Quote from: Hound on July 28, 2024, 06:13:47 PMSome amount of spite from Mayo and Tyrone posters! (not all)

A defining moment of the championship this year was immediately after the Dublin-Mayo Armagh-Galway group games. Mayo and Galway both missed out on topping their groups in almost identical circumstances with last second points be the oppposition. Galway wipe themselves down and get on with it. Mayo management, player and fans all despondent say it's impossible to progress playing 3 games in 3 weeks!  Then after a super performance v Dublin they play horrendously v Derry, and still nearly won. I've no doubt they would have beaten Derry and Kerry with a proper attitude and who knows what happens after that.

And some Tyrone posters have embarrassed themselves. Long may those lads dwell in Armagh's glory!

The best two teams this year in the final and it was an enthralling affair. Loved the game. Hard luck Galway, my learning would be you're not actually reliant on Walsh and Comer as I thought you were. If they are not 100% fit, then the next lad in is good enough to be the better option. You do have strength in depth.

But almighty congrats to Armagh. Some absolute wonder scores kicked today. Jarlaith deserved this. Geezer deserved this. Enjoy!!

so who are ga

I went back 5 pages and didn't fund any spiteful Mayo posts.  Please direct me to them as I'm in the mood for some couch chuckling this evening!

Yes , was thinking the same myself  🤔

Ethan Rafferty's injury meant Armagh had to go back to a more conventional goalkeeper and would appear to have improved them as a team.
The roving keeper could be a thing of the past if coaches look at this year's final and Cluxton who rarely leaves his line and has a few AI medals in his pocket.
Rafferty can enjoy his two AI wins this year has this double been done before?

Galway hit the post, crucial stat.

Went wide after it hit post so mark down as one of Galway's wides.

Look-Up!

Hard luck Galway. An out of sorts Shane Walsh probably the difference between the 2 teams. Thought they were very strong on the ball, defensively very very good, but just maybe took too few risks. Walsh was their talisman and when it wasn't working, they didn't adapt or no one else really stood up.

Congrats to Armagh, delighted for them and their manager. Weren't afraid to make the hard calls from the bench, defended well but when they broke were more direct and clinical. Took more risks too, almost even to their detriment last 10 minutes. Galway just couldn't take advantage but you have to credit the Armagh lads who stood up to some crucial moments, kicks, tackles etc

Delighted for Geezer. Shows what can be done with hard work and a team of 25+ lads who give more than the sum of their parts. No lamenting about underage success or lack of, advantages of other counties etc He has steadily built a head of steam, lacked silverware and a bit of luck, but they were always going in the right direction, players were happy, so they stuck with their man. A lessen for a lot of teams, it's not always about the quick sugar rush.

That'll be a quiz question for years. Name a team that won an all Ireland with every single score being from play.

That win had a sense of redemption about it. Galway are a fine team and will challenge again if they keep at it. I'm sure they will win it soon. All the naysayers here can do one. We f...kin did it!!!!!!!
That's just, like your opinion man.

Nobody on the All-Ireland winning teams for hurling or football in 2024 have a provincial medal.

In Armagh's case they hadn't even played in an All-Ireland semi-final until this year.

Might have  happened way back in the 1890's or  something. Usually scores weren't that high in those  days, maybe 0-3 to 0-2

Wonder if Joyce will call it a day after 2 final defeats?

Expect geezer to stay on?

ARMAGH ARE ALL IRELAND CHAMPIONS

Not the greatest of games but I don't care.

I thought Conaty was immense.

I thought Joyce was poor with his subs and left a clearly not fit Comer on for far too long. Particularly brought into focus when Turbit was hooked relatively early when underperforming.

Thought Armagh deserved and controlled the game by allowing Galway to have a lot of possession in non dangerous areas.

Do they do season review DVD's like they used to?

Haven't seen any of it yet, but congratulations to all the Armagh boys here! Enjoy the celebrations!

Commiserations to Galway. It was always going to be a tight one

Dublin, Kerry, Donegal, Mayo.

To be honest, it's a shitty comment to be making in the aftermath of a team winning (and losing) an All Ireland but there is a fair point in there. The All Ireland is open to some amount of teams at the minute. It's unusual.

Fair fcuks to Armagh. Best team in 2024 and full value for the All Ireland.
