This "cautious approach" you talk about is essentially the playing style of intercounty football now. Dublin and Kerry are still the heavyweights as has historically been the case and will find ways to deal with it, but just about everybody else plays the way we do. Do Armagh fans really think...

Seems to be a few people trying to convince themselves and convince others that there will be a much reduced crowd at the Ulster Final. A few in the noisy minority "I'm not going to watch that $h1te" and think they will have a band of followers joining them. The place will be packed as usual...

The last 3 times we've played Donegal 2 point win Draw 1 point loss Mostly the same players involved. There's nothing between these teams. Would anyone be surprised with a win either way or a draw? No!! It's hard to envision how a win can't be envisioned.

For anyone not sure its either group 1 which is: Westmeath Home Derry Away Galway/Mayo Neutral In that order Or it's group 3 which is: Tyrone Home Cork Away Probably Clare Neutral In that order Group 3 if we win Ulster, Group 1 if we don't.

In the interest of fairness they also scored a goal following a brutal refereeing decision against Aaron McKay and got a point from another bad decision when Duffy was incorrectly blown up for lifting the ball off the ground.

I'm with you Joe, it's mostly nostalgia on how great people thought football was - "football was much better in my day" I recently watched Armagh v Meath 1999 (my day) All-Ireland Semi Final. Good lord, it was horrendous. Even Meath who were one of the best teams in Ireland during that era had...

Yes definitely. Last year the Ulster Final season tickets were for the Pat McGrane stand, as were the Ulster Semi Final tickets vs Down. Not sure if that will be different this year as season tickets for Saturday past were in the Gerry Arthur stand.

Exactly right. - Those who are just happy to trundle along and get out of the house for the day - Those who actually enjoy the chess match element of the modern game - Those who think 1970-1990s football would still work against a mass defence etc etc. Those that cannot see an opposition on...

Ulster GAA now considering progressing Derry through to the ulster semi-final on the basis that they scored 17 points and Donegal had to rely on 4 goals for the win. More news as we get it.

Probably not enough of a crowd expected for there to be any need to do it on this occasion.

Very daft indeed

Saw that yeah. Heard he had a broken hip

You have remembered correctly

Exactly right Peter grimes and armaghtimmy. I have some sympathy with the view as well that a team who constantly scores a high volume of points is likely to be better placed than one who scores low points and relies on goals to keep them in it. I just don't think the recent evidence backs up...

Is this really where we are now? Delegitimising wins because we scored 1 goal and had to make a save to prevent a goal?? It's a 70 minute match with 2 teams trying to do these things. Without our goal we still beat Cavan on points. The Galway match doesn't prove your point which was "We keep...
