Armagh go marching on. The shooting efficiency of the two teams was like chalk and cheese.

Quote from: Gael85 on June 01, 2025, 04:42:58 PMArmagh undefeated in 70 minutes in last 2 years . Will keep it going. Dublin are gassed. Nothing to show after first 20 minutes but wides.
Trying your best to jinx it fella.

Galway are one group of lucky devils.

Quote from: galwayman on June 01, 2025, 03:22:35 PMGalway not at the races at all today.
Looks like we are about to head out of the championship with a whimper.

Yes should Derry hold on to win and Armagh win then Galway are goosed

Very poor by Tyrone tonight somewhat lost the run of themselves with that win over Donegal who was a little lost without Patton. Well done Mayo with that win they blow the group wide open.

Don't have much time for Oil rich club winning Champions League final however have a likable manager they were hugely impressive against Inter Milan side who was like a rabbit caught in the headlights.  Penny for the thoughts of Mbappe?

Had the misfortune of coming across Colm Parkinson giving a small sample of his paid preview of this game. Who pays for that shite?

Quote"I have to say i'm rooting for Dublin, i prefer the high press..i don't like Armagh's zonal Gaelic ball"

Big contrast in styles this Sunday - we'll see how a zonal defence with 11 players works in Croke park

Quote from: Captain Obvious on May 28, 2025, 09:02:03 PMNever a 14 point winning margin match however Louth defence was open for goals and Tyrone especially McElholm was clinical 2nd half with 2-3.  Grimes deserved his man of the match award.  Louth will look back on what they missed six two pointer frees kicked wide over the 60 minutes between their goalkeeper and full forward.

Tyrone where streets ahead of Louth.
Did you watch the match on the radio?

Quote from: SouthOfThe Bann on May 28, 2025, 08:01:31 PMTyrone's ability to produce really small but incredibly skillful forwards amazes me.

That Grimes lad oozes class.

Has stepped up when McElholm McCullagh was marked out of it in that 1st half.  Harsh score line on Louth however not helping themselves with the manner of the goals they conceded.

Seem to really hit a nerve for Ewan when his name wasn't mentioned in that meeting last night instead called a group of abusive toxic individuals  :D

Quote from: balladmaker on May 26, 2025, 01:02:20 PMSo, a big game in the offing.  Dublin a two week rested team following their win over Galway.  Armagh coming in off a dose of the jitters late on against Derry with just a week's break.

Has the makings of a good contest with a decent crowd in attendance.  The bookies have it at evens, draw 7/1.  Joe McQuillan to ref it.

The winner will have one foot in the quarter final.

Depending on the result of the other game, the winner could be in the QF.

Derry win, Armagh win => Armagh in QF, Galway in trouble.
Galway win, Dublin win => Dublin in QF, Armagh and Galway play for second and third place
Derry win, Dublin win => Armagh v Galway becomes survival


The most likely outcome however I won't be surprised if Dublin make their exit at the Quarter final stage for the 2nd year in a row.

Quote from: thebigfullforward on May 25, 2025, 06:44:38 PMMight go under the radar but that was some defensive effort. To only conceded the 1 point from a 20m free is unbelievable. Well done to all involved

The Kerr lad will be a big miss for Tyrone and even more so for his club.

Aussie rules calling?

Should Peter Harte have looked to work another score than boot the ball out of play on the hooter?  In the group stage you never know with scoring difference.
