Good scores from Dyas but he'll never get a marker as loose again as long as he lives.

Dyas had three different markers during the game and not only scored  5 points from play but set up several more.

Couple of points:

1. Down fans need to dry their eyes about Danny Hughes. He won 2 or 3 frees for blatent dives where he took a tumble followed by a bit of rolling around on the ground. The armagh fans were getting on the back of the ref for awarding them, and he finally copped on to what Hughes was at and stopped giving the frees.

2. Dont know why Aidan Brannigan was subbed for Down. He was very effective at breaking up the RHS of the pitch and set up several scores. When Quinn came on for him that threat disappeared and Armagh clawed back the Down lead.

3. It was a clear penalty for a foot block by a Down defender.

4. Good to see armagh youngsters like Decan McKenna, Caolan Rafferty and Michael Stevenson step up to the plate at this level.

5. Dont think that Kevin Dyas is up to it, and there are better options than him fir a half-back slot

Don't know what you were watching because Dyas didn't play at half back.He had a free role,was composed on the ball and got Armagh out of several awkward situations.Gave away one bad ball towards the end.He should back himself to shoot more often.

Just saw the penalty Armagh got on TG4 earlier. Have only just managed to get back onto my feet after falling off the chair. Drogba wouldn't have a look in

The penalty was rightly given for a foot block.

 

May I register my displeasure at players tweeting about massive hangovers. Yeah, it was a good win and they're entitled to celebrate, but it is not much of an example to set to young people.

You dont need me to remind you of the Glengormley family that are still searching for their son who fell into the river Lagan after a night out  a few weeks ago.

Catch a grip on yourself.This has nothing to do with the tragedy that happened to the Murphy family.
