Good to see Tyrone giving a few boys a run out. Armagh seemed to be at full strength and tried every trick in the book.

Easy you...

Tyrone brought on Donnelly and Meyler to see the game out and I always felt as though Tyrone were the more likely winners, if Armagh had scored the penalty they would have stole it. Armagh badly need a more dynamic half back line. Grimley was excellent at midfield and O'Neill, Grugan, Campbell and Clarke would get onto almost any county team. Whilst O'Neill needs to learn to release the ball quicker at this level, I think he is well capable of adjusting.

Thon Armagh boys still can't tackle.

Armagh diving is embarrassing, Neymaresque. Obviously they've been coached to go down and roll around. Tyrone's 2nd / 3rd string had plenty in the tank. Another routine victory.

Someone clearly wasn't at the game or even watching

An enjoyable game,
Hopefully Armagh continue to develop because Ulster football needs this rivalry .

Believe it or not our tackling is a lot better than it has been

It's only a rivalry if Tyrone continue to field a 2nd / 3rd string, which is unlikely.

I'm sure the likes of Harte, Morgan, McNamee, Sludden McCann are all happy you view them as second or third string

For years Armagh fans took the Mickey out of Tyrone taking the competition seriously.

Tonight Armagh fans around me were the most vulgar foul mouthed cry baby yaps I have ever seen. From encouraging James Morgan to kick Canavan in the head harder to calling Joe McQuillan every name under the sun.

Never knew they wanted to win the McKenna cup so bad.

Glad to see Armagh on the rise. If they just learnt how to tackle properly they might fare ok in division two.

A few Tyrone fans around me doing similar. We all have them

My first post of the current season and I have to say that Armagh have improved. The obvious reasons for this are that a few of our better players have returned to the panel and a few more have come of age.

Shooting and tackling still remain big concerns. Coolness under pressure in each of these areas remains a concern. These have to be the areas of focus in training if we are to be properly prepared for championship.

Our strengths are in the forwards so continued focus on an attacking game plan should be encouraged

Ye've been in Round 4 and Qtr Finals last 2 years ......

An enjoyable game tonight and a pity about some of the silly carry on. Armagh need to improve their tackling that is obvious but some of the frees given tonight - for both teams - were soft. Tyrone also showed much more composure in possession.

I thought the ref was poor in general to be honest. Tyrone got some soft ones but st the same time they didn't get a couple i would have been annoyed about had we not got them
