Quote from: SouthDublinBro on June 29, 2025, 05:39:21 PMDick Clerkin was right about this Armagh team.

What did he say about them?

Weakest team to ever win the AI.

They're better than the Tyrone team that won the 2021 All Ireland*

Tyrone beat Ulster champions Cavan,  Donegal, Monaghan, Kerry and Mayo to win the all ireland.

I'm a glass half empty type of guy a lot of the time but I could feel in my water all weekend it wasn't going to happen. I thought we got what we deserved, ht score was a miracle imo and we looked way off it from the start. Kerry were excellent and extremely easy winners but I thought we were terrible from start to finish.

Still an incredible team there so we'll be back.

Kerry awesome today, only thing is it's very hard to replicate shooting efficiency like that two games in a row. Anyone got the stats on their score to shot percentage?

Shaun Patton will be having sleepless nights if they draw them.

Stats just came up, 27 out of 38 chances converted, around 70%. Actually expected it to be higher.

Quote from: J70 on June 29, 2025, 05:51:37 PMOne thing is clear after the weekend: teams better start planning for rapid changes of approach when their kick out gets locked down.

The last few years have been like that. When Dublin were winning they were killing teams on their own kick out in the last 15 minutes. Kerry would do it to teams too - it's why they beat Derry that time.

You did wonder should mcgeeney have brought on hughes.

Nah, Tyrone 2021 had a tougher run and played better football. Last year's Championship overall was of a much lower standard. Indeed it was the worst quality season I can recall. Armagh deserved to win it though and their progress over the past few seasons and with a group of players who hadn't excelled at underage should be an inspiration to all. I wasn't convinced the new rules would suit them but they looked pretty good - until today. Margin of defeat actually flattered them.

Kerry looked very good. You'd have them and Donegal out in front of Tyrone and Meath at this stage.

Are we in danger of falling into the trap of over rating Kerry now?

Barring a unprecedented 20 minute meltdown before from Ethan Raffterty were they that much better than Armagh?

Captain Obvious

Outclassed by Kerry after the 40th minute.  Armagh destroyed on their own kick outs, should Blaine Hughes have been brought on? Never got to handle of Sean O'Shea all match.  Kerry had big impact off their bench and some thought they were lacking in strength in depth.

No not sure about that.

Tyrone wouldn't have got within 10 points of Dublin. They didn't believe they could nor know how to do it. Mayo gave them a gift from heaven and they grabbed it with both hands.

Armagh were better winners.

And it hurts me to say it.

Wildweasel74

This Kerry team got 3/4 passengers and rely on 3/4 special players. They missing their midfield, so nobody under or over rated them, just better team on the day.

Milltown Row2

Was it a flash in the pan from Armagh?

They did lose two games leading up to this

Kerry were poor enough by reports (missed first half) and the first 10 minutes they were second best..

Why do teams not hammer and press kick outs all the time?
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Clerkin is a gobshite and is bit rich coming out with that from Monaghan.
A team can do no more than win the All Ireland in a given year.. Tyrone constantly had to listen to that begrudgery. . Puke football.. covid All Ireland..    :D

The Trap

Look at the Kerry and Mayo teams that tyrone played in 2021 and come back Wobbler?
