Armagh v Galway AIQF

[Mourne Red]

Armagh always seem to let themselves down.

Is it an Armagh thing or a McGeeney thing?

It's a Nordie thing.
Delighted Galway won.

They're saints in Offaly apparently https://www.leinsterexpress.ie/news/gaa/673461/five-players-sent-off-after-ugly-brawl-in-midlands-gaa-senior-gaelic-football-game.html

[Westside]

Why did RTE continually cut to McGeeney, Donaghy and McKeever as if we were watching the great minds of the GAA in action? Have any of them won anything of note as managers?

[clarshack]

Penalties are a good way to finish it and I'll say that even if Tyrone end up losing one in the future. The same Armagh ones whinging about penalties tonight no doubt were jumping for joy when the current team playing out of Ibrox lost a recent Euro final on pens.

[armaghniac]

Ibrox has nothing to do with it

45s might be more suitable, there are generally more 45s in a game then penalties.

Sour grapes.

As I said before, every team knows about extra-time and penalties before the game.

Excuses.

Ironicallly, on 70 mins, Armagh people would have bitten your hand off if you offered them penalties then.

A replay after extra time is the best way! There would be some craic all week in the build up. Galway were the better team and deserved to win though I thought they got some frees alot easier then armagh did.

No sour grapes. Armagh could have missed a 45 also.

Many more players would be more comfortable kicking a penalty than a 45.

Not too many would score a 45 at the end of extra time.

Where we squeezing that into? Where, and will it be on TV? Next weekend is for hurling. And players know next weekend is off for them regardless. We all knew it was on the day, officials, players, supporters. We deal with it, as that's the calendar we wanted

And not many players can take one. It's a rare skill. Penalties can be taken by practically any player. They make more sense

Who is we? It's certainly not the calender I would have wanted. We managed to have replays for years with no issue. Regardless the re-introdiction of the super 8 next year proves there is room for more games under the current "calender"

Exactly. And players wrecked after extra time trying to kick from 45. Don't be ridiculous.

Yip. It's pretty simple. They want to finish on the day due to the shorter season. I've yet to see a suggestion that betters penalties for that.
Kicking 45s ffs.

they can finish it on the day by having the first to two or three points after nomal extra time i cant believe the gaa have not thought of that or maybe they have.

What happens if one team has a strong wind?

[OrchardOrange]

A hard one to take for Armagh but could ultimately be the making of both teams. Galway could power on this year and when the dust settles Armagh will have a superb starting point for next year. There were lads coming on in normal time there I'd never heard tell of, so we really were stretched thin. I hope the full management team recommit. It'll be another 50/50 match in the semi.

A good weekend for Galway (& Tyrone ones by the looks of it).

Take off the orange glasses mate. We scored 2 flukey late goals courtesy of a flakey keeper. Otherwise we were miles off Galway and could've been going home bate out the gate by 8 or 9. Geezer has to go
