Derry are the closest Ulster team but even at that they will need a fair amount of luck to win it. Someone made the point about Armagh not coping with players running at them at pace. It's not just Armagh most teams I've seen can't cope with that. I only caught the last 10 minutes of Armagh v Down, it confirms what I believe, that we are no nearer to Sam now than 10 years ago. I watched two and a half games in full yesterday, the Tyrone/ Donegal followed by Galway Kilkenny and the first half of Limerick Tipp. The difference in refereeing between the two codes is startling. The physicality and the hits in hurling would leave most inter county footballers in a heap. Oh and while I'm at it fair play to Antrim beating Wexford.
You can't throw the ball in football though.
Everything in hurling is done at a fast pace while football is mainly played in slow motion these days.
