Fermanagh had their chances of goals but either miskicked, took the wrong option or just messed it up.
Armagh deserved winners - but goals aside, they didn't look overly impressive.
Missed a lot of frees. Didnt look fluid, should have scored more points from play given the way Fermanagh just kind of stopped. If I was from Armagh I'd be worried enough.

Jarly Og lucky to stay on the pitch imo.



Goals aside...not impressive (they won by over 10 points)

If you were from Armagh what would you be worried about? Down...seriously? Do you think their "supporters " will stay on beyond half time.. unlike last year.

Derry...of course we'd be worried..they're a top 3 team standing between us and a first Ulster title in nearly 20 years...and they've improved since last year.

Was Jarly's the only bad tackle in the game?

Question for Cavan folk.
Has there been a significant improvement since last Summer?
Was really surprised how poor they were in the championship meeting.
Kept saying on the way to Brefni for the championship how you never get anything easy there, and then Cavan were so poor on the day.
I have a feeling it won't be any ways near as handy Sunday week.

If you want to avoid the traffic on the Newry Road (A28), as you drop off the A1 at Newry go via Poyntzpass, Tandragee, Hamiltonsbawn and on to Armagh.
Park at the bottom of the Hamiltonsbawn road (@ the top of the mall) and a good 10 min. walk will have you in the ground.
It's maybe 5/6 miles further but the Newry Road is a nightmare at the best of times, never mind when there's a game on.

Congratulations to David Gough on his All-Ireland win.
That was nothing short of a disgrace.
James McCarthy must be a relative.

Catch yourself on. No horse in  the race and thought Kerry got waaay more soft frees than Dublin

Matt Conor a different class.

Speed cameras on what is essentially a primary transport corridor are not the answer. A fit for purpose road is the answer.

No one is disagreeing on that, unless you are a landower. But in the meantime slowing traffic down would certainly help

Travel the A5 on a regular basis with work. Not sure speed is the issue. Set the cruise at 55 and you'll have to turn it off within seconds.
It's a dangerous road with hundreds of side roads and junctions. All speed cameras would do is raise a few quid.
The road needs a massive upgrade.
Compare the road from Omagh to Strabane with the road between Antrim and Ballymena.
Now almost dual carriageway from Belfast to Portrush!

We need VAR in big championship games.  Refs get so many calls wrong it's beyond a joke

The ref should just sit in the stand, better still on the sofa..

I don't care of he sits in Timbuktu as long as he gets the basic calls right.
Most refs get at least 2 or 3 wrong in every big game.

Another's day another big game.
As an Armagh fan it's not the disappointment that kills you, it's the hope.

See Translink have put on a few additional trains for the game now.  See a few doses crying about it on social media and claiming they can't get too Dublin if no train on.  Same people wouldn't watch a club game in back garden. 

Traffic will not be ideal, but in days gone by Armagh/Tyrone would be selling out Croker on their own and people where still able to attend the games.  As another poster said Armagh are very lucky to have access to the train where as other counties not as fortunate.

And the relevance of watching club games is what exactly?
Is their money somehow inferior? Am I some kind of second class fan because I don't watch club football?

No doubt there will be some for whom the train is the only option.
Just be thankful you're not one of them for whatever reason but try  hard not to be so condescending about it

Thankfully Tyrone v Kerry game should be a cracker, I do believe in particular Tyrone bring a different dynamic and excitement of any the northern teams to croke pk, I wouldn't rate derry,Armagh too boring for my liking, mind ya monaghan can entertain and l would ove to see them have a cut.

No excitement in the Armagh v Galway game last year?

Awh I have watched armagh quite alot this year and too structured is not how  i would describe them. A management team lacking any real game plan other than this hard man image will certainly not cut it in croke Park.

What games were you at to come up with that description?

Doesn't sound like any of the ones I was at

do casual bandwagon types stay or get early to watch the teams that they support not involved in

Normally not that bothered about the other game but will always cheer on anyone against Tyrone
