All Ireland Final Armagh v Galway 28 July 2024

[Brendan]

As harmless as it was how f**king dense were those cops waving flags, surely they knew the Jim Allisters of this place would jump on it

Geezer will be getting a big letter of apology in the morning from all his begrudgers

Wouldnt exactly be saying that. Hes been there for 10 years and relegated multiple times. Could easily have lost today but luckily galways shooting was horrendous

Yeah hes useless...

Can you honestly say you were 100% happy with him and his performances over the past 10 years. Everything i said was factual, relegated multiple times and if shane walsh converted 30% of those chances instead of 20% of them galway would have won.

It doesn't take anything away from armagh

If you'd offered any Armagh supporter in 2014 that they would have the highs and lows of the past 10 years and end up with an All Ireland in 2024 they'd have snapped both your hands off like 30 other counties in Ireland.

You can go through every All Ireland final and there are ifs and buts and wides and misses - it doesn't matter one jot.

Plus when Galway scored Armagh responded. If Walsh had a higher conversion rate I still think Armagh wold have found a way to respond.

I like Galway myself, and Joyce, and hope they win it in the next few years.

Likewise. His Galway team which won in 98 and 01 were superb to watch. Barring one game obviously haha.

A bit daft alright. Internal investigation now too. And it was harmless ffs

[naka]

The old psni to get a touch in the morning from the usual suspects, the bitter pricks.

Fair play to them, do more for community relations in South Armagh than any politician .

Sums up the unionists
That will do more for community relations than anything they will ever do !
Head bouncing what a day

It was a strange enough final in the sense that the lads that were expected to step up and put on a show really didn't. Comer, Walsh (aside from one great point), O'Neill (same as Walsh), Finnerty (off injured early on), Grugan, Turbitt and Murnin, none of them put in the performance that you would've expected or hoped for.

Can you imagine the offered odds before the game of those lads, as a collective, only scoring 2 points from play between them.

Outside of that, Armagh won and thats all that really matters.

[gallsman]

O'Neill may only have got the 1 point but he was crucial throughout as a creator and facilitator. He's matured massively this year and has been exceptional at 11

[Low and Hard]

Yesterday just goes to show the importance of a reliable free taker when the pressure is on. Shane Walsh made some strange decisions on frees. The two he missed in first half were crucial, can't understand why Tierney didn't hit the left sided one & why Walsh didn't steal 4/5 yards in the run up from the one near cusack stand side to make it a formality. For me Galway win the game if they nail them 2 scores.

I might be wrong with the in game nerves but did Rian score a beaut from one side of the pitch and Oisin matched it at the other side?

Armagh make people loose the run of themselves.

O'Neill's role has changed greatly - he sits very deep. He was very good yesterday and Silke maybe didn't have a huge influence which he can sometimes have. His role wouldn't really be comparable to Walsh's.

On the frees thing Armagh had one scoreable free and one scoreable mark. Rare you'd see a team with so little. (Grimley could have had a mark for his point too).

Rians infront of the Hogan was the point of the day for sure.

[gallsman]

It was almost a carbon copy of his shot that fell short for the goal against Kerry. Oisin's was every bit as good.

[square_ball]

Grimleys point was brilliant as well following the long kick pass by Oisin O'Neill.

Agree they will really rue those misses, shows exactly how important the frees are in low scoring games like that. Hard to begrudge Armagh really but Galway will surely feel it was going to be their year after dethroning Dublin and beating Donegal.

I always felt Armagh were capable of at least making finals if they got it together as they have a very strong forward line and about 20 something players that can really be effective so strong from the bench too. You just can't rely on a couple of star forwards at that level, every forward and attacking player needs to chip in scores. That's another reason Dublin were so hard to stop due to the depth.

Can't be a troll for point out the obvious facts lol. Actually I thought armagh could have won an AI 2-3 years ago if they had been a little bit more quicker going forward.
