Quote from: SouthDublinBro on June 29, 2025, 05:39:21 PMDick Clerkin was right about this Armagh team.

What did he say about them?

Weakest team to ever win the AI.
Clerkin is a gobshite and is bit rich coming out with that from Monaghan.
A team can do no more than win the All Ireland in a given year.. Tyrone constantly had to listen to that begrudgery. . Puke football.. covid All Ireland..    :D
Did Clerkin actually say that? Before the Ulster final  he wrote 'as reigning All-Ireland champions, they demand respect' and thought they could beat Donegal. He also said that Armagh still have a lot to prove before being ranked as serious AI contenders this year.
Dick has being proved absolutely correct, Armagh like Monaghan went out without a whimper

You draw Kerry and your first reaction is McGuinness? ;D

Donegal v Kerry final it is

Meath have had a fantastic season, but I think the way Donegal are going, they should get the win there. The other semi will bring a load of nostalgia around the buildup, but realistically Kerry are just a cut above the current Tyrone team

Quote from: Captain Obvious on June 29, 2025, 06:00:12 PMOutclassed by Kerry after the 40th minute.  Armagh destroyed on their own kick outs, should Blaine Hughes have been brought on? Never got to handle of Sean O'Shea all match.  Kerry had big impact off their bench and some thought they were lacking in strength in depth.
What more would Blaine Hughes have done out of interest? He'd just kick it straight down the middle and Kerry would more than likely win those too

Hughes is simply better on kick outs.

Tyrone will need a serious dollop of luck to overcome Kerry.

Meath could beat Donegal, do not write them off.

That was a weird statement. Surely the 13 Ulster Final, which he played in, was their biggest? They hadn't won Ulster since the late 80s.

He says things to get headlines- that's just another one of them.

On the RTE interview he said he'll give it a few week before deciding to stay on or not for a 12th year with Armagh.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

I know there was instances of keep-ball before and the hooter came in but it's now established practice across all levels to kill time.

You're like a man swimming in clear blue, beautiful waters, on a sunny day on an uncrowded beach, surrounded by friends and family, complaining that some other family - keeping their distance - happens to be there.

You're upset but you don't know why.

What the f**k are you on about?

That you'd find misery in anything

Most probably he didn't say that either.

Fair play to Kerry. A sensational performance. Armagh didn't do themselves justice but Kerry didn't let them. The end of a good Armagh team I fear. Fair play to all involved they've given us some great times.

Plus, it was a quarter final. Weren't they in a semi two years ago??
