All Ireland Final Armagh v Galway 28 July 2024

[balladmaker]

In the three previous meetings between the sides, I had the feeling that Armagh were just about hanging in there.  In 2022, and in Sligo a few weeks ago, the general feeling was that Galway were the better side and it took a smash and grab in both games to bring Armagh back into it.  Galway also have the experience of playing in an All Ireland Final two years ago, so this will also stand to them.  However, my hope is that the previous three meetings will have no relevance to next Sunday, finals usually take on a life of their own and anything can happen.  I do think this is as close to a 50/50 game as there is, and whoever has the leaders to stand up and grab the game by the neck will likely win. 

Neither Walsh or Comer looked fit in the semi-final, as to how they've progressed in the two weeks since will be crucial for Galway. 

I expect both teams to bring blood and thunder to this, it has the potential to be a manic final and smart money could be on another day out.

I have ot 55:45 in favour of Galway. They have been better in the last couple meetings but that said, havent been able to beat us - I am not counting penalties as they wont happen this Sunday.

Have they been better?  It's a complete coin toss for me. Whoever gets the luck should that be in the form of a bounce of a ball or a refereeing decision will win the match.

Thought so myself although I see they've been turned down.  I think a goal will win this game.  Both teams have excellent forwards and I'm hoping Armagh's perform.  Galway are the more experienced and very good at not giving away possession.  Armagh by 2.

Rumours has it that if Armagh secures the victory, they intend to annex the unsuspecting village of the Moy from County Tyrone.

And Newry, and Glen, and Tullylish, etc etc

We will reluctantly agree to that if you also include taking Sean Cavanagh in that deal.
