Poor game in normal time.
Extra time was better, but wasn't great quality on display from either side apart from a few individuals.

Kilpatrick and donnelly for tyrone.
Oneill for armagh.

He's been poor both ways. He's handed Armagh at least 5 frees they didn't deserve but on the other side it's never a red card for McMullen.

Letter of the law it was a yellow for high challenge. Over the game ref 100% benefited Armagh.

Morgan always 50/50 with the crucial 45's. Has been that way for a decade. "Drifted wide" is the phrase to describe them.

Quote from: Tribesmen on April 12, 2026, 06:49:20 PMThat 20 minutes extra time was miles better than the first 70 minutes. Tyrone unlucky there at the end. But again, the hooter has to go. The end of games are becoming farcical now. You just knew when Morgan missed that free that Tyrone wouldn't have enough time to get a shot off even if they won the kickout. It ruins the excitement


+1...keeper rightly takes 25+ secs leaving no time to respond

Neck tackle is yellow, easiest call all day

Gave Armagh Jarly Burns in particular some handy frees

Nothing between the two teams. I think that will leave Tyrone with a bit of a silver lining. Wasn't great football, but great to see a bit of passion again in the Tyrone Jersey. Plenty of talk about the Armagh bench. But Tyrone had to draw deep into theirs as well with mixed results. Losing Kennedy & Canavan two big blows.
Happier after getting bate than before the game which is weird!

Can't believe McElholm didn't go for the percentage play there. Saw the headlines. Poor decision. Very surprised Morgan didn't nail the '45 too, but Tyrone had a poor enough day in front of the posts in general and perplexingly failed to capitalise on their extra man, which seemed a gift for their more methodical attacking play.

Armagh have a tendency to make heavy weather of things, no matter the opponent - they made better use of the ball when they had it though, and were deserved winners overall.

And that folks is why geezer comes out slating refs every week. They will bow down to him and put in performances like today. Truly shocking. Well done Armagh but my god you fairly needed the ref to bail you out.

Armagh won't be winning any all Ireland this year. Will be lucky to win ulster.  Will depend on Donegal ambitions.

Tyrone did well defensively more than anything. Donnelly showed his is far from finished - great game from him. McCurry looked quite predictable and unable to make space so he is maybe more of a sub now. Kilpatrick really stood up too.

Armagh probably a bit better but will be disappointed by performance. Still saved Grugan, murnin etc so have a bit more in the tank.

McGeary was a loss too

Kilpatrick showed up but he always has one or two massive brain farts in him. Need to see it back but think it was him who went for one off the outside of his right boot from out on the left.

Sure he did 🙄

He went off his left on the left side did he not, I remember Eoin taking one off the outside in kind of the center, slightly left
