Armagh v Donegal USFC 14/06/2015

[heganboy]

That's some place kicking exhibition. Armagh are lost against this, don't know how to attack on the rare trip inside the donegal 45 and don't know how to defend against the patience of the over laden midfield.

Armagh very poor

[Wildweasel74]

This is like the sanitised version of Galway Hurlers v Dublin last week.

[Wildweasel74]

Hardly seen a hard hit in this game yet, thought Armagh were going to come with a physical approach, they do have the edge in midfield though are surrounded pretty quicker when they come  to ground

[Wildweasel74]

Plus you not going to swap the man on McBearty!!

[Syferus]

The Division 1 Division 3 divide seems very apparent at this stage!

Looking ominous for us in the next round as well!!

That doesn't really explain what's hapeening. Last August these teams were pretty much equal.

Donegal looking very impressive and look like serious AI contenders, Armagh made to look very poor.

It'll be a major shock if they don't win Ulster based on this.

[Pub Bore]

Some free by Murphy there

[heganboy]

Those frees are the only reason to keep watching this game. Each one better than the last.

What a difference a year makes!!

[Put Up That Flag]

Murphy with the frees off the ground is deadly regardless of distance,  outside Shine for Roscommon Murphy must be a close second

Key Stat

Donegal Frees Conceded 7

Armagh Frees Conceded 11

However I also was keeping track of scoreable versus non-scoreable.

Scoreable is a bit of a tricky one but basically if I felt there was a chance of a score I put it in that category. Obviously Donegal have Murphy as a threat from distance so that pushes out the scoreable distance.

However the key point is that Donegal conceded no scoreable free in that half, despite the fact that Armagh consistently attempted to run at their defence.

Donegal Scoreable Frees Conceded 0

Armagh Scoreable Frees Conceded 5

Of the 5 Armagh Scoreable Frees Donegal have conceded 4.

When are Armagh going to start fighting? If they don't hurry up it will be too late

[twohands!!!]

Wonder where this fits in to Kieran McGeeney's five-year plan?

Clearly they need more muscle
