Quote from: Rossfan on May 12, 2024, 11:57:12 PMHasn't Louth a bigger population than Donegal, Kerry or Mayowestros?

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

Quote from: Captain Scarlet on May 12, 2024, 09:35:36 PMI know it's harsh but 4 clear in the 54th minute of a game where there were a lot of bodies back...
That game should have been put to bed by Armagh.


And they had legs coming off the bench too. Even if both teams looked set up defensive with bodies back a lot of the scores were not under massive pressure.

That being said the striking from distance was top class.


There's 20 mins approx left on the clock. 2 scores will bridge or exceed that gap of 4 points. That's a breaking ball, a mistake, a mistimed tackle etc...4 points can be scored in a minute, that's the beauty of it. Football would be some bore if a team had a 4 point lead and you'd be fairly confident they could hold onto it against a team that's as strong

When you think about, two teams of amateur players going hammer and tongs for 90+ mins, some amazing scores. Very enjoyable, glad I'm someone who enjoys it tbh

Well done Donegal. Hope the lads and lassies form here enjoy the night

Really sore on youse tonto1888.. Won't mean a while pile now, but Armagh are winning games and have reached 2 Ulster finals in a row

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

Quote from: thewobbler on May 12, 2024, 06:19:33 PMNeither 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

Quote from: Itchy on May 12, 2024, 05:37:01 PMDonegal 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

Quote from: square_ball on May 12, 2024, 05:36:41 PMSome 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

Quote from: Rebel84 on May 12, 2024, 03:03:35 PMWas 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

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?
