Armagh style is hard watch. The short kickout and slow buildup is a real buzz killer.

Then score the hard one! Down defence is awful, theres not too many 2pters going over, so they running up alot of single scores against them.

And if teams (like Down) refuse to press their kickouts, then they're absolutely entitled to do this.

3rd goal for Armagh all too easy for them.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Funny old game. Armagh try desperately for Ulster title since 2008 to have a fairly easy run and likely win.

Now they just need to beat Monaghan to get one closer to Tyrones Ulster record. A title takes them to 15 [Tyrone have 16].

A load of runners and a kick out plan worked to death in training. There's not a whole pile of skill to it.

Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

This is rough. It will really knock the stuffing out down.

Entirely predictable. Was always going to be difficult for Down to follow up last week but this has been utterly dominant from Armagh. Likes of Turbitt have been off
it for a while but are really getting back into the swing of things. Bigger tests lie ahead obviously but they'll be there or thereabouts for sure.

Harsh on Down to end up in Tailteann after such a magnificent win last week but thems the breaks. Big job on Laverty's hands to pick them up from today.

I do think they might ban the handpass over the bar after this game.

It shouldn't be that easy to score.

If down defended better it wouldn't be that easy to score

Do what Kerry do and set a zonal screen across the halfway line and the opposition 45, and attack every kickout with fury, and it takes some stones for any keeper to believe it's worth pursuing.
