Quote from: Armamike on Today at 04:01:00 PMQuote from: illdecide on Today at 09:44:32 AMI have this bad feeling in my stomach that this is going to be packed defenses and 15 men behind the ball with cross field passing until we're gonna pull our own hairs out. If this happens Armagh can do one, if i've to go back up that road again losing another close game thru defensive football I swear to f**k i'll crack. If we're gonna lose i'd rather have a go at them and play an entertaining and enjoyable game of football. Take the shackles off and have a rattle at them!.
Probably 99% of Armagh supporters would agree.

Another "it's their time", "greater need" analysis.
Which I think is fair enough, but it's pressure.
Reminds me of Derry in 1993, when Tohill ploughed through the muck and the Donegal backs to drag them to the title and AI shot they felt they'd fail to grab the previous year, which is why I am a little worried about men like Rian O'Neill being particularly driven!
Will never know how big Tohill stayed on his feet throughout the game, men bouncing off him while all around him, both Derry and Donegal men were sliding and slipping all around him. Still the best individual performance I've ever seen.
Philly McMahon would have given the MotM to someone else if he was Co commentator
Quote from: J70 on May 09, 2024, 12:10:39 AMI don't know. I just have visions of Rian O'Neill giving a Tohillesque tour de force, driving Armagh on to win through sheer force of will.
?
Pundits leaning Armagh from what I've heard so far. "It's their time!" seems to be the consensus.
Quote from: tbrick18 on May 08, 2024, 07:00:59 PMBut they've done nothing in recent years to show they have the nerve to win a big game - I think they are just short a few players and need to focus on the football and not the physical antics they often get themselves involved in. If they focus on playing their own game and I think they'll do better than trying to out-tactic Donegal.
Quote from: Blowitupref on May 08, 2024, 04:05:30 PMLeague and championship this year 10 games each.
Donegal have scored on average 18 points per match and conceded 13
Armagh have scored on average 18 points per match and conceded 12
Quote from: Rossfan on May 08, 2024, 10:18:58 AMThe GAA just doesn't do marketing.
Tailteann tickets should be €10 with kids free.
Make an occasion out of each Counties home game, kids meet the players afterwards, every kid gets a free flag etc.
The 3 big Company sponsors could be asked to do the publicity stuff seeing as the GAA marketing Dept. seems to be in that dusty room with the Carlsberg complaints phone.

Think someone was saying theres a few different events etc on in Cork that weekend so everywhere is booked out or extortionate.Quote from: Wildweasel74 on May 07, 2024, 04:12:39 PMDerry away to Galway at 5:30 on a Saturday, taking the piss, that's some spin to come up the road again on the same nite.
It could be worse. One problem now is that accommodation is expensive and hard to get. The Ulster winners are away to Cork on the June bank holiday weekend when there isn't an hotel room left in the place. It a fair oul drive from Armagh and a serious one from Donegal. The Ulster runners up get to go to Derry which might be a hard game but is less travel time for fans from DOnegal or Armagh.

Quote from: seafoid on May 07, 2024, 07:07:38 PMMay the best team win. It would be weird to have Galway, Armagh and Westmeath in the same group again.

His frees into the wind at the end won them that game. I remember he got a lot of stick over the past few years, notably from his own countymen.Do they really? He was a calamity against Armagh goalkeeping more inclined with junior b than an all ireland quarter final. He did well with his frees at weekend yes, but criticism after the Armagh game was fully warranted.
Quote from: Rebel84 on May 06, 2024, 09:04:39 PMThoughts on the very large protest versus the very small counter protest in Dublin today? The Shinners didn't seem to be popular with the majority of protesters.
Quote from: Lubo Moravcik on May 06, 2024, 09:16:35 PMThe Irish are the biggest hypocrites on the planet with regard to immigration. The Irish government were lobbying the Biden administration recently regarding undocumented Irish in the US. Currently estimated at about 50K in number. (probably all unvetted military age males as well, shock horror)

Ultimately this match was only an appetiser
