GAA Discussion / Armagh v Galway AIQF

May as well get it started.
An intriguing draw. Both teams will fancy their chances without being over confident I would say.

At the game I only heard two incidents of booing. Both for poor refereeing decisions.


You can't be serious? A large number of our fans booed reguarly on frees etc. It was embarrassing.

A sour note on a fantastic showing from Armagh fans. Big numbers and loud, just wish we'd leave the booing at home.
In fairness Murphy earned a few boos for the way he was carrying on.
I'm not a fan of the booing and it looked and sounded classless on TV but a friend at the match said Murphy was at all sorts with Forker and that caused the booing. Still though I'm embarrassed, and it appears the Buckfast Boys have come out of hibernation now that a couple of games have been won.
Noticed the booing with Armagh fans all year. Stupid behaviour from bandwagon fans. Donegal ones used to do it quiet a under Jim mcguinness but thankfully they seem to have cut it out.
Yeah not a fan of the booing myself but lost an awful lot of respect for Murphy yesterday. In fairness the buckfast brigade made the atmosphere I thought. And they fairly belted out the national anthem.

I'm not a fan of the booing but neither would I be getting too sanctimonious on it. There are enough drab games in gaelic football with no atmosphere where you can hear a pin drop with the sideways backwards crap. It's funny that it seems to be mostly Tyrone fans getting upset over it. Maybe they are just raging that they won an AI in front of a half empty Croke Park with no atmosphere.

Would take winning an AI in an empty stadium rather than having my supporters boo the opposition after winning a 2 games back to back after 8 years.

No point defending it. Booing isn't right in gaelic football, if you want to do that go watch a soccer game.

I assume you tell that to your own fans also?

Entertainment wise Galway v Armagh will be the one everyone wants to see.

The problem both teams face is that they then come up against Derry who will smother both of them.
It's more difficult to do what Derry do in Croke Park

How much smaller is the pitch at Clones to Croke?

Someone said that Ballybofey was bigger than clones. I was listening to a podcast during the week with Aaron Kernan on it. Kernan said that Clones plays bigger than Ballybofey. Maybe Croke park is the same?

Best draw possible for Armagh, provides a realistic path of getting to AI final.

Why would you tempt fate like that. Go outside and turn around and spit 3 times immediately

Just saying it as it is and to pretend otherwise is disingenuous. All 3 sides (Armagh, Derry & Galway) will see a massive opportunity to get to the final and I don't see much difference between any of them.

Clare probably think they have a chance also

Fair play to Klopp, he's operating on a shoestring budget. Some return. 3 almost league titles.

An actual league title. A Champions League title. FA Cup. League Cup. Decent return I would say

Armagh fans are the worst. Like the English. Widely hated. Fuelled on Buckfast and God knows what else. Was scundered for them invading the pitch.

Says a Tyrone man

Worst draw for us. Would have taken Clare or Cork to be honest.
Certainly capable of winning it at the same time but will have to bring our A game to have a chance.

it's certainly a 50/50 game

It's a head scrambler trying to work out the permutations but quite why the GAA allow repeat fixtures at last 12 stage but not at quarter final stage makes no sense. I'd say both Armagh and Donegal followers both let out a collective groan at that draw. Familiarity breeds contempt and in Armaghs case we always struggle against that defensive running type team. We don't have a good record against them but we do have a renewed energy after yesterdays win.

I just hope that we play to our own strengths next time out and play more of a kicking game rather than change tactics and go down the same route of trying to beat Donegal at their own game. If that's not good enough then so be it.

we have to beat them some time. May as well be the weekend

Not that it matters now but what was the Donnelly black card for? Sunday Game have it on twitter but of course it's geoblocked  ::)

He pulled back Crealy. It was harsh

McCurry scored 7 today. 4 were from frees. He missed a couple too. This Tyrone couldn't buy a free talk is just that. Talk

Tell the commentators that. They are the ones who said it

Give the commentators the stats

Good start to the 2nd half for Armagh, lead out to three again, Tyrone down to 14 for ten minutes.

Harsh enough black card I thought

Diving from Armagh, feigning injury and demanding yellow cards. Worse than any soccer team

LOL
