Congratulations to the neighbours, you need to capitalize when a chance like this arises and they've done so. Any begrudgery about standard of the team, the championship in general, the sport, it really doesn't matter for the next few days to anyone in Armagh.

Quote from: Hound on July 28, 2024, 06:13:47 PMSome amount of spite from Mayo and Tyrone posters! (not all)

A defining moment of the championship this year was immediately after the Dublin-Mayo Armagh-Galway group games. Mayo and Galway both missed out on topping their groups in almost identical circumstances with last second points be the oppposition. Galway wipe themselves down and get on with it. Mayo management, player and fans all despondent say it's impossible to progress playing 3 games in 3 weeks! Then after a super performance v Dublin they play horrendously v Derry, and still nearly won. I've no doubt they would have beaten Derry and Kerry with a proper attitude and who knows what happens after that.

And some Tyrone posters have embarrassed themselves. Long may those lads dwell in Armagh's glory!

The best two teams this year in the final and it was an enthralling affair. Loved the game. Hard luck Galway, my learning would be you're not actually reliant on Walsh and Comer as I thought you were. If they are not 100% fit, then the next lad in is good enough to be the better option. You do have strength in depth.

But almighty congrats to Armagh. Some absolute wonder scores kicked today. Jarlaith deserved this. Geezer deserved this. Enjoy!!

wtf? Someone must have been having a gargle the day.

Delighted for mcgeeney. He has had to swallow some muck over the past few years from a lot of fans, so good his efforts have paid off.

That's 4 different winners in 5 years, so the allireand has certainly opened up again.

Wrong to discount two all Ireland finalists for next year. Both teams have shown good resilience through the year to get to where they got. A lot of teams don't have that resolve.

Who got man of the match?

Very true. Tyrone took their chance when it arose in 2021. Armagh had to do so as well today , And they did, so fair play.

The likes of Dublin and Kerry Know they will be back again. For some others it could be a once in a lifetime chance

Well done to Armagh. Tiny margins.

Soupy as the impact sub par excellence.

Isnt man of the match given out at the banquet live on Sunday game?

Very hard to pick, I'd go for Conaty?

POTY for me is Rian O'Neill

Well done Armagh, hard luck Galway.
Was a tense one but the Goal a major major score in a low scoring game like that.
Thought Galway stuck too much to "The plan" in the closing stages when maybe a bit of off the cuff madness might have caused Armagh problems.
Always nice to see a little County win Sam.

AustinPowers · July 28, 2024, 08:57:40 PM

No real standout MOTM for me

McKay, Grimley, Crealey, Conaty, Conroy, Galway no 11 All had their moments

Walsh had a sideline kick in round the 21 in the last 5minutes when Galway were 1 point down in an All Ireland final.
He kicked it back to midfield.
Modern Gaelic Football is absolute madness.

No words lads. Speak Thursday. Just enjoy it all

Tbf to Armagh they went for it a couple of times at the end. That chance where they hit the post and the Campbell chance were ones they could have really slowed it down for. Honestly disappointed in Galway today in that they didn't go for it at times.

Haven't seen it again but I'm fairly sure that sideline was about halfway between the 13 and the end line. If he went for it, given what he'd been like all day, everyone would be up in arms over it.

He missed two normal gimmies for his standard. Would have been criminal had he went for it.

They lost it on not working the score or generating a free in those last few minutes.

Armagh snuffed them out at the end and that's definitely down to winning close games and learning from not winning close games ( if that makes sense lol )
