Don't be annoyed by pundits. What does it matter.

Most people know that last Sunday Armagh were the best team in the land, at that very time. That's all you need to be.

On top of that, I'd have them top 3 for well over a year. Geezer has a group of players playing at their own individual peaks. I don't see a weak link this year. No one comfortably bested them in a long long time. That's a hardy side.

Drink it in. Also, there's no better feeling than being AI Champions on Christmas morning.

Maghery this evening I hear but haven't noticed anything online

Maghery have it on their facebook that the team is there at 5.30 this evening. Probably be a few Tyronies there too.

Mayo 12/1

Tyrone 20/1

Tyrone at 20/1 the pick there. Fun fact - every time Armagh win the AI, Tyrone win it the following year.

Also, Maghery is moreorless Tyrone, Star is a Tyrone man and the ref didn't harm yiz. Think you should at least acknowledge us.

Would have expected Dublin to be the favourites would agree that Tyrone would be the early value might give them the kick they need seeing Armagh getting over the line this year.

Armagh winning could be the best thing to happen Tyrone.

They have the raw materials in abundance to get back to the top.

If Galway can get their heads right after the knockdowns like Armagh did I honestly think there's an All Ireland in them myself. They're surely due a bit of luck on the injury front.

Are them new rules confirmed for League & Championship next year? If so a fair bit of adapting required there as well by a lot of teams.

[bennydorano]

There's no balance to that Tyrone side, in the game v Roscommon I couldn't believe they took Ruairi Canavan off only to replace him with an even younger cub in McElhone when it was crying out for experience - maybe more an overall management issue than a personnel issue tho.

I don't think many in Armagh even had them top 3 a year ago after being relegated and beat by Monaghan.

I agree with others that Armagh are getting little credit on all the main podcasts. It feels they are dismissing it like Tyrone 2021. I just finished listening to Andrews and O'Donoghue and it was 70% about why Galway didn't win. Endless excuses for Walsh and Comer.

O'Sullivan and Boyle are hard to listen to. They just don't rate Ulster teams

North Armagh tomorrow night from what i'm hearing (Lurgan)

[imtommygunn]

Granted Walsh kicked wides but there were balls went into Comer and he was really well marshalled - it's probably a unfair on the likes of McKay to just put that down to injury because he was doing a great job. Still think if Walsh scores some of those Armagh score more anyway.

The hitting the post thing has a lot made of it. Armagh hit the post in injury time but nothing said about that.

[Applesisapples]

I didn't think Armagh were quite there, but I am absolutely delighted that they have done so. Themselves and Galway were the only two unbeaten teams in Championship football, not counting the penalties of course. I am delighted for Geezer, I have always believed that he should be allowed to leave on his own terms and he has proved the doubters wrong and I confess to having some along the way. and I hope he stays for another lash at it.

[AustinPowers]

Ah Lads, no idea where to start other than say words are hard to come by to explain the euphoria of winning another All Ireland.  What an outcome for Geezer and team, spectacular.  Leaving Clones after yet another penalty defeat in a final, I had a thought that yet another heartbreaking defeat would potentially drive that team onto something much greater, and thankfully it did.  The amount of resilience built up from so much heartbreak made this Armagh team very difficult to beat.  Despite what the multiple pundits say, Armagh are the best team in Ireland in 2024, they are deserving All Ireland Champions, and we're going to enjoy this one massively.  2025 discussion is for another year, but I hope everyone stays together to defend the title and I think they will.  Geezer will be aware that the team he captained 22 years ago, should have had at least 2, possibly 3 All Ireland titles, his current team have the potential for more as well.

Galway, we do actually know how you felt on Sunday, the devastation was clear on all Galway faces.  But you were superb in defeat, and the amount of congrats offered by Galway supporters to Armagh was amazing. One Galway fella in the row in front of me was in tears, as was I for opposite reasons, we gave each other a big bear hug at the end lol special moments on a special day. 

Was great see the younger generation witness it, and the inspiration will fuel Armagh well into the future.

Last year before a league game at the Athletic Grounds, Jarlath Burns had just won the vote to be next president, and was operating as a steward outside of the ground.  I shook his hand to congratulate him and said I looked forward to an Armagh President presenting Sam to an Armagh captain. Jarlath just said we'll settle for the points here tonight first.  I really wasn't expecting it in his first year, but what a moment for him and Jarly Og, you couldn't have written it.

Last night's homecoming in Armagh was epic and exactly what the team deserved, there'll be plenty more of that in the weeks ahead!  Ard Mhacha Abu!

Any word when Sam will arrive into north Armagh again this week?

Ah man, what a moment!

Sums up the GAA in  one sentence.

If you'll excuse me , I  think I have  something in my eye .......
