Armagh v Derry Official Thread

[J70]

Derry's only point from play in the second half was the winner!

Armagh threw it away.

end of an era?

Theyve lost both championship games this summer from a winning position, the Armagh side of recent years would have put Donegal and Derry away.

[J70]

The inability to put Donegal away was not a one-off.

[Square Ball]

Cant believe that result, were Armagh that bad?

[clarshack]

this result doesnt surprise me. the derry players took that much stick over the monaghan game that there was only way that they were going to respond. afraid now derry are going to go on a run like 01 and 04.

unbelievable! thats 2 games thrown away this year

[J70]

Martin McHugh reckons the ref missed a blatant foul on Keenan in a scoreable position just before the winning point.

If there are prominent retirements after this on the armagh side, what a dissapointing way to go out. Armagh may have failed to deliver on the promise of 2002. half a decade of trying and failing on the big stage (with the exception of the ulster championship dominance). Football will be the loser when alot of those guys take their final bow. Was this it?

Absolutely delighted!! Wat a result for Derry ( one i predicted all week )... yes Armagh kicked themselves outta it, but who cares!
The lads have done themselves proud, and have showed that with a bit of apllication they are capable. Just a pity we always have to produce an inept display to get this out of them.
Armagh obviously should have had a blatent free near the end, but going by the commentary from Jimmy Smyth and Adrian McGuckian he was terrible throughout.
Just shows what Derry can do if they play as a team and work hard for each other. remember this is a team that has been given no game plan to play to. Raw ability, guts, hard work and endeavour won through today. Not getting over excited about the result as its only a qualifier, but this Derry team is a lot more capable than most people think.
Whats the odds on us drawing Fermanagh?!!!!!!!

Just in response to previous posts from Armagh people. For so called supporters to be giving off stink about Joe Kernan and how they should have won more than one all-ireland, is beyond ridiculous. Somes up the arrogant attitude of Armagh people when they honestly believe they have the devine right to won everything every year. You have achieved a  massive amount of success over the last 8 years or so, be grateful!!!

[Puckoon]

Here we go, feckin marty morrisey and the qualifier draw!

[Oak Leafer]

Derry draw Mayo!!

Oak leafer, just incase you think im suggesting armagh should have won more than one all ireland, all im saying is that the players would have firmly believed they should have. Not necessarily the fans. In either case, im a tyrone man, and im happy with our two...

derry will take mayo if it is played in that hellhole fortress celtic park. was only it once back in 92 and will never set foot in it again. hope  they decide the venue is not up to scratch and play it somewhere like breffni - that is mayos only chance.
