All Ireland Final Armagh v Galway 28 July 2024

[tonto1888]

Call a spade a spade, Galway shit the nest.

Call a spade a spade. Armagh won because we were the better team

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

How does Bryson  get anything done? He seems to  constantly  go around looking  for  things to be offended at. Such a sad individual

Great to see the PSNI getting into the spirit of things!

Where was that?

If anything, is  this not a good thing for community/police  relations?

It is in Camlough, some change from 30 or 40 years ago.

Well done Armagh,  hard luck Galway.
Was a tense one but the Goal a major major score in a low scoring game like that.
Thought Galway stuck too much to "The plan" in the closing stages when maybe a bit of off the cuff madness might have caused Armagh problems.
Always nice to see a little County win Sam.

Walsh had a sideline kick in round the 21 in the last 5minutes when Galway were 1 point down in an All Ireland final.
He kicked it back to midfield.
Modern Gaelic Football is absolute madness.

I would have thought someone else would have taken the line ball hitting it to Walsh in a central position??

Thiugh Hurson was poor, did Walsh not kick Barry at one stage?

Would have liked to see that incident again as it wouldn't be like McCambridge to throw himself to the ground and roll around like that but don't think there was anything significant in it at all.

What a day. Spent the last 10 minutes waiting for the gut punch, thankfully it never came, no doubt Galway will be sick as they had the chances but I thought Armagh were very brave all day, tactically spot on, match ups all worked out, we mixed it up all day, big calls on the subs and very noticeable how much faster we were going forward. I was delighted at half time, 6-6 and I thought we hadn't raised a gallop at that stage and looked very comfortable but it was just about getting over the line in the 2nd half, you'll win nothing without a bit of luck and we got ours.

Thought Conaty, Crealey, McKay were unreal, watching it back at home Paddy Burns had a stormer too, McElroy was involved so much more than I realised (never even knew there was a last ditch block til last night!). Thought Oisin ONeill had a big influence when he came on too.

For Galway DArcy, Conroy & Maher were superb. Watched Sean Kelly warming up before the match and thought he looked way off it and immobile, I was surprised (but quite happy) to see him coming on.

Armagh's strength in depth won it in the end, not specifically yesterday's game but overall, we've had different match winners on different days, there's always been someone to pick up the slack when a big gun hasn't fired. We're going to have to change our mentality about how we look at games, first 15 means nothing to this team,  it is a 20 man team over 70 minutes.  Delighted for McGeeney, he has got some stick over the years (myself included), but he's obviously a deep thinker as well as a great leader, I think the coaches he's brought in have helped take his rough edges off and developed the whole team.

Great day. 3 hours sleep and wide awake.

As a neutral I thought he was very good. Not too many contentious decisions. One that went Armaghs way at a key time was when Jarly og was bundled over the end line and he gave a free out, I thought it was a Galway 45 myself.

Definitely feels like there has been a bit of a shift in Gaelic football towards the defensive side. The old cliche of needing 20 points to win the big games in Croke park is no longer true. 16 or 17 would nearly do it. The best sides this year in Armagh, Galway and Donegal do not give up goal chances due to how well they are structured in defence.

Ulster football is dominant.

I was listening to radio commentary on Cork v Donegal in the group stages and Tomas O'Se gave it the auld "ulster football looks good when they're playing each other, but you have wonder about the strength of it really...."

As a hurling man it wasn't the worst football match I've seen. One of the Galway attacks where they quickly moved the ball the full length of the field with some tight passing at speed and scored a point showed what the game of football could be. The slow build-up allowing the blanket defence to get in place seems to be what kills the excitement. All rule changes should be aimed towards stopping this happening.
Well done to Armagh.

Got karma in the end anyway.

Yeah absolutely the last man who would do that.

Any cynicism in the Finnerty challenge.?
The Sunday game didn't show it last night.
From the only time I saw it , looked like the Armagh man went very low towards the knee on the tackle?

Congrats to Armagh the most composed and accurate team on the day.  Has been some journey for them from those four penalty shootout losses to winning the All Ireland. I doubt before the game many expected 1-11 be enough to win All Ireland final and probably a hard one to explain for the amount of pundits/journalist that keep saying that teams needs to be hitting 20 points to be winning these games. 


Galway while only lost by a point and had their chances to bring that game into extra time at least, in truth they never reached the performance levels that beat Donegal and Dublin.  The way they conceded the goal was so unlike the defending they have done all championship and that goal proved to be the games key score. Much Like the Seagull a lot of Galway's best players was wandering round looking injured and struggled to make impact on the game.
Be interesting to see how both do next year. Last time Armagh won the All Ireland they were one win away from retaining it. Galway will likely be more hurt after that defeat than 2022 and need to look into their training methods as injuries has plagued them in the last two years.
