And 13 people on this forum think Armagh will win the AI. Tyrone and Donegal will be licking their lips to get to an Ulster final now.

Bad display from the ref indeed.

Armagh were bad and got through it, a better team and they were gone.

O O'Neil needs to be starting the final, to good to be on the bench from the start

Awful stuff. Awful unambitious ugly football from Down. Awful pedestrian attempt to counteract that from Armagh. All made incalculably worse by a truly awful referee.

Down more competitive, but not sure where they're planning to go with that type of football.

Armagh have A LOT to work on before the Ulster final. Patience shown pulling a tight result out of the bag will maybe stand to them. Rian looks to be coming back into a bit of form. And a decent bench impact. But so much of everything else was dreadful.

Armagh into the final. Be great to win tomorrow: Armagh - Tyrone be some atmosphere. Some rivalry. Last time met in Ulster final was 2005 replay in Croke Park tho their not at that level now, best two teams in Ireland then. Memories!

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

Someone should check and see if his mums from Down

Disappointed with the defeat in the end. Laverty went in with a plan that ultimatley frustrated Armagh thorughout the game but failure to get tight on Rian O'Neill for the middle 20 minutes of the match and easy free's given away for Grugan to tap over plus failure to take our own good chances (Havern missed free and Laverty mark at the end) cost us. I have to say I'm annoyed that the last kick of the game was left to a 20 year old to shoulder the responsability. Would have liked to have seen Kerr step up or maybe Ryan J who had a good game have a go. We really lack a ball winning forward and two elite free takers to get us over the line in these tighter games.

On a finishing note, hope Barry's injury isn't an aggrevation of his previous injury. Certainly looked in discomfort straight away. Wish him all the best in recovery.

But he also gave Armagh a few soft ones.

On balance I think Down did better out of his decisions. But the referee wasn't a determinant factor in the score line of this game, not even remotely close.
