Quote from: Blowitupref on July 21, 2026, 01:42:37 AMKieran McGeeney to remain as Armagh manager. Unanimous support from clubs, will be his 13th year in charge in 2027.

2027 will be his 38th consecutive season to be involved in senior Inter-county football:

• 18 as an Armagh player.
• 6 as Kildare manager.
• 1 as Armagh coach (2014 when he also had an involvement with the Tipperary senior hurlers).
• 13 as Armagh manager.

Overtrained (too many injuries to key players for it to be related to chance) and overcoached (Galway haven't put a team to bed in years. They always leave the door open rather than going for the kill).

If you believe the rumours going around the squad members had a vote this week and voted overwhelmingly for a change in management.

If true at that point his position is untenable unfortunately. Big fan of Joyce- always comes across as a decent fella but if the belief isn't there from players it will be very difficult to turn around

I wouldn't.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Might have won it without any rule changes as that allowed to cover their biggest weakness which is defending especially one on one defending which happens more often the last two years than before.

Other excuses such as overtrained,overcoached or too cautious is nonsense in my opinion.

They were absolutely over cautious at times in my opinion. Forget the stat exactly but the time taken to get shots away in the 2024 final had Galway taking far longer than us which cost them.

Most if not all of the teams in the old rules was like that.  Programmed when and where to shoot from, Jim Gavins Dublin had it down to a fine art.
