Did anyone enjoy the league?
The two relegated teams say it doesn't matter we can rebuild next year.
The two finalists get to say it is only the league, good to get a game in Croke Park, we are preparing for championship whatever the result.
And the other 4 get to hang about to play the big boys next year in a bunch of games they may or may not care about depending on how they are going.

It was obvious from where I was at, that the contact on the keeper has forced him bck a step. I thought it should been a free out. Ref didn't even check with the umpires

Yeah would need to watch that again, if any tackle with keeper in the box it's a free normally, grand if a player arrives into box and punches ball and then contact, but would need to see that again

Didn't see it myself but I read that the keeer had already turned back over the line before the Armagh player hit him. Dunno how true that is tho

Very harsh decision on McGuigan. Was barely even a shoulder. I think we were probably getting beat anyway given how easy Armagh ran through the middle of us before the red card but you never know how the game would have panned out .
Soft enough but sure he had been booked already, silly from him.

Justice anyway for that bite in the Ulster final lol.

Yeah McCabe looked to be the worst offender in it.

But if Gough employed common sense he'd have told them to wise up, was 20 points in it at that stage.

 In the last 11 months or so Donegal and Armagh twice have absolutely destroyed Derry with a blaze of goals. If Derry don't get the finger out Donegal will do the same again in a few weeks. Bound to take its toll psychologically on Derry.

One would certainly fear for Derry.

If Donegal didn't have a critical championship game one week after a potential league final, then you can bet that the team would be going all out for it. A county like Donegal has won so little that any chance to compete for a national title would be a big deal.

I think it'd ridiculous how "look how they celebrated winning the league" is used as some kind of insult. There are only 3 trophys that an intercounty team can win in any year (sorry Dr McKenna) and the idea that you shouldn't be happy if you win one of them is madness.

It's a preparation for the championship... sin é. Was much more enjoyable than the sh*te we've watched for the last number of years and whets the appetite for the rest of the season. Nice to win it but ultimately the championship is how counties be judged.

Two birds with one stone for Armagh in this league campaign, objective of staying up achieved and played part in relegating Tyrone to Division 2.

I can assure Tyrone folk don't give a sh*te bout relegation. Is a bigger picture.
Ps... short memory of support Armagh got from this side of the Blackwater in last year's All Ireland...

Niall Morgan brilliant goalie but someday he going to injury somebody with the way he leads with the knee out.  Very dangerous.

Quote from: LarryStiles on March 24, 2025, 01:41:16 PMPlay the league final in Limerick.  Be lucky to get 10k on Croke Park. Mayo playing championship the following  Sunday. With mayo resting lads will be easy game for kerry.⁶

I was thinking: play it in Galway.  Play the hurling final in Limerick.

Why does everything seem to revolve around Dublin?  Is the GAA 32 counties or is it Dublin and 31 other counties?

Limerick would be more halfway.

:D  you wish... you do know last two All Ireland winners were in Div 2? Congrats on 2nd All Ireland! Last two league winners.. Derry & Mayo lol!... as much as you hope otherwise, no-one here gives a fuc. Team is improving with championship near that's priority... I'd be more worried if our best player had walked ; )

Tyrone relegated.

Meh.

Good chance to blood in the youth coming in. Probably going to lose another few lads at the end of this year so the team will be even more green going into next year.
