That's the point on McFaul which not evident on tv. Ref couldn't booked 1 or 2 men ratted at McFaul, but he let it go to he was responded to every clash.

Antrim / Re: Antrim Hurling

Hurling is alive and well Belfast then. A Rossa, Johnnies 1-2 in the league before the split.

Div 1 league will split now and the Div 2 goes one more round then splits.

Will make for interesting management decisions pre championship in a group with Cushendall, rossa, St John's and Dunloy and playing them on the run in to finishing league - just makes the league less competitive in the last few rounds with teams not wanting to show their hands.

If I was Armagh I wouldn't read too much into that game. Derry ones who knew the team line-out knew we be in trouble, but we gave up very easy. I rather we revert to the way Gallagher set up, very defensive, with Glass playing sweeper.

Ah no I thought Armagh were exceptional but they need to be careful with the nonsense off the ball.

We didn't deserve anything from the game but on another day Armagh get 2 reds and concede a penalty! How McFaul got sent off when he was shouldered for every move ha made was ridiculous. It maybe wasn't evident in the tv but every turn he made someone from Armagh was all over him.

For our match against Westmeath I can't see how we win at the minute. I'd just be happy for us not to concede a goal from a kickout or a turnover up the field... I can only live in hope!

Does anyone know what has happened in the derry camp. It's more than fatigue or injury. The gamelan is just not being implemented in defence, midfield and attack. Players are not interested any more and want the season over.

🇵🇹

What happened? Did something happen over there that ruined morale? Hope it wasn't anything that broke anyone/anything apart

Murray a mile of fitness for a county player, he was puffing before half time. Thought only Baker really stood up today, with a number of players looking way of the pace. Would O'Rourke had got a more stronger panel in place?

Dick Clerkin another who totally dismissed any chance of Armagh winning today, Derry even off form are much the better team etc etc, looking forward to his rantings this week.

Well done to Geezer, players and backroom team, 1 to 15 they got it spot on today, plus subs all made an impact.  Yes, Derry were only a semblance of their former selves but Armagh clinically put them to the sword at every opportunity. 

I was worried when I heard of the late injuries, and very sorry to hear that Ciaran Mackin is out with such a serious injury.  Any word on the nature of Murnin's injury?

Armagh will go into the Galway game with a lot of confidence, as no doubt will Galway. Big game.  Will it be in Breffni?

Derry v Westmeath, after watching Derry today, that is by no means a foregone conclusion.
