That Omagh pitch is a disgrace!

That Derry effort was a bigger disgrace. Slow, sideways play and refusing to have a go.
Another mutiny against the Tyrone manager on the way?

[Gael85]

Would fancy Mayo to win tonight looking at the two line outs but with the new rules it's a lottery giving a firm prediction.

Mayo after a poor start ahead by 2  at half time.  Should win this well. Dublin are poor and bench very weak. Will be under pressure with playing Donegal and kerry away.

I thought the opposite to be honest. Instead of playing slower and more controlled in attack we rushed everything first half and usually got turned over. Tyrone played more controlled, got Morgan up and passed it about.

Thought we did well to swing the momentum second half before the goal. The hop ball decision was a big turning point in the game. I thought it was a free in

Playing a double header in January was the main issue for the pitch,tonight !

[screenexile]

The 40 yard line looks a bit more achievable in Croke Park than it did in Omagh!

[trileacman]

Really grates me having the people who made the rules cheerleading for them as a co-commentator. At one point Fitzmaurice criticised the Armagh/Galway managers for not sending their teams out to play attacking football under the new rules. I thought that was his f**king job.

Solo and Go has basically taken away a free kick Being kicked forward. Don't think there was one non scoreable free kick kicked in Tyrone v Derry.

Thought that myself. A few times i thought the player was tackled before the required 4 meters

10 minutes to play.  Mayo 1-13  Dublin 1-15.  Result Mayo  1-15  Dublin  1-17

I did like some of the new rules.

It took a while for players to realise there is a wee bit more room in the packed defence, and some just went for it. That Tyrone goal was preceded by 2 similar runs. I think you'll see more of those slalom runs through the middle.

The 3 up front wasn't really used as much as I thought it would be. All 6 defenders on the Healy pitch were very tight and it was good to see that skill again. The midfield battles were good to watch too.

Bugler and Kilkenny stepped up in second half. Didn't expect to get winn so delighted to get the two points.

Rhubarbs missing chances in the second half.
Good to see tradition being maintained🙄

Saw bits and pieces of Tyrone game some outstanding stuff from Morgan including an eye of the needle pass resulting in the second goal. Lynch done well under a couple of high balls, but the bringing him over half way is going kill Derry further down the road as he won't have the ability to get back. A number of Derry players seemed refuse shots at goal and recycle the ball, the pitch was awful(as usual) and granted difficult conditions.

Galway 1-12 Armagh 0-9 cagey affair that won't live long in the memory

Poor enough show from Armagh didn't think Galway had to be anywhere near their best to win.Started the game well and led 5-1 but that was indicative of how poor they where after that only registering 4 points after. To begin with Conaty was very dangerous up front and done really well on kickouts. First time Armagh where sloppy on the ball and got countered on resulted in the goal which ultimately shifted the momentum.Thought Forker was caught out badly with the ball in behind for penalty which Tierney despatched well.

On games so far:
Two man throw-in great
The solo and go is great
The longer kick out and no back to goalie great
Only 11 up is great - but by God Galway and Armagh still struggled to find space for much of the game, but in harsh Salthill conditions in fairness
Two points from beyond arc should only be from play or a free. Having two point kickers was the winning of the game for Galway
The 21 yard free for 3 man infraction - on the fence, I'd make it 40
Timekeeping/countdown - on the fence but leaning towards it. Takes away a bit of the charm and Americanises.
Overall it was January football and there were some high scoring games.

Was it just me or was Connor Lane interacting with alot of players other than the nominated spokesperson/captain?
