On a sourer note, the actions of the armagh contingent on the hill is becoming a black mark against the county.

Riot police had their hands full all afternoon. An embarrassment and unlikely even affiliated with any clubs.

Stay well clear ulster final day!

There's riot police  at GAA matches now?

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.

Thomas Niblock has called it a phenomenal performance from Down on Twitter. I think your assessment is closer to the truth about their performance.

Beat by 1 or beat by 10, still BEAT

We were expected to get beat by 10 by most people and we should have won and in the process gave our biggest rivals a reality check..their footballers are no better than ours. Next year we can fully expect to turn them over.

So what way is he going set up to beat them next year?  Who said armagh were any good or a top team, I'm afraid like Down hadn't got it to win a big game

The jeering during the National Anthem was not something that you would see in the Athletic Grounds, even in a full house.

To think the Kilcoo boys thought they were too good for the Down team. Johnston just fell over at the end there.

Armagh were awful but Down are a dreadful outfit. Would have been a travesty to see them in the AI series.

Some speak from an Antrim man.

Good one.

Would have been critical off the first half but seeing how we played in second half was clear then that Plan was to frustrate Armagh and keep the tempo of the game slow to then hit them with pace and runners in the 2nd half I.e what happened when Kerr and Magill came on.

Would like to see us kick the ball a bit more, felt like we good have broke quicker on Armagh when the pass was on. But there's been a definite improvement under Laverty

It wasn't a matter of any sort of Down tactical masterclass shutting out Armagh and nearly pulling it off. Armagh were f**king brutal, O'Neill aside who was half decent. They should still have won the game pulling up. Has nothing to do with them "not being let play" or anything of the sort.

Down need a bit of S&C from the looks of things.

Let's guess the people spouting crap on here weren't even in clones today. The management had a plan in place to beat a top team and it nearly came off. A few missed chances proved costly in the end, but the players gave everything.

Maybe if a few more 'supporters' had turned up to get behind the team and lift them in the last minutes the way the Armagh fans did it might have got us over the line.
