What's the rationale anyway? To be different from soccer?
Then you end up with poor Armagh lad who missed twice against Monaghan last year.
It's cruel sending a lad who already missed up again.

Awful way to lose a game. Some Armagh supporters argue that's that a draw! 4 point up with 20 mins to go, Armagh went bck into their shell instead pushing on.This time Armagh did not fold, good save to win it. Rian couldn't walk at full time, physio was working on him he had run out of gas. Why Oisin doesn't start or come in earlier is a mystery. But Donaghy telling Jarly Og to recycle a mark that was scoreable points to a mindset that leads to losing games. Twice at least they had the game won and then stopped doing what was working for them. Players running into dead ends and not taking opportunities points to that same mindset. Something needs to change, if not McGeeney then the back room. They need a change of direction. Some incredible scores yesterday from both teams, fair play Donegal they found a a way.
Folding in penalty shootout not sure about that however game was certainly there to be won by Armagh in normal time and extra time and will look back on that with much regret.
I thought the last two Armagh penalties weren't good ones. Patton unlucky he didn't save one before he did save one to win the shoot out. By that stage it was coming down to fellas that didn't want to take penalties.
Quote from: APM on Today at 08:35:55 AMDid Armagh do anything overly different in the last quarter compared to the rest of the game. Not really. They sat back and defended they whole way through. They gave Donegal the kickout the whole way through. They were patient in attack the whole way through.
Difference was they were turned over a number of times in the Donegal half. Mackin following a loose pass that skidded away from him, McCabe in the corner, Campbell (off the ground that wasn't). They had a couple of shots drop short and a couple of wides.
Was a period of Donegal dominance not to be expected? They also got a couple of outrageous scores. They are two evenly matched teams after all.

That game should have been put to bed by Armagh.
And they had legs coming off the bench too. Even if both teams looked set up defensive with bodies back a lot of the scores were not under massive pressure.
That being said the striking from distance was top class.
There's 20 mins approx left on the clock. 2 scores will bridge or exceed that gap of 4 points. That's a breaking ball, a mistake, a mistimed tackle etc...4 points can be scored in a minute, that's the beauty of it. Football would be some bore if a team had a 4 point lead and you'd be fairly confident they could hold onto it against a team that's as strong
When you think about, two teams of amateur players going hammer and tongs for 90+ mins, some amazing scores. Very enjoyable, glad I'm someone who enjoys it tbh
Quote from: tbrick18 on May 12, 2024, 09:26:16 PMI actually enjoyed that game.
Some brilliant defending, some class scores, not a goal chance over the whole game though.
That was actually the best I've seen Armagh playing in years. And the most disciplined, have to say they were much better than I expected.
Rian Oneill in midfield I think is definitely the best position for him. They are just short a few players I think.
When it went to penalties I fully expected donegal to win them and that Armagh would choke again. But as it played out, only one bad penalty out of 6. For the first time, I think Armagh would have won with a bit of luck.
Donegal maybe not as good as I thought they were either after the derry game. Certainly struggled for scores at times and around the middle 3rd. But they just have a few individuals who are a level above Armagh. When Armagh were 4 up they really should have pushed on, but donegal had the experience and know how to pull it back.
I though donegal substitutions were strange. Mcbrearty was an obvious penalty taker.
I'm guessing Rian was took off as geezer didn't want him taking a penalty maybe?
I enjoyed it. I'm in the minority but I love penalties, so for me it was a really good game.
Would actually rather have had donegal in our group games, but Armagh v derry will be tasty.

Football as a spectacle is pathetic.
You're hard to please!
There was some very good scores taken , but the match itself was brutal
Found it to be a intriguing watch, brutal for me is one sided contest whereby on team has thrown in the towel long before the final whistle and 5 to 7 point margin ends up as 17 to 20 point defeat.

Well done Donegal. Hope the lads and lassies form here enjoy the night
Really sore on youse tonto1888.. Won't mean a while pile now, but Armagh are winning games and have reached 2 Ulster finals in a row
Quote from: lenny on May 10, 2024, 06:19:44 PMQuote from: marty34 on May 10, 2024, 05:36:58 PMNeed to get stuck in from the first whistle and not let them breathe, especially at home.
No away supporters in so it should be hell for them. Especially important to start with intensity to get the crowd rocking.
Then nick an early goal.
The problem is with VAR it doubles the chances for them to get another penalty and also to give a red card to a Celtic player. It's very likely to happen especially if the game is tight. Tavernier has had a world record 20 penalties this season, he's scored a world record 15 penalties and missed a world record 5 penalties. Most of those have been extremely dodgy but have been awarded by VAR.Typically similar incidents against them have been ignored as they don't get penalties given against them.
Quote from: illdecide on May 10, 2024, 09:47:01 AMBig weekend ahead men, a bit nervous for tomorrow tbh but i feel like that all the time before a big game. Boat tonight and be like a kid on Christmas Eve in this hotel tonight...lol.
Quote from: illdecide on May 10, 2024, 09:44:32 AMI have this bad feeling in my stomach that this is going to be packed defenses and 15 men behind the ball with cross field passing until we're gonna pull our own hairs out. If this happens Armagh can do one, if i've to go back up that road again losing another close game thru defensive football I swear to f**k i'll crack. If we're gonna lose i'd rather have a go at them and play an entertaining and enjoyable game of football. Take the shackles off and have a rattle at them!.
