Have Donegal a hope against that Kerry team either?

If they win tomorrow of course

McQuillan been a disgrace here

Will breeze be a factor here?

Brolly will annoy a lot of LFC supporters with this!

That's just a snapshot of the podcast. Dion came back in and suggested that Liverpool would be more community based. And the conversation went on. I think you'd need to listen it all to get it in context. I listened to it a few days ago and as a complete podcast he doesn't come across as offensive.

I hate the way Joe eulogizes about football and hurling then totally dismisses every other sport including soccer and cricket yesterday.

How has Dion stuck it so long with him.

Would Andy Moran step back into the hotseat at Mayo or Roscommon? Even Cavan...

McConville to Louth or would another Dub step in. Like I was saying if Philly did the business with Naas would be jump?

Joyce might step away - I'd chat him to come in with Kildare as a coach as he lives there and he might be open to a backseat gig...

Andy Moran would be good shout for Roscommon.

They usually go for an outside manager though.

When's the last time they had a Rassie in charge?

Cavan on look out now too

Correct decision from Cavan.

They need a clearout and a rebuild now with players suited to the new rules.

A lot of great servants to the county of the years might retire now. Owe Cavan nothing but a fresh approach is needed.

Christ, I find it hard listening to Devenney.
He sounds like he's always after the night before or is actually about 5 pints into the day after.
Talks a lot of scutter.

Jeez you must be the first man I've ever come across with a disliking for Devenny.

I thoroughly enjoy him. Great craic and has a good knowledge of the game.

In response to a comment above on Paddy Andrews. He does have a an awful bad habit of cutting across people but unlike Brolly I think it's a subconscious thing for him.

I like Andrews though good knowledge of the game and good banter with him tommy and james

They not the weakest team to win an All-Ireland, they won a bad final last year, but showed all the right stuff this year.The goalkeeping issue they need to focus on. Plus they changed their midfield past 2 game. The defence next yr need major surgery. Great going forward, poor at actual 1 on 1 defending.

Grimley/Crealey for me is the best midfield combination that we have both were off it today. This was an area expected Armagh to be on top especially with O'Connor out.

Why didn't Rafferty not kick it out there more instead of trying to hit Murnin when he had that meltdown.

At least if you lose it it's on the opposition 45.

To be fair Murnin is excellent in the air.

Not disputing that but he must have hit him 3 or 4 times when it wasn't working. Put massive pressure on him.

Kerry were missing their first choice midfield you'd think it was Armagh who were.

Kerry whilst exceptional in the second half were gifted alot of aspects of the game by armagh's naeivity which is something we haven't said about Armagh in a long long time.

O'Shea absolutely uncontested for 3 or 4 two pointers is unheard of. They must have been so caught up on the threat of Clifford in behind that they forgot about O'Shea.

Jim will surely have donegal prepared for when they get penned in for when they inevitably meet Kerry.

Is the cat out of the bag with Kerry now  have they showed their hand?

Are we in danger of falling into the trap of over rating Kerry now?

Barring a unprecedented 20 minute meltdown before from Ethan Raffterty were they that much better than Armagh?

FT Kerry 0-32 Armagh 1-21.  Who would have guessed that margin of victory?

I called a 4 point win for Kerry so not too far off 😅

Rafferty being exposed has been the losing of the game. Just shows you how important the keeper has become in the modern game.

Should they have kept with Blaine Hughes.

Rafferty had a total meltdown

Armagh going for goals last 3 attacks is stupid

Heads completely gone like Monaghan yesterday.

Armagh gone out like a whimper a sad defence of their title
