Very enjoyable game with very little between the teams. Some of the point taking was of the highest order... That'll be extremely hard to take for Armagh. There was footage of McGeeney arm in arm with his team as the last penalty was being hit, the look on his face, I was willing the penalty in tbh.

Armagh for us in two weeks time @ CP. Will be another tough contest

Niblock thinks the Anglo-Celt is the most precious piece of silverware in Ireland. Odd take.

2nd!

Neither of teams deserve to win.

The very least thing anyone should do sport is try to win.

Neither team tried to win that game.

Sport ruining c***ts, one and all.

How would you possibly know unless you've played sport to this level.. Have you? You think these teams don't want to win? Pressure of a final etc etc.. Typical hurler in the ditch posting

Level has got nothing to do with anything.

This is sport.

When your heart is set on winning, things happen.

When you heart is set on not losing, things don't happen.

There's a self-help book in you. Brollyesque nonsense

[Farted about with the lateral passes until time was up]

Donegal will be very disappointed not to get a shot off in that last minute.

Had time. Had the time. Farted about with the lateral passes until time was up. Even if you take a shot there and the ball goes dead Armagh wouldn't have had time to gp up the other end. Why why why didn't one of them shoot?

The time wasn't up, ref blew it early

It was exactly 3 minutes, which is what he declared for injury time

Not from where I was watching it wasn't

Where were you watching?

In my living room

BBC timing was behind apparantly. Not sure what RTE had

Dirty bruts, license fee paid too

Some of you are very fussy. I enjoyed that.

Same. Some of the scores throughout from both teams was excellent.
Armagh, not sure what to say, a point in 20/25 mins when 4 up. Revert to conservative football instead of going for the jugular!

What a shift from the Louth men. Will give the qualifiers a serious rattle

[professional setup]

Was tight for 55 mins decent effort from Louth but the Dubs will likely win comfortably now.

The Dubs are hard to beat at home.

It's a big help to be playing at home no doubt about it.

Feel sorry for Louth as they have a lot of good players but they just can't compete against a professional setup for 70+ mins. Not many other teams can either.

Explain how the Dubs setup differs to other counties....? Leaving aside CP

GDO's in every club.
Jobs for the boys (that are often not really job

Look at the money Dublin county board get from the GAA. More than all the rest put together.

OK, but what are the Dublin senior players, management doing that's different to what Louth are doing, Donegal, Derry, Roscommon in preparing for Championship?

I'm probably not watching enough football outside of Derry and my own club, but is it now normal to concede the opposition kickout by retreating as far as your own 45?

Purely a case of Louth doing what they have to do to be as competitive as possible against a team who've won 300 out of the last 301 Leinster titles. They played more open last year and took a hammering

Finally a thread to rival (maybe even surpass) the Late Late Show thread...?

[They're hardly sticking the arm in because of some fans travelling from Derry that'll number in the low thousands.]

Derry away to Galway at 5:30 on a Saturday, taking the piss, that's some spin to come up the road again on the same nite.

What would be taking you up the road again?

Derry people don't like spending money.

Don't mind spending money, but I do mind being ripped off. Accommodation around Galway, especially if taking a family, is extortionate.
I'll pay my Gaago price before lining the pockets of some hotel or b&b who are sticking the arm in.

You're looking at last minute hotels in the most popular getaway city in the country just when tourist and wedding (stags, hens) season is kicking into gear. If you booked in advance you'd have a chance of getting something reasonable. At a weeks notice? No chance

Government aren't helping matters by filling every hotel bed they can get their hands on with refugees

It is extortionate though and people are being ripped off the length and breadth of the country.
