Game was there to be won for Armagh in normal time. 1-11 to 0-10 ahead 50 minutes played. Will it prove costly in extra time?


Over the Bar

There's been humiliations-a-plenty for Armagh in the past decade but failing to beat 14 man Cavan will be up there for years to come should McGeeney lose this one!

Half time in extra time. Cavan 0-16 Armagh 1-13. Going by the radio coverage the two teams have run themselves into the ground.

Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

3 mins to play Armagh lead by 1.

Level 2 mins to play.

That's very poor 2 games in a row from Armagh.

Still better than the beating most were predicting at the hands of a Div 1 team with the strength of successive U21 squads.  Armagh should have won but playing cautiously in the last few minutes turned over possession to bring the draw. Fear beat both teams in extra time.

Cavan will be most pleased with that draw. Armagh left the win behind them and underdogs rarely wins a replay.

Faulkner black card sums up all that is wrong with the black card. It wasn't cynical or a body check. Just a poorly timed challenge that the ref has just pulled a decision out of his as*. The tackle in football needs seriously looked at to stop this sport becoming as soft as soccer

Armagh have got some great players but the manager is completely clueless. Both Down and Cavan should have been well put away but tactics let us down. The sooner he goes the better
Careful now

You're supposed to tackle the ball in Gaelic football."within the rules of fair play "
The 2 Cavan bucks on Shannonside/Northern Sound didn't think much of the Ref.
I wonder were they ever so slightly biased?😁

Armagh are some team for the late dirty hits.

Thought the ref hard on Cavan. Armagh have a very poor defence. Very fond of dropping the knee on players on the ground. and depend on swamping the defence. Jarlath Burns was very good. McVeety and them Murray lads from Cavan also. I actually fear for the winner, a mauling in the Ulster final awaits.

Donaghy's straight red for falling with both knees into a man lying down is classic McGeeney from his playing days. Players might be well conditioned but that's a potential spleen-rupturing act. Remember Ricey getting cited for it too.  Never like to see it.

Very poor from donaghy and a deserved red card. The part about McGeeneye is nonsense tho
