Not long home here, I'm  happy with the way Armagh played today overall, their heads didn't drop for a second when they went behind and I was impressed with the way they kept battling to regain the advantage where once they would have been content with going in at half time 1 point down or even level.

A few comments on individuals;

Hearty's kickouts were varied and showed some intelligence today, he was at fault for the goal though

McKeever was superb today, he reminded me of Geezer at times

Finn Mo was my MOTM, his workrate and tracking back I felt were second to none and he proved that he can be very dangerous and tackle well

Mal Mackin had a chance for a goal but took the point

Henderson was fairly anonymous

Anyone know why Clarkie didn't start?

cant understand why you thought henderson was anonymous i was at the match front row of hogan & watched match later on tv, i thought henderson was out in front of his marker every time & set up numerous easy chances with good lay offs which resulted in at least four points, should have been more if the chances had been converted, only took one shot on he probaly shouldnt have, maybe he should have been more selfish & tryed for his own scores he would have gotten more recognition for that,

Seen the lineout for sunday , what have forker & henderson done wrong to not be selected, we have chopped & changed the forward lineout throughout the league & on different occassions they have been very good, since henderson played well against laois  at full forward his best position in my opinion for the following matches he was playing out near the half forward line where he worked hard but is more effective in closer to goal, forker & henderson are generally feeding off scraps as most balls into the full forward line are naturally directed towards stevie, these players need a run in the forward line as they are easily our best option without getting sacraficed when things are not going well ie against down as they need match time to gain confidence. it looks like following the same pattern as last year all over again.
