A lot of the Cross players are non-drinkers. Jamie Clarke is one I think.

I think McGeeney will go as well, I doubt he can bring them on any further.

Was the point not ruled out on the basis it was about three foot wide?
As for AK I thought he was mom for two reasons. 1. He was the only player who came close to performing in the first half and 2. He seemed to have a hand in most scoring attacks. Mal Mackin was very good last 55 mins but was non existent first half.

When the referee overruled his umpires to disallow Hanratty's non-point, an overweight smoker at the Dalton end shouted "How is that a square ball you fcuk ing gypsy"
Some intelligent people in the crowd.
M.Mackin was MOTM

Why do Armagh & Down hate each other so?
It's not as if you've had grudge matches in recent times or both been strong at the same time to generate real rivalry??
Because the average Down fan has the humility of Graham Geraghty combined with the grace of a championship Hill 16 part-timer.
Armagh were horrendous in that first half tonight. Wicklow, for all their application and belief, are in Division 4 for a reason yet Armagh were very fortunate to still be in touch at half-time. Despite dominating the final 55 minutes, Armagh still conceded goals at crucial moments. The fact that 7 or 8 substitutions were made and the worst performing starting player survived 90 minutes says it all about the quality patrolling the line.
In an attempt to dwell on positives, Jamie Clarke was superb, Mal Mackin had another excellent match and all the substitutes who aren't related to members of the coaching staff had decent games. Johnny Hanratty in particular was excellent and should start in Aughrim.
Does the pitch at Aughrim have floodlights or is it likely to be a Saturday afternoon throw in? I presume Sunday is a non-starter given that the Minors are playing in the Ulster final.
Presume they'd need to take account of the possibility, although I suppose the light was grand at the end of the match tonight so perhaps that's a silly point to raise. My recollection that Wicklow qualifiers tend to be in the afternoon rather than evening though I may be wrong about that.

Hughes gave Hegarty a slap. May have been harmless, but its generally at least a yellow. Harte is absolutely correct about McLoone. Didn't see the fouls in the lead up to the goals, but even if there was, there were plenty of fouls missed or not given our way.

Donegal were a disgrace today with the cynical fouls, the time wasting, the yapping. A referee with balls would have shown 3 Donegal men the road before mcLoone even came on.
Puke football of the highest order and hopefully the thrashing they deserve is around the next corner.
Tyrone threw that game away, even against 16 men.

RTE's GAA coverage reinforces every negative stereotype that puts off people from non-GAA backgrounds becoming more involved, going to games etc.

You can patronise them all you like but they were the better team for the majority of the game.
