Surprised that there is absolutely no chat at all on here about our big game today against Armagh. I'm heading down with one wish, that our pride is still intact after the game....anything more than that is a bonus. Good luck to everyone involved.

Bannside I think there is serious apprehension. Although we achieved objective of promotion from Div 4 conceding big scores would be a big concern. When you consider the tanking Sligo took as well. Armagh have been grinding forward slowly over the last few years and now have a few quality forwards. On our side we have only 5 starters from Cavan game and 4 from the qualifier the previous year against kildare I think. There will be a big gap in physical conditioning and Armagh's forwards will cause huge problems for a less than convincing defence. I sense concern in your post.

Win win for Aghagallon today

[bannside]

I've expressed concerns over our shoot the lights out policy and it was taken up by some as unjustified criticism. I like forwards who can attack but expect them to do their defensive duties first and foremost. I've seen all games this year to date and have fears that we need to improve our defensive thinking. Will be interested to see today if there is any movement in that regard.

It's 15 v 15 and you would hope we can deliver a competitive account of ourselves. Everyone will be happy with that.

[bannside]

Very positive at half time here. Every player busting a gut and do far so good. Defensively sound to date and controlling our share of the game. Come on Saffrons, need a good start to second half.

[BrendanAntrim]

We were well in this for 3/4 of the game. Scoreline unfair on Antrim but mistakes get punished. Loads to build on for Div 3 campaign next year

[JimStynes]

Ran out of steam in the end.

Referee should be wearing an Armagh jersey ffs

13 points loss. There's no referee saving that.

[JimStynes]

They looked exhausted there at the end. Nothing to do with the referee. Overall a good season though.

[BrendanAntrim]

A different ref wouldn't have changed the outcome, but he gave Armagh some very soft frees and very questionable decisions when our lads getting fouled. Plus the over carrying rule only applied to one team.

A couple of very harsh ones in the first half especially
