One thing that was quite obvious from last night, for all the talk of Armagh's training regime, Tyrone looked much bigger, fitter & stronger. I honestly believe Tyrone wanted it a lot more (maybe in clutching at straws), but doesn't bode well for Armagh in the league and a serious improvement is needed.

Still very early days in fairness so let's see what the next few months bring.

[Moortown Spuds]

Armagh have some players that are better than the majority of Tyrone's- S. Campbell, M.Shields, M. McKenna. McVerry looked impressive too.

Armagh will cruise Division 3.

Tyrone will have a good league, followed by a p*ss poor championship. One thing for sure though, from a Tyrone fan's perspective its great to have Armagh and Tyrone having a rivalry again. I hope it stays that way because the wans from Derry will still be sh*te in 10 years time.

I find it funny how Derry folk are rowing behind Armagh fans just to get a dig at Tyrone.

That's being going on for a loonng time now. I remember looking behind me in Croker on AI final day 2003 to see a big banner - "Derry GAA...on tour with Armagh". Think they were from Magherafelt O'Donovan Rossa's club.
As you say anything to get a dig at Tyrone 

[illdecide]

My take on the game last night was Tyrone were better from 1 to 15 all over the pitch, Tyrone's early ball in FF line and Armagh's 20 hand passes around the 45m line was the big difference. Armagh laboured in attack which allowed Tyrone to easily disposes them, the one or two times Armagh cut through Tyrone was from runners or early ball in.
Tyrone looked sharp and much fitter that Armagh although TBH I wouldn't be too concerned about that in January, Sean Cavanagh totally destroyed B Donaghy last night and C McKeever was give the shopping trolley too by McAliskey which is easily done by a quick tricky corner forward, usually McKeever in HB line is more solid. S Campbell done rightly at times but it's hard to pick out any Armagh men as Tyrone were so dominant and could/should have won by a lot more.
I too left about 6-7 mins early to try and warm up and beat the traffic so doubt if I missed anything in the closing stages. Armagh have a lot of work to do but it will keep them on their toes and hopefully we'll be a lot more competitive if we meet again in the summer.
