Mickey now accusing Comer of theatrics, Derry aren't helping themselves today he would have been just better saying he didn't see it.

Soup should have had a pop at his , but again he had just missed a similar one so he maybe didnt feel good about it. A wild wide and handing back procession to Patton was not the right option. When Conaty dropped short was a turning point I feel,he should have recycled, maybe bit of inexperience but the lad had a great game other than that and his wide at the last.
Very harsh and don't agree with that at all, Jarly Og is well capable of kicking a ball over the bar from 35-40m on the correct side of the pitch given his kicking style. If that was the case he shouldn't have bothered calling the mark in the first instance. I don't particularly like the rule to begin with but it is there to be taken advantage of where spaces in defence are tight in the closing stages of games.
It's a sad indictment of gaelic football that some people think a ball should be recycled backwards from a shooting position inside the 45m line and that they can't trust a player to have a shot at the posts. Playing the low risk percentages might be part of the reason why we can't see out these matches, its a fear mindset.
I'm not so sure that he is. Jarly óg falls into the category of players we have that IMO are told to not shoot unless it's almost a certainty. You can see it in our build up play. Quite a few of our lads are not going to attempt to threaten the scoreboard (in certain positions) and I'm sure the opposition know this too.

Some Armagh supporters argue that's that a draw! 4 point up with 20 mins to go, Armagh went bck into their shell instead pushing on.This time Armagh did not fold, good save to win it. Rian couldn't walk at full time, physio was working on him he had run out of gas. Why Oisin doesn't start or come in earlier is a mystery. But Donaghy telling Jarly Og to recycle a mark that was scoreable points to a mindset that leads to losing games. Twice at least they had the game won and then stopped doing what was working for them. Players running into dead ends and not taking opportunities points to that same mindset. Something needs to change, if not McGeeney then the back room. They need a change of direction. Some incredible scores yesterday from both teams, fair play Donegal they found a a way.
Quote from: statto on May 09, 2024, 12:54:06 PMCould be a last shot at ulster for alot of Armagh players like Grugan, Campbell, Murnin, Forker who have given great service to Armagh for 10 plus years. There is not alot between the sides, though Donegal will have the edge on the sideline and have came through the tougher side of the draw.
My main hope is that Armagh play on the front foot, but the likelyhood is that it will be low scoring and a lot of possession based football.

Absolutely we need him in top form to have any hopeQuote from: JoG2 on May 09, 2024, 08:51:43 AMQuote from: tonto1888 on May 09, 2024, 07:47:02 AMQuote from: JoG2 on May 09, 2024, 07:33:53 AMQuote from: J70 on May 09, 2024, 12:10:39 AMI don't know. I just have visions of Rian O'Neill giving a Tohillesque tour de force, driving Armagh on to win through sheer force of will.
Pundits leaning Armagh from what I've heard so far. "It's their time!" seems to be the consensus.
O'Neill will do well to see out the game!
on what basis?
He's a hothead...could have went 3 times with close fist tackles / hits along the Gerry Arthur side last year.
he looks to have settled some this year, albeit he hasnt played an awful lot. I hope he has as we wont win without him

Many of these players were around in previous successful regimes.
They have plenty of experienced players so they will not be viewing this as bonus territory, they will be going to win and will expect to win. There is no guarantee they will be back next year and you need to strike when the iron is hot. Same as Armagh. But that wasn't the most notable part of the article. That was reserved for him claiming that Ethan Rafferty should start the final after 10 months of not playing a match. Of course he would love that to happen so that McGuinness can set up another Odhran Lynch style ambush.
In more cute hoor-ism, McBrearty in Irish News said they do practice penalties... 1 page over, McGuinness said they dont... no time
