There's two Mayo lads consistently posting that teams are at a serious disadvantage if they have to play one game a week. What absolutely nonsense!!

Playing last week did Armagh zero harm and Derry getting an extra week off did them no good.

Derry need a reset. If I was Harte, for the Westmeath game I'd say here are my best 15, but I'm going to deliberately leave 5 of them on the bench (mostly Glas lads ), give other lads a chance, and have a mighty bench.

Wouldn't call it nonsense but today highlights that Armagh are motoring nicely while Derry are in bad shape mentally and physically at moment, that Donegal match and manner of defeat has been a big turning point for them.

McGeeney just now confirmed the ACL injury for Ciaran Mackin hopefully a full and speedy recovery for him.

FT Derry 0-15 Armagh 3-17

A 3rd goal for Armagh 3-10 to 0-11 53 minutes.

FT Monaghan 2-10 Louth 2-10.  Louth had a healthy lead and decent comeback by Monaghan to claim the draw.

FT Galway 1-12 Weathmeath 0-11.  A shane Walsh goal on 66 minutes gave Galway a 1-10 to 0-10 lead.

Half time Derry 0-6 Armagh 2-8.


Correct HiMucker,  trying to follow a few games at the same.

Another goal for Armagh on the counter attack.  2-3 to 0-4

Goal for Armagh from  a good turn over.  1-3 to 0-3
