Ulster Championship 2025

The other team was excellent, young Red, no doubt - but the errors I'm thinking of were individual misjudgements, albeit probably brought about by the pressure of the situation. Unforced errors, as Dan Maskell used to say at Wimbledon.

Some people think that even the manager made an unforced error. Not sure that I agree.

hmmm, if youre referring to a particular substitution I would disagree with you

Armagh biggest problem is they didn't handle Murphy. Who didn't play the year before. Unless they find a player to mark him i take Donegal to beat Armagh again if they met.

Yes I agree but by the same token I'm not sure Murphy could be quite as influential on the future occasion. He was outstanding last weekend. I still think he's the best player of the last 15 or so years.

Perhaps if McKay returns that would be a help in that regard?

Is it correct that they can't meet until final ?
If so fancy Galway to beat Donegal
Armagh getting mc Kay and Rian back fit would assist them greatly

Absolutely.

Aye is that true that they can't meet until final or does repeat pairings from group take precedence.

Mightnt be possible to avoid each other if 3 from the one group make the semis.

Bring back Francie Bellew.

I don't think that's the case - if possible repeat pairings from provincial final and group stages will be avoided, but it will depend on who progresses.

I also think people are getting a bit carried away here, there seems to be a narrative that these are the best two teams in the country and they'll surely meet again in the final - they're definitely up there in the top 6, but to my mind there's nothing between any of them and I'd suggest it's unlikely that we'll see them meet again in championship this year. In particular I was disappointed by Donegal who I thought were fortunate to sneak the win and haven't really evolved to the extent they needed to from last year - there might be a case that they've regressed? Mchugh, Mogan and Langan haven't been as instrumental this year to date and you'd wonder has Jim really figured out what's needed for success with these rules?
In any case, there are some great games to look forward to over the next month, bring them in!!

I don't believe either of them are in the top 2. Dublin, Kerry and Galway are ahead of them in my view and Tyrone have better players than both.

You think Tyrone have better players than who? Donegal and Armagh? You're mad in the head lol

[imtommygunn]

Why would you have Dublin above them? I understand the other two and I wouldn't be sure on Tyrone having better players than both - in fact currently I don't think that's true.
