Cuteness of mcmanus to buy 2 frees ar the end and of course the skill to convert them was the difference in the end.Another year, mcgeeney fails to deliver.

Stupid by Armagh to give him the frees. Very poor tackling.

They coughed up a cheap ball attacking up the middle as well which led to the winning free.

Credit to Banty in whatever way he handled the circumstances and managed to send out the team with a  championship positive mind set.

Awful pass by Campbell
It changed the momentum
Just madness

For me mcmanus looked to grab the arm in and fall over for 1st one and 2nd one very soft. But fair play to monaghan, they have had a horrid week in the county and I don't begrudge them their win today.

Lovely words from Banty there.

First one iffy and Conor was blown up for the same sort of  one earlier
Second one just a stupid lazy tackle

Armagh got a few easy ones too and the lineball that led to the 2nd goal suspect too.

A word for Banty. He spoke really well there and did great to hold his emotions in check. Fair play

100% correct, that pass was an abdication of responsibility for an experienced player like him. It was ultimately the difference in the end.

There were mistakes in the first half, and mistakes are the end. You can't do this at a high level.
Armagh did a great deal of good work, but they need to stop the unnecessary stuff, whether it be lifting the ball or haymaker tackles.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

"Buy"? The Armagh lads can't tackle properly. Biggest muckers out of the championship a tear will not be shed.

McManus is unreal, one free maybe questionable, he still had to kick two 40+ yard frees.
Did not delegate, a true leader when needed.

Geezer most overated manager with 7 years of failure.Some bottle from Monaghan to dig it out.

Armagh deserve a lot of credit for never giving up.
Two counties with great loyal supporters

Collectively Armagh ran out of steam after their efforts and made mistake after mistake, meanwhile  Monaghan just regained their composure.

Jaysus I'm near shaking after that, what a game. Great advertisment for Ulster football. Was full sure we had thrown another big lead after that second Armagh goal - but credit to the lads, they dug deep when it mattered and got the win. Can't have been easy after such a physically and emotionally draining day.

Alot of lads you could credit, but fair play to Conor for the bottle he showed in nailing two big pressure frees at the end. From being doubtful of playing any part, to playing every minute in that heat.

Hard luck to Armagh, obviously the early goals killed them. They're a young side and will be back stronger.
