There were of course flashes of brilliance but really they were few and far between. It's not even the 15 men behind the ball by both sides, it's the lack of desire and intensity to win the ball back from the opposition that really frustrates me. That little bit of quality off the bench seemed to tip it slightly in our favour. 2 great scores by the Cullyhanna men.
The referee completely bamboozled me with his calls throughout the match.
I see some posts about the Armagh crowd at the game. I arrived to Clones pretty late and went straight to the ground. I have to say it was noticeable the amount of really drunk young ones, and a large Garda presence. Not just a few pints, but in bad shape. I wondered was it because of the 5.15 on Saturday game but I'm probably deluded in that.
Were there any incidents re: the buckfast gang?
Not that I witnessed. Nothing major. I was in the Pat McGrane though and everything was pretty civilised in there. Last year we had a flare thrown down on top of us from the hill so it was bonus not to have that again.
Incidentally I saw one bottle of buckfast and a lad in a town top was holding it. He must have been minding it.
