I think Donegal will go through regardless too. (assuming tyrone beat armagh but I imagine they will)

Itchy

Decent 1st half in Newry, Cavan up by 3. Both teams giving it a right go. Down have missed a good bit.

armaghniac

Decent game in Armagh, now Arm 1-10 Ty 1-08 after 53 mins,
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Harold Disgracey

This ref is poor. Decent game so far, Oisin O'Neill very good for Armagh.

armaghniac

Armagh 1-14 Tyrone 2-10 after Armagh goalie lost sight of a high ball.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Captain Obvious

Any day or night you beat Tyrone is a good night.

Itchy

Cavan were 6 up 15 mins into 2nd half, ended up 2 behind. Then went 2 up on 70 mins and managed to concede 5 points in 5 mins of injury time. Cavan will find a way to lose

Impressive enough from Armagh considering there's about 3 or 4 realistic championship starters on view. Oisin ONeill a clear MOTM I'd imagine, Cian McConville with a good showing, think a corner back Mcgrane from ballyhegan got 1.1. Good organisation and structure. Cowl night. 

Edit. Thought ref was excellent.

Lamh Dhearg Alba

Entertaining enough game between Armagh and Tyrone. Too many cheap frees conceded by Tyrone and add in a pile of wides and clear goal chances missed and you won't win many games. That said, Armagh deserved the win based on the second half. Will be interesting to see how many of the Tyrone youngsters appear in the weeks and months ahead. Few of them had their moments without making a strong case for staying on the team.

What is the semi final draw?

Entertaining end to end game though. Down went 35 mins without scoring. And dropped at least 6 shots into keepers hands. Cavan had chances to win though. Ohare thr sweeper keeper for Down was really good.

This is very true. There were times when you thought some of the play was interesting, especially in the full forward line, but then they'd go out of the game or weren't that clinical. Think Tyrone had something like 10 wides and gave away 10 scoreable frees. Though, had Tyrone stolen it at the end it would not have been deserved. Armagh stretched Tyrone at the right times. Morgan probably Tyrone's MOTM.

Some has to be done about the O'Neill yard-grabbing phenomenon. Rian and now Oisin are masters at it. And the ref staring at it.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

All free takers do it. Irritates the life out of me

Said it before on here. The white spray they use to mark free kicks in the soccer would cut it out in an instant.
