armagh v fermanagh

[smelmoth]

Agree with the comments on the referee. He had very few big decisions but seemed to get an incredibly high proportion of the basics wrong. His performance fell below the level of competence.

Fermanagh are light in talent but well organised.

Armagh are not organised. Looked tactically bereft. Suicidal decision making and poor discipline are not things that can be explained away by a strong breeze. Murray was the pick of the men in orange

Turning point was when Rafferty shoved Fermanagh man and ref threw ball up instead. 4 up at that stage and match was done and dusted.

Couldn't agree more.  Two point swing as Fermanagh won the hop ball and scored a point from it.
We were staring down the barrel after 15 minutes of the first half.  1-5 to 0-1 down.  But we battled back well.  Managed to get on top in midfield and then Ruairi Corrigan scored one of the best goals I have ever seen at inter county level.  Beat about 4 Armagh players and then finished superbly.

Armagh played better in the second half against the breeze but let Fermanagh of the hook time and time again with some terrible shooting.  Fermanagh finished the stronger team and looked fitter in the final 10 minutes of the game.  Sean Quigley hit a superb sideline point and Ryan Jones scored a nice equaliser.

A very good point for Fermanagh and one that should set us up for promotion.
We are well organised, very fit and things seem to be on the up.

If Louth beat Sligo, they will very much be back in the equation for promotion as they have Armagh to play yet.

its a very negative approach from Armagh. One man full forward line was completely isolated when we were playing with the wind. hail mary balls offered no threat. We got no scores from the full forward line and got no scores through the full forward line.

Took the full forward off at half time and brought on McVerry. He played at half forward and we scored 3 points in the entire second half. McParland sitting on the bench and Clarke continuing to operate at half forward. You have to wonder what the brains in the sideline are doing

that free on the 14 might have been a turning point but it was also symptomatic of something that hampers armagh. A free to go 5 up triggers a few boys rushing in for a bit of afters. We pick up 2 yellow cards and the ball is thrown up. We lose the tussle and concede a free. fermangh take it quickly and we foul the 3rd man running. Ref plays advantage, Fermanagh break out and then he goes back to book a third Armagh player - really should have been a black card so could have been worse again.

How the ref took so long to book Findon I do not know.

Tipperary,Fermanagh the toughest opposition for Armagh in this division both played now and remain unbeaten another two wins should secure promotion.

I don't think promotion is in much doubt. A bit of work to do but all achievable. Would be more concerned about how we are shaping up for the serious stuff of championship football

Felt sorry for the lad from Zimbabwe at half time.He was brought out to promote the Irish language but fell flat on his face largely because the crowd was asleep.Very embarassing

Moderators!  Division 3 durt should not be permitted an individual thread for a game. In fact only div 1 and 2 teams should be on the board at all!

The amount of posters interested in this game says otherwise.
