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.
