We were seeing pictures of that roof torrent a few years ago.

GAA Discussion / Re: Ulster Senior football cha...
Last post by thewobbler - Today at 08:00:06 AMIt's not lazy analysis Tonto.
Armagh sat back deeper and counter attacked with fewer numbers after going 4 ahead.
Armagh took the easy point ahead of the clear goal opportunity.
Armagh refused two kickable marks in preference for clock killing.
Armagh were 2 ahead in extra time and then went into hiding. Witness Donegal's last or second last point were most Armagh players drifted across to the left-half back position - with no attempt to make contact - and left the other half open.
Armagh have better players than Donegal, more experienced players than Donegal and better conditioned players than Donegal. But a fear of losing strangled them once again.
Looking for other reasons for them not winning is wrong.

Last post by Armagh4sam2024 - Today at 07:59:26 AMAbsolutely sickner again but should have taken the marks to try and push further ahead rather than playing keep ball. Unless we win the AI that was prob our best chance of silverware. Maybe it's time for Geezer and Mckeever to give someone else a go next year?

Last post by tonto1888 - Today at 07:48:19 AMQuote from: JoG2 on May 12, 2024, 11:14:06 PMQuote from: Captain Scarlet on May 12, 2024, 09:35:36 PMI know it's harsh but 4 clear in the 54th minute of a game where there were a lot of bodies back...
That game should have been put to bed by Armagh.
And they had legs coming off the bench too. Even if both teams looked set up defensive with bodies back a lot of the scores were not under massive pressure.
That being said the striking from distance was top class.
There's 20 mins approx left on the clock. 2 scores will bridge or exceed that gap of 4 points. That's a breaking ball, a mistake, a mistimed tackle etc...4 points can be scored in a minute, that's the beauty of it. Football would be some bore if a team had a 4 point lead and you'd be fairly confident they could hold onto it against a team that's as strong
When you think about, two teams of amateur players going hammer and tongs for 90+ mins, some amazing scores. Very enjoyable, glad I'm someone who enjoys it tbh
The lazy analysis will be on armaghs failure to close it out. Reverting to type etc. I've seen it already in WhatsApp groups, on Twitter etc. however, that completely takes away from Donegal upped their game. Couple of good scores and momentum shifts. Credit to them. We may meet again yet

Watched the interview and thought she was a bit mental. Stated she hadn't watch the show but knew a fair bit about it.
She might have had the 9 months suspended, she just states she never went to prison.

Antrim / Re: Antrim Football Thread
Last post by imtommygunn - Today at 07:17:20 AMI think McAleer had a groin injury (or somewhere round there). He went off pointing at that and was going well enough before then. Good player and was playing very well.
Keenan is a real warrior - probably our best player and Jordan, as usual, no far behind.
You could also see we were obviously instructed at half time to move the ball quicker and once we did that caused them problems.Still can be exposed at the back I think too. Sweeney and the no. 18 always going to left foot and seemed to be allowed to but all in all it was a decent performance. Sweeney and the likes of O'Brien made that a much better Tipp team than had been there before.
I think the Wexford game is a big one for us. Sligo are possibly a bit ahead of us so it's the one we need and they're not bad.

Last post by snoopdog - Today at 07:12:48 AMQuote from: downtothecore on May 12, 2024, 05:51:58 PMU20s grinded out a deserved win in a tight game. Some brilliant scores in the last 10 minutes by both sides but in fairness the switches made by the down management proved to be the difference.Good win for the lads, Mayo are never easy to beat. Westmeath in the final.

GAA Discussion / Re: Ulster Senior football cha...
Last post by ranch - Today at 06:27:57 AMGutted would be an understatement. The game plan seemed to work perfectly up until we led 15-11, but we slowly retreated and that extra few metres of standing off the man in possession cost us big time. I don't think management encouraged that, it just happened. Maybe making the subs 5/10 minutes earlier would have helped somewhat.
It's hard not to think this could be our last chance of meaningful silverware for a while given the draw we got this year and last year, as well as some of the more experienced players possibly moving on.
Forker has been on the senior panel since 2012, Soupy, Murnin and Grugan a year or two after him - do they have it in them to give it another crack after such disappointment? Even some of the less heralded players are late 20s/30 years of age at this stage.
I don't think there are any players around the county that are banging the door down to be on the panel that haven't been given their chance. What we have at the moment is the best we have to offer. Hopefully there's more in the tank to give the summer a good crack, but I'd be fearful that our chance has possibly slipped us by for another few years.
