All Ireland Championship 2025.

[gallsman]

Decent first half. Best of the weekend so far.

Armagh forcing things too much, Rian in particular.

[straightred]

Armagh 1 up at the break but not playing well at all

[OakLeaf]

Decent first half. Best of the weekend so far.

Armagh forcing things too much, Rian in particular.

Definitely. He's taking on fairly low percentage kicks too much.

Armagh not playing well so far

I've asked a group about this. Are Armagh a little flat / conservative, or are they game managing it to blow Kerry away.

I don't know. And I'm not sure it's possible to lull Kerry into a false sense of security. They're always smarter than that.

Should be a hell of a second half.

That was a warm up bout.

[Blowitupref]

Half time Kerry 0-13 Armagh 1-11

[bennydorano]

Armagh have been utter garbage and go in 1pt up, we'll take that.

[trileacman]

Same thing again there with the keep-ball tactics before halftime. When you've Enda McGinley rattling on about control and game-management you know you've the wrong rules in place.

I know there was instances of keep-ball before and the hooter came in but it's now established practice across all levels to kill time.

[Captain Obvious]

Armagh a long way off what they are capable of however are leading at half time.  Need a different marker on Sean O'Shea 2nd half.

You're like a man swimming in clear blue, beautiful waters, on a sunny day on an uncrowded beach, surrounded by friends and family, complaining that some other family - keeping their distance - happens to be there.

You're upset but you don't know why.

I know, absolute fuckaboutery

Casey staying 5m away from the big arc for Ryan's kickout, mad Ted

Very enjoyable game so far.

Paudi h/t? Or 5 / 10mins in?

[Onthe40]

I think Kerry have a few too many passengers offering v little that Armagh should exploit 2nd half

Sean O'Shea only other fwd stepping up with Clifford as expected being well shackled  .. been unreal

[trileacman]

Armagh have been utter garbage and go in 1pt up, we'll take that.

Armagh have an excellent press, defence and running game. It's their ridiculous passing strategy which is letting them down, Grugan, Rian guilty of some stupid kicks. They've scored 10/16 attempts, keep the ball, you're better than this Kerry defence.

I mean keep the ball. A Kerry team without Paudie, Tom o Sullivan, the 2 MFs aren't going to win the ball back off you.

[CK_Redhand]

Was there an Armagh breach of the 3 back rule just before the last score of the half there? Kerry players seemed to be complaining at the half way line

What the f**k are you on about?

[thebigfullforward]

Kerry need to get stuck in more. There was times there a hit was on but they didn't go for it, just stood off. If they throw a few shoulders into someones back they should get away with it. Refs seem to be letting that go
