A strange game. Tyrone playing above thier league form, Armagh way below.

Neither side's forwards will remember this game with any fondness bar Mattie Id say.

Ref wasn't great. Gave Armagh a lot of soft score able frees and seemed to miss the several yards O'Neill stole to hit his 2 pointer. Would also like to see replay of Armagh goal as from behind goals it looked a square ball.

Big problem for Tyrone is continued lack of being able to win own ko (bar the short sideline one that both Armagh amd Tyrone seemed happy to concede.

In 2nd half of ET Armagh won 4 Tyorne ko in a row. Thats not good enough. Even the final ball.... needed to be won...wasn't.

Also... going by the 70min game, these new rules are very much emperor's new clothes...

Win KO, then spend 1-2 min playing ball around an arc against a mass defence. Someone tell me how this is anything new or indeed exciting.

Was telling Tyrone didn't put any fast ball into the 3 forwards from turnovers...

It's not.

But Kerry aRe All Ireland champions, so  therefore the  new rules have saved the game. Apparently  ::)

Can happen to any team on any given day, that's the lottery of the longer kickouts. Teams will win and lose with the ball ricocheting all over the show, some kindly, some not so,it's like trying to catch a rugby ball once it bounces 🤞

I would stay clear of watching Donegal....they found the exciting football antidote, didn't take them long

At least Armagh got over their likeness for slow starts. Stumbling over the line will do us no harm.

Jaysus even Peter Canavan said McMullen shouldnt have been sent off!

When O'Neill kicked the 2pter, he was 5m by where the free was. Very slack the ref, didnt mark the line.for the free.

Was very quick to mark Donnelly's kick near the end of the game on the sideline. Was very inconsistent and both teams will have complaints.

Linesman should have spotted that

Why would Canavan know any better than the ref or any regular Joe who knows the rules? That 2nd yellow was an easy call

A poor enough quality game which Armagh deservedly just about won.  In fact I think the manner of the win will stand them in good stead.  The first 1pt game Armagh have won this year and possibly the first since the 2024 all Ireland

Apart from that very few positives.  Worrying that Murnin and McCambrdidge didnt see any action when extra time seemed set up for them.  Must not be as close to a return as was thought

Refereeing very poor all round.  I understand the second half lasted 44 minutes of real time which shows how whistle happy he was.  Red card was a joke and some of things he missed were unforgivable.

Tyrone very good defensively but kicked themselves out of with a number of poor misses.  Long lay off now with Tyrone guaranteed to meet a provincial finalist in their next game
