If Marsden hadn't hit Jordan you'd have 2.

We weren't winning that one anyway.
Now, Geezer being brought off in 05 is a different story

-1 as Kerry likely would've bate.them out the door as they should've done in 02 and did in 06    People keep forgetting how much Kerry dominated that 02 game.

Exactly. Fcuk Armagh and all belonging to them. Kerry gifted them one.

When you think about it Tyrone sorta killed Armagh that day. The applechompers never really won a big game in Croke Park fairly since then....15 years ago.

I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

That is what happens when teams fade into mediocrity, as Tyrone are now learning

Geezer was having a nightmare. Getting cleaned and was made look like an old man by Mc guitar for the point

You've clearly never listened to Sean Cavanaghs views on it

As the French might say, bolleau!

Armagh dominated the second half: the one point victory did not reflect their dominance.

I've watched it often since - I'd hazard a guess you haven't watched it since the match actually finished.

I seem to remember Kerry hitting a lot of wides in the last 10 mins and Armagh hanging on to the slim 1 point lead?  Maybe that's not how it happened but I do remember thinking at the time that if the game had gone on for another couple of mins it would have been a draw.

When mcgeeney out that block in you just knew nothing was beating armagh that day. (Non armagh person here...)

We are a long long way off Armagh standard yet.

There's a good chance you'll both be in Division 2 next year!

Probably following a Meath/Sean Boylan model of decline with the same failure to refresh.  Takes a little longer but still inevitable.

Armagh should've had 1 if not 2 AI's before 2002. Bumpy O'Hagan kicked one into the keepers arms against Kerry when row Z would've done. Cost Armagh an AI that decision.

Oh to be back in the mid 00's. In 2005 there was some titanic battles. The two best teams Ireland had ever seen up to that point. Only Dublin since have eclipsed them.

Bumpy appeared on the local news last week and that final kick came instantly to mind, anywhere in the Canal End would have done but he took the head staggers and went for glory.

Really enjoyed the first part of the Joe kernan article on Sat.  Have to say I was a little bit disappointed with the second part.
