Quote from: SouthDublinBro on Today at 12:14:18 AMKieran McGeeney has now had 10 years in charge of Armagh with talented enough players. Not even winning ONE Ulster title is embarrassing. It's an ongoing culture of abject failure. Just as how Mayo will continue to not win an AI title until perennial chokers Aidan O'Shea and Cillian O'Connor are excised from that panel, Armagh CAN'T succeed until McGeeney is removed.

I'd say you're worried about Armagh!

Less the Kerry. Meath and Kildare (both play in Leinster) have a much bigger population than Louth. Mayowestros isn't a Free State county

Sickening is an understatement, we left it behind once again.  However, fair play to Donegal, their long range kicking was as good as I've ever seen. 

4 up in the second half, I thought we were looking composed and I actually thought to myself jeez we have this.  Donegal folk around me thought the same.  But Donegal made their way back into it ... we responded well in extra time, and a 2 point lead in the second half of extra time seemed like a winning lead, but again we couldn't close it out.

Armagh would need to be investing in the best sports psychologist they can get, as the mental scars on that team and management must be extreme at this stage.  Really feel for KMcG and the players, very fine margins, they could just as easily be a 2 in a row Ulster champions tonight ... but they're not.

As for penos, a direct result of the shortened season, no final should be ended like that ... we'd all love another outing to Clones for a replay next Saturday evening ... and not to forget the gate proceeds that would come in handy to the GAA.

Met An Uachtaráin, Jarlath Burns, walking up the street after the game, he was as peeved as any Armagh fan after today's experience.

Armagh do too many silky fist pumps.

Forker after the first score. You'd have thought it was the 72nd minute of the game.  Plus nearly every penalty there was a fist pump.

For that reason I was delighted Donegal won.

Donegal has been super this year under Mc Guinness. A team with a mission. Look at where they were at 1 year ago.
You'd love to be at a training session of his. It must be so high end and intense.

The game was excellent. The shooting, from way out by both teams, was quality. Some great scores.  The game had everything.

I like penalties. Probably in the minority but they are drama, if nothing else.

Be interesting to see how these two teams fair out in the group stages.

Well done, Donegal. Bar the result, it was a terrific game. Some magnificent long range shooting and excellent tackling. My only gripe Is that games should not end on penalties. I wish that Geezerwould not adopt a bunker mentality during the last 10 minutes of every game. However, I do not want to see him go. Despite his questionable endgame tactics, he did not take any of the penalties. If we had won any one of those penalty matches, peoples attitude to the manager would probably be entirely different.Hope that Armagh can bounce back from this defeat and rise to the occasion in the next three matches, which ought to be exciting.

Quote from: seafoid on May 12, 2024, 03:22:21 PM42 wins in a row
14 titles in a row.

"Thoroughly enjoyable win.
Time for the Meaths and Kildares to get up to Dublin's pitch" says John Casey


If a small county like Louth can run the Dubs as close then Meath and Kildare should be able to do the same.
