All Ireland Championship 2025.

[cavanmaniac]

Cavan today: at home but vastly outnumbered in the stands, out-coached on the sideline and outclassed on the pitch. Yet another predictably horrific day at the office. This should ring alarm bells as to what's going on (or not) at county board level where exorbitant sums are being spent year-on-year, and what plans they have to rip it up and start again, but it'll be business as usual - reminiscing about Mick Higgins and the Polo Grounds and consoling ourselves that the minors made an Ulster final. Tyrone on a mission against us next week only promises another evisceration and misery, and probably the end of the road for Raymond Galligan, who tries hard, but has an absolutely abject championship record and evidently got the job too early.

Big bonus for Galway that Armagh result, unless we're idiots it'll be a changed up team. You'd want more game time into Rian but definitely a game to get boys back in there. Galway will be playing with an intensity that we'll never match because of the dynamics of the group - but maybe we'll be good enough to beat them with zero pressure on us. Dublin v Derry will be very much like today's classic in intensity.

Don't forget that having won the group they also get an extra week off. With two weeks until Rd. 3 you wouldn't want too many lads not loving a ball in anger for best part of a month.

If Derry got what they deserved Galway would be out. Now they have a game against a team that has qualified top of group. Fine margins.

What rubbish is this? In what way did Derry "deserve" the win there? McKinless was brutal.

[knockitdown]

What's the story for the next stage? Top of the group goes through, and 2nd and 3rd play prelims? Is it an open draw for that?

Derry were the better team on the day and should have seen the game out for a deserved win. McKinless is not a great goalie but he is probably all we really have. Doesn't mean because he had a poor game that Derry didn't deserve to win.

Well you could look at that it is a chance to put last year's finalists out- a team who probably should have won that game as well. Big incentive to put away one of your really big rivals for Sam.

Teams that throw away 8 point leads with 20 minutes left don't "deserve" anything. Nothing Galway got was a fluke. It was gifted to them on a plate through awful play. Derry got precisely what they deserved.

Last goal was a pure fluke.

8 points ain't what it used to be. Relatively easy to claw it back nowadays.

8 points is not a big lead these days. We clawed back from 9 against you in the league. The game has changed. I would agree that nothing Galway got was flukey. In fact I enjoyed watching them. But out the field Derry were excellent and should have seen the game out. The keeper cost us. OK that's part of the game but it felt harsh that some poor goalkeeping cost the lads out the field who had been the better team.

You didn't watch the game...

[tonto1888]

At the game with no benefit of replays but f**k off Joe.

Watching it, and Joe is doing well for Armagh

Applying the rules properly and fairly you mean

Exactly, so why the Dublin Joe malarkey??

Didn't say anything about Dublin Joe

Last goal was a pure fluke.

It wasn't a fluke. It was gifted to them through sheer defensive incompetence.

Two very jammy goals for Galway, one of which should have been a sideline ball for Derry. We also played better than Galway bar a 15 min period

[Manning18]

The rule from the last 3 years where a player is stopped a goalscoring opportunity regardless of inside or outside the box, does that still apply?

Comer caught a high ball late on, has the mark so went for goal, gets fouled just outside the square.

If that rules no longer in place then why would any defender not just foul a player catching a forward mark immediately. It's going to go back for the mark anyway so it's nothing to lose and you're stopping any chance of a goal
