The North Armagh ones can't drink for shite Not helped by that awful awful yappy accent that gets more and more annoying with the drink.

Having said that, I've not issue with ones taking drink before a match to an extent where they can enjoy themselves and cause no hassle, but theres always idiots taking it too far. Clowns fighting etc and taking away from other peoples enjoyment.

It's a whole load of games to whittle the number of teams down from 16 to 12. And when the draw is made you will be able to predict the 4 teams who will be eliminated with a fair degree of certainty. The main interest will centre around which teams top their groups. 

If the last 16 went to straight knock out or even a back door system where you can lose 1 game it'd be far better. Could end up with a group of Dublin, Donegal/Armagh, Derry and Cork which would be very strong. Obviously everyone will want to avoid the Connacht and Ulster runners up.

The state of Clones, the traffic/parking would probably put plenty off going. The football (in our game) was brutal but at least it was close, Tyrone and Donegal was decent.

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.

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!

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

Well done Dublin. Gutsy underdog through to another final!

Similar result and performance to the 2022 qualifier game would do

We need to improve big time from yesterday, it's definitely a 50/50 tight game. Hopefully we don't get too shite of a game and we play to our strengths rather than to suit the opposition like we normally do.

We were pathetic. Play like that against Donegal and it be 10 point hammering. I'd say Duffy will be in from the start the next day. Murnin, Soupy Turbo and others anonymous.

Cant agree with this. When the game came into the melting pot it was Murnin who made himself available to get out in front to win the ball to set up the winning score. Best player in armagh squad to do that. Never stops working. Just because he's not flashy doesn't mean he was anonymous. Armagh can take a lot away from yesterday. No need for panic

Didn't see enough of him. 0-0 from play from 6 starting forwards says it all tbh.

On a positive note a tight game sets us up better than another walkover and great to win one of those games for once. Rian is getting back to himself, great to see the subs make an impact.

The changes have definitely pushed this towards Tyrone.

Bad news on Paddy Lynch and Cavan for the upcoming group stage.

Sorry to read that, serious player and comes across as a decent lad as well. Speedy recovery.

Leinster would be interesting without Dublin. The quality would still be shite mind but at least it would be competitive.

A decent man earning a living.

Read an interview with him the other day, absolutely awful, poor fellas.
