Armagh and Donegal have played 140+ minutes of football this season with a single point separating them.

Yes, it's clear that it's Donegal's to lose.

Donegal maybe ever so slight favourites given the 2 championship games both have played. Both league games I don't think either team went all out and we've obviously gained Rian back who will be a massive help.

Is a draw at full time or after extra time? It'd be worth a bet I think!

After 70 minutes.

7/1 is some value. As long as theres no fecking penalties, although we have an actual goalkeeper this year so we've half a chance!

Apologies if it was mentioned earlier in thread but any update on Barry O'Hagan Down men? I know he is only back from bad injuries, hope he is alright

Well done Dublin. Gutsy underdog through to another final!

Similar result and performance to the 2022 qualifier game would do

We need to improve big time from yesterday, it's definitely a 50/50 tight game. Hopefully we don't get too shite of a game and we play to our strengths rather than to suit the opposition like we normally do.

We were pathetic. Play like that against Donegal and it be 10 point hammering. I'd say Duffy will be in from the start the next day. Murnin, Soupy Turbo and others anonymous.

Cant agree with this. When the game came into the melting pot it was Murnin who made himself available to get out in front to win the ball to set up the winning score. Best player in armagh squad to do that. Never stops working. Just because he's not flashy doesn't mean he was anonymous. Armagh can take a lot away from yesterday. No need for panic

Didn't see enough of him. 0-0 from play from 6 starting forwards says it all tbh.

On a positive note a tight game sets us up better than another walkover and great to win one of those games for once. Rian is getting back to himself, great to see the subs make an impact.

The changes have definitely pushed this towards Tyrone.

Bad news on Paddy Lynch and Cavan for the upcoming group stage.

Sorry to read that, serious player and comes across as a decent lad as well. Speedy recovery.

Leinster would be interesting without Dublin. The quality would still be shite mind but at least it would be competitive.

A decent man earning a living.

Read an interview with him the other day, absolutely awful, poor fellas.

Whatever the opposite of cute hoorism is, a lot of Armagh fans on this board have it in abundance.

I'm not gonna come on here and start talking up Down, I'm calling it as I see it, they are shite and if we can't beat them we would be as well playing Tailteann. Obviously we'd like to think that players and management won't be complacent at all and come in 100% ready to win.

Interesting one. Seems the offer was there for a coin flip for Newry or Armagh was there. Down were up for it but Armagh said no. Bad form from Armagh county board or whoever made that call if so.

Kilcoo cute hoorism. Bit late bringing it up now Laverty. Although Newry or Armagh would have been far handier.

I dont think Mickey Harte will be too upset that Derry are out of the Ulster. They have the medals from the last 2 years in their pockets. Its all about SAM for them now. They get a nice 4 week break to get themselves ready. I would not be writing them off at all.

Some egg on his chin if they end up losing in a quarter or semi final if they got a bad draw!
