NFL Division 1 2023

[greatpoint]

Having watched Armagh against Donegal and now against Galway, I never want to see them play again.

Armagh still do stupid stuff,

[Blowitupref]

 FT Armagh 1-6 Galway 1-8.  Truly awful half of football for the home side though could have nicked it with a late goal chance, battle on their hands to avoid the drop now.

[greatpoint]

Armagh were as bad against Donegal but had the benefit of that ref who seemed to lose his mind

[tonto1888]

Armagh don’t deserve to stay up this year

[Captain Obvious]

Desperate poor stuff from Armagh in that 2nd half with Tyrone to play could be heading back to Division two.

We need to say a few Novenas that John Dalys injury is not serious.
The lynchpin of our defence.

That's three arm wrestling contests Galway have had in this league, 1 win,1 draw and 1 loss.  Opportunity to reach the final v Kerry next.  Armagh decision making and shot selection was hopeless and will probably have to hope for favours elsewhere on the final day to avoid relegation.

Armagh are always playing the percentages lately trying to eek out the win, this NFL has been awful to watch, We'll be doing well to stay up now.

[An Fhairche Abu]

We need to say a few Novenas that John Dalys injury is not serious.
The lynchpin of our defence.

The lynchpin of the whole team to be honest, forget the summer if that's a bad injury, we've no one that can do what he does at the back reading the game and then going forward in terms of passing. He's one of the top 3 most important players for Galway.

Brutal bad game that will soon be forgotten about but Galway dogged out that rare D1 away win, which was great to see.

Safe and sound in Div 1 now, will be interested to see the team that lines out next Sunday against the AI champs.

They have just been beaten by a very good team. Monaghan are more likely to go down anyway.

Armagh were brutal. When you think that their goal game from a mistake, they were totally devoid of ideas up front.
Then again, I think Galway will be back in the All-Ireland this year.
So maybe that was part of the reason for Armagh's poor play, i.e. they were not let play well.

Not just basing it on tofay. We have been brutal all year

Don't think armagh are going anywhere with the current management set up.  Fresh voice in there could take them to the next level.

What next level? They are now comfortably a top 8 side and could have claims to be a top 4 team. I'm not sure about McGeeneys tactical nous and can't understand how they have drifted back into a safe possession based running game after last years championship campaign but I'd still be careful what to wish for. He has taken this Armagh team forward with a group of players who have had no real underage pedigree for a decade and where the standard of club football is probably not great when you compare it to other neighbouring counties.

Armagh have made great progress in recent years but very hard to see on what grounds they could credibly claim to be a top 4 team at this stage. Haven't got near an All Ireland or won Ulster so there is absolutely another level above where Armagh have been operating. Time will tell if they can reach that level.

Fitzmaurice on commentary about the J Og Burns turnover: "he got one of those a few weeks ago against Donegal so you're not going to get them all the time".

Should it not be a goal of the organisation to have consistent application of the rules? Why is it just an accepted thing that tackles can be refereed so differently from one week to the next?

Edit it's Eamon Fitzmaurice not O'Se

What's a tackle in the gaa?

That's the problem.
