Ulster Senior football championship 2024

Armagh would appear to be surprised that Down can and will crunch them in the tackle.

Ref seems to prefer Down's tackling style.

Awful boring game that highlights just how wrong it is that our game rewards teams for playing keep ball.

Football is fucked.

Down going down the Red Star Belgrade route. Armagh look annoyed, might spark this shit show into life

[J70]

Absolute scutter and the ref is useless.

Ref has been horrible but Armagh have been shite so far!

Can't blame the ref for this shite

He made the wrong call with the free in front of the benches before the goal (it wasn't easy to see the Armagh player had got the ball, from his angle, before hitting the Down player in the back),  but yeah, the teams need to look at themselves.

Ref v poor
Down adopting kilcoo diving tactics with throwing arm up
Havern awful free kick style
Armagh woeful

[ONeill]

Looked like McGeeney was telling the ref that the scuffle is his fault. Few choice words there.

[Milltown Row2]

So you said yourself it wasn't easy to see. That's all you have to say.

There was 2 points in this game at 21 minutes or more.

Pure puke

[Captain Obvious]

Down a lot harder to break down than Fermanagh was. Poor match 2nd half can only improve.

[tyrone08]

Rian stil cant tackle.

Quick thought,  does the team who fouls and hurts a player benefit under the new rules as in the player who was hurt has to go off for treatment and their team are down 1 player in the interim?

Have said this a few times, there's no benefit to the team that loses a player in that moment and it will mean more players will get up and play on without treatment when they need it

Spot on. A player does a hard challenge and picks up a yellow while the opposition goes down to 14 men for a few minutes. Almost worth a few yellows towards the end of a game

Free was for Doherty being emptied on the sideline by 3rd man in when nowhere near the ball.

If that's the case, I stand corrected.

Anyone thinks football doesn't need rule changes after watching that shite needs their head looked at!

Absolute negative crap!

Change it to what though? They've been changing it for years.

[Blowitupref]

45 minutes played Armagh 0-8 Down 1-4.

Real scrappy goal for Down but won't care, 2-4 to 0-8

[Mourne Red]

Jesus 2-3 business days to give that goal

[Ed Ricketts]

Surely the Down 11 rugby tackling the Armagh full back over the goal line should have invalidated that goal?
