I'm in the Wobbler camp. A spectacle it surely was, but "the most exciting spectacle you'll ever be at", dunno about that. I've been to AIHFs before, and enjoyed the occasion, but it needs to be in the blood to be truly excited about it.

congrats to the Ogs, and commiserations to the mighty Cross.

who was on the board there last week about there being no competitive teams from Armagh city? hope the Harps can do it this weekend.

"a protestant city" an understandable - if mistaken - conclusion for a first-timer in Armagh

If Armagh city is such a Nationalist place why doesn't it have a competitive GAA club. 

hmmm. on the contrary, I can't think of any other mainly nationalist town/urban area in the North that has stronger more competitive clubs within their counties than the Ogs and the Harps, not to mention the Cuchullains.

help me out here Armaghniac, examples of leading competitive clubs within their counties from Newry, Derry, Dungannon, Omagh, Cookstown, Downpatrick, Enniskillen, Strabane? most of those towns bar Enniskillen, Lurgan maybe, struggle to have even one leading or competitive club never mind two plus a decent hurling club

"a protestant city" an understandable - if mistaken - conclusion for a first-timer in Armagh to reach if you drive through it from Newry/Dublin and out to Portadown/Belfast, the locals in that part of town have always been enthusiastic about their flags during the summer. Most of Armagh - 69/70% at the last elections IIRC - however would not be of the unionist persuasion.

it is indeed indisuptable that Kerry will have won more this decade than Tyrone. does this make them TotD? some here, mostly from Kerry, argue it does. others like myself argue that it doesn't. others argue that it's a nonsense argument. I don't get this. there have been two outstanding teams in the last 10 years, why not discuss and debate who is the better?

re Down and cavan in the 60s, I'm not sure it's a good comparison. Armagh with all their Ulster titles this decade ahead of Tyrone wouldn't make any claim that they were better than Tyrone during the period.

i think the team of the decade argument ended on Sunday. Had Tyrone won a 4th All-Ireland, it would have been end of story, but 3 titles, admirable though they are, is not dominance of a decade. Even if they don't win this year, Kerry can now indisputably say they won the most titles in this decade, true, but they haven't dominated it either as they failed 3 times to better the other major team of the decade. It's a question of definition I suppose, if you consider it purely a title count (as the Kerry fans do) then it's Kerry's, if you consider it dominance of a decade (a more subjective concept) then it's no-one's, neither Kerry's or Tyrone's in my opinion. just like the 60s you mention and most other decades there hasn't been a team of the decade.

whatever. never mention the words 'soft all-ireland' to a kerryman. you're the greatest, this decade, every decade gone and to come. period. good luck.

no one in kerry give a sh1t about team of the decade were team of the century ffs.

ps to paraphrase 'its about the trophies stupid' not head to head one off games

Team of the century, no question, as long as you mean the 20th right? Now just be big enough to admit you couldn't get the better of Tyrone in the last 10 years, why it so shaggin difficult for you lot to concede there was one bloody team a tiny bit better than ye. You'll probably be the team of this century as well if it massages your bruised little egos a little and makes you feel better. Strewth. (Although the slapping your minors got today makes me ponder about your production line).

a back to back against the weaker opposition provided by Mayo and Cork in those years is clutching at straws IMHO, sorry.

Oh dear...
Cork weak opposition? They'd have won a bunch of all Ireland's this decade if it wasn't for Kerry and only Kerry, meaning the only team to defeat them in years has been Kerry. Oh yeah, they're in this years final if you hadn't noticed.  Your weak opposition to the now fact that Kerry is the team of the decade is what's clutching at straws, sorry.

Sir, I saw Cork 2009 today and it ain't no Cork 2006-2007

Bunch of All-Irelands this decade for Cork?? List what they would/could have won. Hint, a bunch means more than one, and you can't include this year.

Excellent day.  The beginning of the end for this Tyrone team and Armagh minors through to the final

Will that do for you Pints? Take the blinkers off.

Yiz are the Wimbledon of the GAA. Get over it.

Classy, elegant, lovely local strawberries and cream, not a happy hunting ground for the Brits. Ah 5 Sams, you can say the nicest things sometimes

[back to backs are irrelevant]

of course it is, but in terms of making a claim for this non-existent title so sought-after by Tyrone and Kerry fans, you need more than 3 out of 10. you also need to beat your major rivals at least once during the period. back to backs are irrelevant.

you might have had some argument till you cam out with that shite. The hardest thing to do, by far, is to win two AI back to back. If anything is irrelevant its Head to heads, anything can happen on the day.

Mike, I've no desire to get into a slanging match with you as you're up to your neck in bias on this point, and can't seem to argue without losing the rag.

As a neutral, I'll stand by my opinion that Kerry's abject failure to beat their major rival Tyrone three times this decade invalidates their claim to be TotD, a back to back against the weaker opposition provided by Mayo and Cork in those years is clutching at straws IMHO, sorry.

much inferior performance to the Kildare game, so many errors, but great to see an Armagh team play with such confidence in Croke Park, they were toying with Kerry at the end. who do we want in the final? You get the feeling these boys don't care who they'll play.

TotD could have gone Tyrone, really the only contender, but 3 out of 10 isn't a great return. As for Kerry, they failed to beat Tyrone three times when it counted, how can they possibly be?? There has been no TotD.

what rules Mike, what rules? (give me strength)
