So Much media coverage over a handbag incident... And that is what it was apart from Jamie being kicked on the ground and that was disgraceful.
I was at the match and to be honest Armagh bossed it:
I was in the stand but seeing videos on Armaghh GAA forum the Cavan players came in pushing and shoving and started the scuffle ( and that is all it was)..... Please excuse the PC brigade
If anything it did add to the pre match tension and while the teams paraded the noise from both supporters was great to hear.
Despite the scuffle at the start I watched and every player at the end - man for man- shuck their opponents hands. How does this comapre with rugby spear man tackles and soccers over-hyped divers....... They stood toe to toe representing their jersey and wanting to win and indeed played hard..... But this was a great GAA contest
Armagh Player per player
On other boards there have been some critics of MCEvoy but he did really well I thought under pressure and with great varied kickouts.
FBL - Morgan and andy were excedllent. Charlie had slow start but was great after 20 mins and cleared the line for the goal
HBL - Bremdy. CMK and MShields did brilliant. We couldn't keep Aaron on bench all day so Mark was shepherd crooked but did nothing wrong.... Great defensive disply
MF - Toner was IMMENSE and for me MOTM..... Findon did ok but Ethan Showed that he should be there in 2nd half
HFL. I have been a critic of Dyas but today he showed up everywhere... Eating my hat as he was an outlet and didn't give a stray pass. McVerry put in a hell of a shift and must have been dead on his legs when taken off as OPTA STATS would show him covering everywhere i would say. Caoloan was just brilliant too. His defender was so cocky pre- match but is he now -NO........ And to score the goal from that angle.... SUPERB
FFL.....
Jamie was beaten, shirt pulled and sttod upon but showed why in top 3 fwds in Ireland. Only downside is he tried to get goal of season by beating ever back while goal at mercy...... but who am i to criticise
Soupy - not best days as missed two golden goal chances. He is a confidence player and on another day he could have scored 2-5... Wouldn't it be worse if we didn't have a p[layer to get into these spaces.... Always works his socks off and will give everything. His day will come
Ethan..... FF not his position. When moved to MF he was immense. He is strong, young, athletic and his 45 showed he can point them from 60 yards out.... He is the future and could be better than Mr McGrane..... His catch to set up Aaron for goal chance was something else.
To think - if best 15 start we can have Harold, McKeown, Shields, Mallon, Soupy and much much more talent on bench is sending good vibes
The future is bright the future is orange
To those saying the caveat we only beat Cavan..... We didn't beat them we destroyed them... If we took scores we would have won by 10 - 15
