All very good.
As usual, the 2 O'Neills are special.
Looking forward to the Dubs, Kerry etc next year.

I feel I should praise Hughes a bit more considering I was highly critical of him but he did everything that could be asked of him.

Would love to know why Forker got a yellow card

Grugan in the first 15 minutes was getting swarmed like flies to sh*t but adapted and started getting more ball.

Campbell must have switched with Forker a few times so a sub didn't have to be made until late on.

Jemar Hall played very well indeed. Before the match started I would have taken him off and brought him on a sub. I was wrong, he contributed with a few nice points especially when restoring the three point lead at the end of the first half.

Rian O'Neill had a bad opening quarter think he had 2 or 3 missed. After the first water break and probably a quick chat with Donaghy he grabbed the ball and rifled it over the bar and the team started to grow in confidence which shows how important it is for him to be consistent. Find it a bit odd how Oisin the other week and Rian this week have made 50 odd meter scores look ordinary and nobody mentions them.

Oisin O'Neill has probably been our most consistent player its like Stevie and Clarke again.

Murnin was a little off pace which is understandable considering he hasn't had much game time. But he is a terrier with the ball, there was a point in the first half he couldn't control the ball but still managed to keep it.

Finn is really staking a claim to his defensive spot with his last two performances - not a bad defender and will hopefully get better.


The team paced themselves really well throughout that game and if we copped on to this a bit earlier we probably could have been sitting pretty at the top of the division. We are starting to get some consistency in our play and even when things are not going right the team realise they have the power to change how they perform.

Looking at the gaa go coverage and it seams that there is a lot more than 500 at the match. As a loyal fan that has travelled up and down the country for many year and also a season ticket holder. It really hurts to see so many there. Hopefully the loyal supporters are awarded come championship time..
I was there and made a comment was easy 1000

I totally agree with you. I also saw a few on their mobiles as opposed to watching the match, maybe just unlucky timing on their part but there are so many of us at home who'd have loved to be there it just felt like a bit of a kick in the teeth. :(

1-10 to 0-7

Armagh not doing anything spectacular
This is it. This is exactly it.

We were not way above our base level. Our base level has gone up.

Roscommon are a great barometer of our progress. We have played them in key games in recent years. They have beaten us and deserved to beat us. Today we were not a beagle’s gowl of double scores in a key game.

forget about what Kerry and Dublin could do to us. For now this is what we can do to the rest.

and let’s not have any talking up of Antrim. This is now about beating Monaghan. Park the inferiority complex at McAnerneys

Poor start but hammered them after the first 20 mins 1-16 to 0-06. Good to match them physically in the back line - tackling and discipline was much better overall (still one or 2 individuals poor in the tackle though!)
Big players really stood up when needed and the work rate was brilliant.
And... would you have thought it @ragingbull - my man finally got a run! Looks in good shape (all those shuttle runs on the sidelines really paying off).
Next goal - nothing sloppy vs Antrim and a showdown with the Banty's boys for an Ulster Final shot!!
Congrats Kieran, Kieran, Ciaran and team.
