If anyone leaves clones today thinking we haven't progressed in the last 2 years then they need their head read.

If anyone leaving Clones today thinking that was a tactical masterclass - they need their heads read. 15 men behind the ball, people picking up zonal spaces, continuously giving away free kicks, inability to hit free kicks in scorable positions. Very frustrating to watch some of our best players sitting on the line so we can put in more defensive options. Barry is hopefully not as bad as he appeared.

That was an awful game. On the upside I think that's the quickest I've ever got home from Clones.

Down goals were a comedy of errors defensively. There was some running and handpassing in the build up, nothing more.

Genuinely shocked at how much credit people are trying to give down. They turned up to play as little football as possible, and when they did, were largely terrible at it.

There will be a move to fix Dublin at some stage.  Maybe more teams instead of 1.

If the GAA were to split Dublin they would be abandoning the "county team" model for national competitions. What would replace that model?

Well obviously Tyrone were number one as they won the All Ireland.  I'd have put Armagh at number 3 behind kerry 

That year I'd say best two... Kerry were easier beat..

That last free, he didn't blow for the 'first' foul, blew for the obvious round the neck free, spoke to linesman, free then given for first free (which you can't do) and thankfully he missed

Three times in the game he over turned frees awarded to Armagh and let's not mention the on the ground he gave with the ball a foot in the air

Granted those were 2 bad decisions.
But Armagh were handed 4 or 5 really soft frees about 14yards out at the start of that 2nd half. I thought Armagh got away with some late hits and off the ball hits too.

I thought the Down goals were good goals, moving the ball fast to off the shoulder runners. That's brilliant stuff.
Armagh could do with a bit of that.

They still might win Ulster, but I think they're a poor side.

Is that the biggest ever score by the Laois seniors?
