UFC seems to be getting much bigger in not only Ireland but across the UK. Great build up despite some cringe moments.

A who was mouthing?
B get a life

The manager. John Evans, shouting that Ros would win All-Irelands in a few years. Seriously, most of the country is delighted.

He said the ambition, if (clearly a big if) we can establish ourselves in D1 for a few years, would be to contend for AIs. What team in D1 doesn't have that ambition?

I'd expect such blatant warping of what someone said by some of the tools around here but I didn't expect it from you Farr.

I presume he would regret the comments as they clearly didn't help his team. I spoke to a few people who were at the match and they reckoned even the Roscommon warm up was lethargic - a really poor sign in my opinion. That said I'm sure there will be a reaction against Cavan.

Martin McHugh said Donegal's warm up with lethargic prior to the Armagh game, look how that played out. Usually cliched ridden rubbish that and the comments had nothing to do with that result.

I don't think the Monaghan game is on live on BBC

Extremely sad. Hope those injured pull through.

Yeah but regardless regardlessly I think Noren will win.

It will be Donegal by 5 or 6.

Derry must do what Tyrone did to Murphy to curtail his influence on the game, he dominated that game yesterday with Gallagher around the middle. Skinner will be isolated and I can see O'Boyle starting and bombarding their FB line with early high ball. This won't work though at least not enough times to win the game. We can't start Kielt due to their attacking HB line and his lack of mobility and we don't have enough men to break the tackle like Lynn.

All in all, we will give them a game but fall short, again.

And there were some thinking Armagh would too big odds at 2/1!

What exactly was Armagh's game plan?

At least Jamie Clarke showed some heart and tried to tackle and put pressure on Donegal's defence.

Why do a lot of you ignore James Morgan in team selections? Charlie Vernon is a serious footballer and if tasked with Murphy I'd say he will be up to it. I just have an inkling for Armagh. That said Donegal are a serious team, although I think they are on the down slope. It just depends how far up the other side Armagh have got to.

I agree Apples...I think Donegal are weaker this year than previous years and it's just a wait and see if Armagh has progressed from last year. I also agree about J Morgan and he'd be in my team. I think he's perfect for McBrearty and can nullify him out of the game, if Big Charles can keep Murphy relatively quiet Armagh will win this

Tyrone kept Murphy absolutely anonymous from play and they still got beat. There are more strings to Donegal than just Murphy.

Hunger alone will not win this game for Armagh, they need to nullify Murphy's influence and Vernon needs the game of his life or resort to the Tyrone tactics.

Armagh half forward line might be the most crucial in staving McHugh and McGlynn's deep probing runs.

Jamie Clarke needs to get on the ball much more than he has in previous Championship games, he'll take men with him and space should open up in front of the McGees. Kernan must convert every free opportunity that is given to him. Everything must go Armagh's way to win this I think.

He certainly doesn't have a monopoly on being rubbish, but he blew for everything. I'd rather a crap referee who let things go a bit than one like Kinsella.

Stupidest thing I've read in a long time, how is an Ulster worth more than the All-Ireland?

Two evenly matched decent teams nullified each other shocker.

Someone in the crowd shouting 'he's at that all day ref' despite the game only being 5 minutes in.

Complete sour grapes after watching that. Certainly not a dive or cheating nor was it a red card. As I said, if you have any issues it should not be with Lynn or Kinsella but the linesman.
