Christ, I find it hard listening to Devenney.
He sounds like he's always after the night before or is actually about 5 pints into the day after.
Talks a lot of scutter.

Jeez you must be the first man I've ever come across with a disliking for Devenny.

I thoroughly enjoy him. Great craic and has a good knowledge of the game.

In response to a comment above on Paddy Andrews. He does have a an awful bad habit of cutting across people but unlike Brolly I think it's a subconscious thing for him.

I like Andrews though good knowledge of the game and good banter with him tommy and james

They not the weakest team to win an All-Ireland, they won a bad final last year, but showed all the right stuff this year.The goalkeeping issue they need to focus on. Plus they changed their midfield past 2 game. The defence next yr need major surgery. Great going forward, poor at actual 1 on 1 defending.

Grimley/Crealey for me is the best midfield combination that we have both were off it today. This was an area expected Armagh to be on top especially with O'Connor out.

Why didn't Rafferty not kick it out there more instead of trying to hit Murnin when he had that meltdown.

At least if you lose it it's on the opposition 45.

To be fair Murnin is excellent in the air.

Not disputing that but he must have hit him 3 or 4 times when it wasn't working. Put massive pressure on him.

Kerry were missing their first choice midfield you'd think it was Armagh who were.

Kerry whilst exceptional in the second half were gifted alot of aspects of the game by armagh's naeivity which is something we haven't said about Armagh in a long long time.

O'Shea absolutely uncontested for 3 or 4 two pointers is unheard of. They must have been so caught up on the threat of Clifford in behind that they forgot about O'Shea.

Jim will surely have donegal prepared for when they get penned in for when they inevitably meet Kerry.

Is the cat out of the bag with Kerry now  have they showed their hand?

Are we in danger of falling into the trap of over rating Kerry now?

Barring a unprecedented 20 minute meltdown before from Ethan Raffterty were they that much better than Armagh?

FT Kerry 0-32 Armagh 1-21.  Who would have guessed that margin of victory?

I called a 4 point win for Kerry so not too far off 😅

Rafferty being exposed has been the losing of the game. Just shows you how important the keeper has become in the modern game.

Should they have kept with Blaine Hughes.

Rafferty had a total meltdown

Armagh going for goals last 3 attacks is stupid

Heads completely gone like Monaghan yesterday.

Armagh gone out like a whimper a sad defence of their title

Capitulation from Armagh here.

I tipped Kerry but Didn't think a performance like this was in Armagh.

Armagh not playing well so far

Galway are getting like Mayo. The nearly men. Good win for Meath.

Mayo got to finals, very rarely lost earlier than that until the terminal decline of that team started in 2018.
Galway aren't a comparable team.

Mayo got beat in 2016 and 2017

How is that contradictory to what I said?

I didn't say it was contradictory.

You Mayo men easily triggered should you not be on the beer celebrating Galway getting knocked out.

Incredible that Kerry are now the most likeable team left in the championship. Dire times.

Would ya stop

Galway will probably never win an all ireland now will they?

Which is sad to see

Fair play to Meath despite not playing their best....there's an all Ireland in that team maybe not this year but in the coming years.
