All-Ireland QFs: Armagh/Roscommon, Dublin/Galway, Donegal/Louth, Kerry/Derry

[straightred]

Refs been very poor since the sending off

Armagh not getting any close decisions now

[Hound]

Half time Armagh 1-3 Roscommon 0-4. Low quality error ridden match. Roscommon looking weary after three matches in 14 days and their chances not helped with two important players off injured in Harney and Murray and just before half time Fallon seeing red.

14 man Roscommon proving that 3 games in 3 weeks is no bother at all! Utter nonsense to suggest it might be.

But athleticism has never been Roscommon's strong point. If their forwards take their chances, they are still in with a shout despite losing two to injury and the sending off. Although I would rate Armagh higher even if 15v15 so still have to be favourites, but not a foregone conclusion

[Hound]

Sounds like a much better second half!

[Armagh18]

Goodnight

[straightred]

And that will probably be that.

[thewobbler]

All over.

Rossie don't have what it takes to claw that back now.

[Itchy]

Rossies have beaten themselves here with some major errors

[93-DY-SAM]

Hard to see any way back for Roscommon now. They had hung in there and that was tired decision making to get caught for the second goal. 2 poor teams on today's display.

I beg to differ and very weary performance from them today 2nd goal conceded has summed up their day.

Shite kick out routine because they played last week, and they played the week before last?! My god.
According to Shannonside, 3 scoring forwards haven't turned up. And there's another wide, under zero pressure.  They're not blaming it on them playing last week! And there are some Rossies who are playing well.

Armagh not good as favourites but look like doing just enough.

Roscommon mistakes have handed this to Armagh. 2 sloppy goals.
Armagh with only 9 points to Roscommon's 11.
Roscommon tiredness maybe, but they are still fighting here, just some awful shooting. 9 wides and I think they said 6 short.
Brutal.

[Itchy]

That last shot from Cox sums up Roscommon, terrible decision making. Murtaghs a no show, idiotic red card and big balls up for a goal. They didn't show up today.

[Hound]

Well done Armagh. 6 games in 7 without a goal conceded by Armagh. They will improve for the semi and will relish their underdog status.

Cox and Stack very good for the Rossies but key forwards didn't turn up and it was the goals that was the main difference really.

[tbrick18]

Deserved to win it, but will need to improve a lot for the next game.
Rossies just couldn't get it together.

Poor shooting is something that I would say is fairly strongly correlated with tiredness, especially of the sort Roscommon had today with the number of shots dropped short.
Also Roscommon had to make 2 subs in the first half - fairly rare you would see that in a championship game - I'm sure that a sports scientist would say there is good odds that is likely related to players having a knock going into the game or the increased likelihood of picking up an injury when playing tired.

Armagh lucky Roscommon were so poor today. Play like they did today in the semi-final and they'll be out.
