At 7.05.. Its a shame linesmen cant call fouls in play that referees dont see. Clear touch on the ground.

It wasn't the only one the ref missed.

Would have been sweet to get the deserved free and victory.
Feck it though, we have to give them a win sometime.

We looked good in those highlights. We are moving the ball fast.  All in all, a very encouraging start from the team, with so many newcomers in there.

Finlays in the second half??  Finlay seemed adamant and the keeper did the obligatory double tap of the crossbar..

The one where the umpire signalled wide and the referee went in and over ruled him - in the 2nd half

Monaghan were by far the better team on the day and should have won

But sport is all about taking your chances

Monaghan didn't - while Armagh did

It was well inside the bar - even the Armagh defenders and keeper watched it go over their heads - there was no question about it.

Monaghan will be disappointed they didn't get at least a draw out of this but they have had 2 good performances now and with players to come back in, they are not in as bad a shape as some (myself included) would have thought when Banty left.

Tyrone game in summer should be interesting.

Where would we be without Stevie? When the game was slipping away he dragged us back into it.How will we replace him when he quits?

Another 2 wins should keep us up. Hopefully starting this weekend but if not Galway and Mayo games offer best chance.

Monaghan are indeed looking in decent shape, post Banty. McEneaney Nua showed better judgement in his first half tactics than POR. Swift was getting nothing from Hughes, yet he remained rooted to the spot rather than moving out a bit and taking a long range point or two as he had against the Dubs. Armagh showed a bit of spirit in the second half, but there were some terrible errors, these need to be reduced. Dyas is gradually becoming the player we hoped he could be.

Armagh has had two hard games, but the Dubs are in good shape, and Monaghan are no walkovers. We need to cut down the errors and get the runs going to give options for passes.

Not the case at all infact Armagh should have went in at ht with a five or six point lead having cleaned Monaghan out at midfield but couldn't seem to put the ball over the bar. The second half was always going to be difficult for Armagh against a strong breeze. Agree that there was far too much hand passing around crucial areas and the amount of turnover were shocking but we have to remember this is only the thrid or fourth competitive game of the year and we have a lot of time for improvements plus the cross contingent.

A few observations: Thought Dyas got through a lot of work as did MOR and Stevie. Duffy was willing to get on the ball at every attack but his ball retention was shocking yesterday. Moriarty and Vernon in my opinion are liabilites particulary on the ball. It seems Vernon will always take the wrong options ie running into 4 or 5 men instead of the easier option or trying a killer pass up the field when the simple ball will do. Against better opposition this will be punished. Moriarty seems very unflexible for want of a better phrase and can be undisciplined in the tackle as we seen yesterday a decent free tacker will punish anything within 50 -60 yards. Also a lot of unecessary free given away yesterday, saw men knocked to the ground legally only for a second or third Armagh man to come in and commit a stupid foul.

The young lad Grugan has a sweet left foot but to me he blew up and wasn't fit enough for the duration of the game. He faded in and out of the game IMO. Padden has no pace whatsoever and Brian mallon is a far better option IMO he has more pace and can finish well when through on goal. I think Mackin is a very ordinary player that will again make  alot of mistakes and take the wrong option. But all in all there are no major problems there that can't be fixed . Judging by Dublins result at the weekend Armagh are not going to badly but the retention of the ball will be crucial agaisnt down as they have a lethal forward line that will punish any silly mistakes.
I never forget a face but in your case I will make an exception.

Doesn't the stand hold 5,600? And it wasn't full.
Maybe they don't count children who get in for free?
