Armagh v Donegal USFC 14/06/2015

[Aaron Boone]

Murphy's free taking a real joy.

That side to side hand passing is a load of shite. Donegal f**king about nearly results in Armagh goal

[twohands!!!]

Two hands, I am a fan of stats in their place, but if you think the difference in this game has anything to do with frees conceded or that it's even relevant as a key stat I'm afraid you have the wrong end of the stick completely.

A key fact of the game is how good the Donegal defence has been in the tackle, especially when you consider how much Armagh have run at their defence.

It's obviously not the only factor ; Donegal had to do the business at the other end but it really shows how well the Donegal team have defended - Armagh have only scored 0-7 after 60 minutes

At the moment the free count is Armagh conceded 22 Donegal 10

Donegal have reaped 5 points from frees while Armagh have only reaped 2, so it's obviously not had a massive impact on the scoreboard but if Donegal had only scored 2 points from frees while Armagh had scored 5 it would currently be a 2 point game....

[Pub Bore]

Only 2 scores for Donegal so far in 2nd half

Yeah but they have won the Piggy in the middle contest!

Donegal didn't have to score. For a while there it was a bit like the Cross / Dromintee C'ship match from last year.

[INDIANA]

There should be no objection to the elimination of the Ulster Championship and the provincial series in general after the last two weeks rubbish

[Fuzzman]

Another cut and paste post Indi?
Are you excited about meeting Donegal this year again?

[Captain Scarlet]

As a Kildare man who is still hearing half our county talk of Geezer in reverential tones that Armagh performance was very familiar.
There is no in-game tactical changes. I mean sitting back and playing a mass defense when you need the ball. Donegal were well entitled to keep the ball.
On a positive note Murphy is a joy to watch.

Shocking, shocking stuff from Armagh there. I thought we barely got out of second gear at times, but then we didn't have to. We really could have won that by 20 points if we'd wanted just by committing a few more players forward, especially in the first half when McBrearty was winning everything, but ending up very isolated and in need of a someone running through in space to lay it off too. Monstrous game from Michael Murphy, repeatedly powering through several Armagh men in the middle of the field, dictating the play and hitting some quality frees. McBrearty looked very impressive too, as did MacNiallais and Ryan McHugh. The McGees were barely mentioned all game, which was telling about how things were going!

Nice to get a good win in Armagh, but we were barely tested.

[Shamrock Shore]

Ourselves and Armagh to play in the 'worst performance of Championship 2015' final

Are you excited about your annual run through the qualifiers?

[Harold Disgracey]

Just in from the game, that was atrocious. No discernible game plan from Armagh, no passion from the majority of the team as well. Thought Coldrick was terrible.

Genuine question to Armagh people?
Apart from hype, over training and a massive expenses bill, What exactly does Kieran McGeeney bring to a county?

[T Fearon]

Don't know is the answer.Dire performance altogether,no plan,no leadership,playing one forward against at least three Donegal defenders,passing sloppy etc.Big gamble playing Campbell who has been absent all year,and Donegal were never going to repeat the mistake of conceding territory like they did in AI Quarter Final last year.
