in normal time given the amount of chances they missed.
On what basis is the Armagh forward line so highly rated?

Overall, Armagh had a poor year.

Stole draw with Mayo, got very very lucky with 2 soft frees
Threw lead away vs Galway
Missed bagful vs Roscommon
Woeful v Tyrone
Parked the bus v Kerry, but could have won
Very very lucky vs Monaghan with Beggan mistake
Stumbled over line vs Donegal

Played 3 p1ss poor teams to make Ulster final, and threw away vs Derry

Lucky vs Westmeath
Woeful vs Tyrone
Lucky-ish vs Galway

Threw away vs Monaghan

Not wishing to stick the boot in out of glee but the defensive set up for that last play was píss poor. Armagh went man to man,  Monaghan players then moved to locate themselves away from the space between the 21 and 45, even players took their willing dedicated marker towards both sidelines. Once the ball got moving, then  McCarron takes his marker out of harm's way. There was so much space opened up between the 45 and 20m lines. McManus received the ball, (the clutch legend) could spin around his lone marker using the ring road bus lane. To top it all, Beggan was alone in an acre of space on the 20m.

It was dreadful defensively
Why not foul in the corner if we were going to foul.
that was brian dead from Armagh to allow Monaghan up the field easy like that

They can only beat what is in front of them but will get shown up next week for the average team that they are.

28 other teams would love to be as average as Monaghan right now

Armagh need to sort this out and Monaghan as well. Man up and admit there is a problem and address it.
Those people involved need identified and suspensions issued. All ticketmaster purchases should require a club id or county id.

Bit OTT there, although I would agree Armagh are the common denominator in these instances. There is a well established booze brigade within their support every summer. Thankfully this is a localised issue for Armagh, and it requires a localised solution. Armagh board need to plan now for these types of behaviour next year.
No need to run to ticketmaster to police it.

Armagh fans must have been in disguise on the hill today

Monaghan got their first dose of reality today. A bigger dose of it on the way next week.
