The most hateful shower of c***ts I've ever come across. Maybe it's recency bias but I'm actually putting them ahead of Tyrone these days on the ****ometer :D

The what-ometre?  ;D

Donegal's antics last year  did move them up  the  hateful list , I have to agree
The C U next tuesday one :D

What ever came of the investigation into the incident after the Ulster final last year?
Both teams fined a few £ I think. Was only handbags.

Well maybe.

Definitely not the team they're being made out to be if we can be as poor as we were yesterday and be a penalty and a 2 point free away from beating them.

Murnin will be 4 or 5 weeks I think reports were. Mackin, Grugan and McElroy both there yesterday but not togged, probably not a million miles away, didn't see McKay and no word of McCambridge, strange one.

Forget about the other 2 for now.

Likely not. Actually defend fairly well for a couple of minutes that time but Donegal did very well for the goal and got a bit of luck with the deflection.

McKay there togged out and took part in the warm up so hopefully not too far away.  Hasn't played football in some time so we can't expect too much off him when he does get back but important to get game time into him ahead of the championship.

I was pleasantly surprised how competitive we were yesterday considering the players we were missing and Donegal at full strength.

That said, the poor finishing and decision making is getting to be a habit now, that's three matches in a row, and that has to be getting into the players' heads. Grugan returning would help with the composure in the forward line.  He is our leader up there.  Next two matches are massive.
Keep your pecker hard and your powder dry and the world will turn.

For me Donegal and Kerry are the two best teams in Ireland atm...Donegal (who have our number for the last 15 years) beat us playing just ok away from home and have won 4 from 4 so that makes them a v good side and are the form team atm, they are beatable though but so is all the teams. Kerry when they're playing from a full deck and all fit will be the team to beat but we all know that, as for the rest...throw a blanket over about 8-10 teams who could all beat each other on any given day.

On the game yesterday, Armagh had their chances and couldn't put them away which has been the case in all the matches so far...we are missing a couple of deadly forwards, when we get all our players back fit Armagh will be hard to beat but it will need to click upfront soon for them our it'll be a quick spin to Div 2 next year. Dublin in Croke Pk will be the big one for me as I expect Mayo to beat us next week although we always seem to play decent against Mayo you'd think we'll lose out narrowly again.
Whats the odds in Kerry coming to Armagh in the last game with nothing to play for and not wanting to risk any injuries?. Off course it could go the other way and Jack O'Connor coming looking a hard game at Championship pace for their last big game to get them ready for Championship.

Looking at D1 (other 7 Counties) overall the only mathematical certainty is Monaghan can't make the Final while Donegal can't be relegated.
Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

Did it not come off Hughes' hands?

A few still to come into that a Donegal team as well.

Thought it took a deflection before Blaine got a hand to it, think Geezer said the same but maybe not.

Was very good play from Donegal either way, we'd defended well for a couple of minutes.

I saw Geezer saying that it came off a foot.  I was behind the goal and didnt notice that myself.  Blaine got a good hand to it but couldnt stop it unfortunately.  Armagh had done so well before that to keep a defensive shape.  I actually said at the time if we could turn this over or force a wide it would be huge considering the work that had been put in.  It went the other way of course and was probably the turning point of the game

Donegal did not have Daire Ó Baoill and Michael Murphy.
Grugan was certainly help, a calm head and an organiser.

MAGA Make Armagh Great Again
