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

This is very very true.

Still monotonous to watch.

cant see monaghan beat them but they'll put up a better fight

[Wildweasel74]

He kicked one!!!

[Wildweasel74]

We gonna see a team hit the 40 mark here?

[Wildweasel74]

Down give up 10mins into the 2nd half but Armagh way stronger team. Maybe abit glad watching this that we out now.

[thewobbler]

Won't someone think of the umpires??

Me too. He was absolutely exceptional.

Or Joe McElroy.

[Blowitupref]

Very impressive stuff by Armagh regardless of how poor Down was. FT Armagh 3-33 Down 0-14

Jarly for me too.

He even kicked a point !!

Was also very surprised Jarly Og Burns didn't get MOTM

You would hope they would put up a better fight than that.

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

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

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

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.

The Kerry zonal screen that Donegal cut apart in the league final? That zonal screen?

[Captain Obvious]

A surprise to have such a comfortable win. Probably learnt from the Fermanagh game not to have a poor last 20 minutes. Better to win a semi final in extra time with the last kick or win by nearly 30 points?

A penny for the thoughts of Jim McGuinness and his players watching Down today.
