Can't believe this isn't on tv anywhere. 

Not as big a game as Tyrone Donegal. It'll always be shown ahead of Armagh Westmeath.

[Armagh18]

No reason Armagh TV shouldn't be allowed to show this is there?

The other shower of Orangemen are marching in Armagh today for any Westmeathians making the trip give yourselves plenty of time!

Is this a  common thing? Is it just a  coincidence that  they  have a parade at the same time  as a big match? 

Or do the OO check the GAA fixtures  page , then decide to  have a march  just to piss off those pesky taigs?

They're fond of it alright, they had one the day of the Cavan league game too.

For GAAgo the Internet can have many streams.

But the rights only allow so many games, regardless of bandwidth.

GaaGo should be allowed show it if rte aren't, if they don't want it then likes of armagh tv should be showing these games.

7.6 to Armagh at HT, Westmeath played with a good wind there. Armagh looked in containment mode into the wind. Awful to watch.

I actually thought Armagh were ok first half against a very good Westmeath side playing a refreshing brand of football. The High Press they used defensively really disrupted the Armagh rhythm.

Second half I felt Armagh made the necessary adjustments and fared much better keeping Westmeath scoreless for almost 20 minutes and always looking comfortable with out really having to exert themselves.

The wind was a definite factor, in the second half with the wind Armagh bunged in 5 points and then relaxed to some extent. But there were passes that went astray that that will not do in our next two games.

I thought Armagh were spot on in the first half(& throughout tbh, we won in 3rd gear) the game was shite tho. Westmeath were very ordinary - and unoriginal, but who is original these days.

Armagh Westmeath match.... On the 1st half- like the donegal game, westmeath were v accurate with their shooting. It was a nervous enough atmosphere in the stand, but as stated above the wind was a big factor. 2nd half was a lot better from armagh. Andrew Murnin when sent to midfield showed real leadership with some great fetching, and chipped in on the scoresheet too. Oisin Connaty looked lively, and the subs made an impact again. So while we didn't set the world alight, was good to get over the hangover of the ulster final. Best wishes to Conor o'neill, just back from a lay-off, hopefully not too serious

Also worth noting Blaine Hughes was great. His kickouts were really accurate- has a lovely way of pinging the ball to his man. Onwards and upwards!
