Armagh county of the decade

[stephenite]

tyrone are the best team bar Kerry of thid decade. Armagh would probably come third but wouldn't be close to tyrone or kerry.

Armagh is indeed third. However as two of Tyrone's title were won by a kick of the ball more than Armagh there is not a huge gap between them. Kerry are a long way ahead of either.

If you take the Armagh argument, that the All Ireland titles alone don't count, on what basis are Armagh third?

Record number of Ulster wins in a province which actually has a championship worthy of the name.

really?what record?

[Cúig huaire]

Lately people have been calling Cork chokers and before that Mayo, but surely Armagh are the greatest chokers of them all. All those Ulster titles over a 10 year period and only 1 solitary All Ireland to show for it. And lets be honest Kerry left that one behind them. Armaghs golden generation have come and gone and their likes will never be seen again but they really have very little to show for what was a dominant period in Ulster. The only record they have is the number of losses in an All Ireland Final, not a record anyone would be proud of.

What record is that? Or are you just talking nonsense as usual?

Has another Ulster team lost as many All Ireland finals as Armagh? They lost one in the 1950s, though I dont know the exact year, then 1977 which at the time was the biggest defeat ever in a final, then they lost to Tyrone in 2003. Have I missed any?
Losing All Ireland finals is not something we would know much about

Charming response to a reasonable answer to your question. What do you expect?

This record we do not hold. Try Mayo.

Would you like me to spell out ULSTER in foot high letters? It was you who highlighted that part of the quote in the first place.

Cavan in whatever high letters you would like lost finals in 28 37 43 45 and in 49 - that plus the fact they won 5 would prove that they are the most successful Ulster county of all time.

Thank you Mr Cash.

I think a 100% record would indeed prove that Down are the most sucessful Ulster county.
