So the big 3 are now Dublin, Kerry and Galway.
Maybe we should just let them play a Super 3!.
It would avoid some awful takings which we'll get with 8.
Armagh, Fermanagh, Laois are awful.
Cork not much better
Ros, Monaghan, Kildare middlin.
Donegal and Tyrone -remains to be seen.
How much of Armagh have you actually seen this year?

Just to let Rosfan know Armagh,Fermanagh are as good as any team in Division two this year so if Armagh,Fermanagh are awful then so to was all of the Division two teams this year.

Ehh.. we'll see if this is true.

You have already seen Armagh beat Clare who finished 3rd in Division two. Fermanagh beat Monaghan Division one and we'll see if Roscommon can beat Monaghan if drawn against them.

Sport isn't a straight line.

Looks like the AI Final will be Fermanagh v Armagh.
Better put one of these in  :D

On what basis are Armagh as good as any D2 team?

On the basis teams from Div 2 this year are very average.

The league isn't really an indicator. Roscommon peaked in the league and continued their form in the final of the provincials. I can't see them getting any better

Armagh didn't peak in the league and I don't think they have peaked still in which is the problem with this team for too long they blow hot and cold. They have given a glimpse of what they are capable of in the last 8 minutes in the game yesterday. Armagh are looking at a potential 2nd QF in two years and their third in 4 years with many of these coming off the back of third division.

Only two Div 2 teams left now. Few of those knocked out covered themselves in glory either. Louth hammered by Leitrim. Cavan left to wonder when their U21 success will be seen at senior championship level. Cork were hopeless in the Munster final, Tipp no fitness to last past 50 mins. Meath knocked out of Leinster championship by a Div 3 team at least they went down fighting on and off the field v Tyrone and Clare beaten by Armagh yesterday but shouldn't forget Armagh reached the last eight last year by beating Kildare something Mayo couldn't do yesterday.

Div 2 is really Roscommon the winners of that division who are left to fly the flag on their own as i don't trust Cork to beat any side in round 4. What level are they though? were competitive against one of the form teams in Div 1 in the provincial final and didn't lose it until injury time has the 4 week break been a help of hindrance and drawing Tyrone for example will be just as tough to beat as Galway was.

You watched a grand total of zero Roscommon league matches to even think about typing that.

I don't believe they did. Lost to Down,drew with Meath beat Tipp,Cavan,Cork with late rallys. They peaked in 2016 for the league when they beat Kerry and Donegal away and had nothing left after the two Connacht finals.

Clares fitness levels were just not good enough yesterday, if they were anyway near what would be acceptable from a team playing at this stage of the championship Armagh would be out.
