Amazing how quickly he played also; TV cameras nearly missed the winning putt

Disappointed in Armagh; Galway no 5 is a top player

Can someone post pics of what the jerseys will be like?

Dublin unlucky, but that's football; blame their shooting, not the officials
#5
Kerry forward pulled out of that, would have been straight through with a bit of courage

Great heart from Wicklow; once they pitched in a few early scores in the 2nd half Down started to panic. No complaints. yoyoing between div 2 and 3 and tailteann cup is our level. Really hope Wicklow can kick on from this

Utter collapse; most humiliating defeat we've ever suffered. Time for new management

France and Spain are the 2 best sides, but are on the other half of the draw, and have tough games vs Portugal and Morocco, So England only have to beat one of them, and a one-off game can go either way. Bet England at 7-1 at start of tournament, as an emotional hedge

Quote from: Armagh18 on June 30, 2026, 12:05:10 PMEvans the better block in terms of how difficult it was and the aesthetics of it in slow motion, Gormleys obviously the bigger moment and more important.

Evans blocked the ball. Gormley hit the players leg as he was kicking it, so it should have been a 14m free, although this would not have affected the outcome as that passage of play led to a free anyhow. 
Did Gormley even get the monument in Tyrone as Martin Carney proposed?

For the avoidance of doubt. https://www.tiktok.com/@aroundthepanel/video/7530008818839735574

Conor Gormleys right hand strikes the ball. Yes the angle of his run and dive to get to it follows through but I see no real issue with that. No free and a great block.
More important than Gormley's block was the dive to get Marsden sent off; a Sam Maguire winning dive.

Brilliant penalty save by the Moroccan keeper; didn't dive, just stepped well across to his right before penalty was taken, so it was straight at him. I've never seen that before

Penalty and black card was excessive; Galway had their chances tho, 6 pts up and cruising, once the dubs got a few scores back you could see them combusting
#12
Surprised at Tyrone not trying for a 2-pointer at the end; left them dependent on getting possession from the kick-out

Amazing performance again; his ability to pick out the right pass is outstanding, Maybe the better teams will be able to man-mark him more effectively, and essentially they are defending with ten men only.

Quote from: illdecide on June 22, 2026, 09:02:57 AMSorry guys but haven't time to read back thru 30 pages of messages so just giving a quick recap on Kerry v Armagh. It didn't go as I expected, Kerry blew us out of the water (Again) and were fully deserved winners. Armagh were awful form 1 -15 and got what they deserved, defence were shocking bad (how B McCambridge can't get on in that defence is shocking) Midfield is non existing and the forward line playing across the way back and forth whilst Kerry just take the ball and in 2 passes it's in the net or over the bar. I said last week if Kerry push up on Armagh and make them kick it long then they'd be in trouble and that's what Kerry done (Don't mention it Jack).
Anyway...all the best to Kerry for the remainder of the Championship and bar Galway I can't see anyone else beating them, one slight complaint is the stand in Killarney was brutal and so uncomfortable to sit on, the only one worse I can remember is Cusack Park, Mullingar.
Season is over for us but whoever you follow may the luck follow you to the end (except Tyrone, only joking my friendly neighbours)

Thought Armagh were competitive in the first half, perhaps even the better team. Some inexplicably bad shooting and then that calamitous goal led to the collapse. But disappointed they didn't put up more of a fight

Donegal looked tired from early in 2nd half
