Armagh v Tyrone League game Feb 6

[redzone]

That's more like the old Armagh. Mcshane wins a dubious free to put 3 in it and the 2 Armagh defenders headlock him and sludden and won't let go till there's an all out melee. But I'm sure it will come back to haunt them ltr in the year as it always has

Aye that's cos what teams who are winning normally do 

It's what teams do to kill momentum.

It does indeed and they got the win and fair play to them.

Congratulations to Armagh on their All Ireland  .

In fairness Armagh played really well first half and O'Nelil in particular was terrific. Still very early days and I'd say Armagh are ahead of a few sides with their preparation, but promising signs there for Armagh without doubt.

Tyrone on the other hand are still a long way off the pace. All at sea first half and still rather laborious in an improved second half. Ultimately that's two teams in different places but Tyrone will need to start going up a level or two over the next few weeks.

Like everyone else I lost coverage at the end. 4 reds to 1 seemed bizarre on what I did see prior to that, it must have taken a really drastic turn for that wee spell when the coverage was away. Or the ref got it wrong.

That scene of the four boys trudging off the field could become iconic.

Has that ever happened before in senior intercounty football?

100% it was Armagh up to their old tricks again.

If this doesn't motivate Tyrone for the rest of the season then nothing will.

Always a great day for Armagh when they send Tyrone home with their tails between their legs.

[Sportacus]

They'll not serve a day of suspension.

Armagh are fitter than everyone else at the minute. That's it.
The other teams will catch up with them fitness wise come championship time and then we will see Armagh fail again as per usual.

I wouldn't say so. Armagh are playing well for one half and doing the bare minimum in the second half. If anything, Armagh could get fitter when the championship comes. They are still playing without a few players who could have a huge impact come the championship.

Awful to see a Tyronie taking a national league defeat so badly 😁

Damage control?

They certainly did deserve it for the first half performance alone, indeed they should have been further ahead. They did appear to be lacking a leader to kill Tyrones momentum in that final 10 minutes and it was starting to look like Tyrone would get a score each time they came up.
I will not comment on the validity of those frees any more than I could comment on the 5 reds.

[Aaron Boone]

One would have to be excited about where Armagh are at now. They are a serious contender, not just for provincial honours, but for national honours also.

Don't get many of them to be fair.
