Depressing day all round. Great weather, great support and great expectations. But it all came to nothing , yes nothing as we were bullied, chased, out run, out thought ( both on and off the field)and outplayed for the vast majority of the game. It felt like Brewster park 2018 all over again...

Who are these coaches that aren’t good enough ???

Having said all that the pain I felt and will feel is nothing to what the family of Brendan Og Duffy and the Monaghan team and supporters feel at his tragic loss. Puts everything in perspective . Ar dhéis Dé go raibh a anam

Hard to know where to start. A few things first though . Ulster council have a few questions to answer. The stewarding was appalling. People were not shown to their allotted sections hence the 2 to 3 thousand on the terrace side giving those and there are plenty , a big stick to beat us with ...

This year could have been a good time to experiment with a Kerry style championship. Allowing teams to amalgamate and compete in a senior championship format giving players a sample of football at a higher level would have been a good insight into how this might improve the standard . One of...

I am not having a go at you , one of two . At the end of the day you are entitled to your opinion . It’s been a disappointing day .

I normally don’t get involved in this argument but to say the academy is a shambles and jobs for the boys is an insult to the many many coaches who I work with who by the way are not nor never were county players but they are honest good hard working coaches who do it for the love of their...

Brendan Donaghy was named at centre half against Roscommon. Also named on the initial team were so to Aaron McKay and jemar hall. Brendan didn’t start nor was he brought on jemar and Aaron were both brought As they didn’t start. In the four matches McGeeney has used nearly all his 26 match...

Very disappointed today. Second and if possible third fiddle in a game that apart from the first five to ten mins we were destroyed. I really believed we cud put it up to them. Didn’t and looked every bit of a team on the end of a 12 point defeat. The problems in Armagh football were cruelly...

Can’t understand why Brendan Donaghy isn’t centre half. Fit and flying but hasn’t got a look in. Named at centre half for the Roscommon game but wasn’t even used as a sub. Roscommon drove straight through the centre in that game. It was crying out for him . We don’t have a solid centre of the...

Disappointing result on sat night but lucky enough Promotion still in our own hands. Whether we are fit to reside in the upper echelons remains to be seen. As a team we are not consistent. For a time, we were good one game ,poorish the next. On Saturday a lot of that inconsistency showed up in...

Just in from Portlaois. Gutted would be an understatement . Armagh had at least two thousand supporters at the game with great expectations. Right from the throw in things went wrong. In fact both the start and the second half throw in were deemed a foul against us each time. Was I the only one...

An enjoyable game tonight. The team was slightly different from the one in the programme. Eamonn Mckeown was listed at 10 and didnt start .The team that was listed in the programme from memory was P Morrison A McKay A Forker P Hughes M Sheilds N Rowland B donaghy C Vernon A Findon E Mckeown...

I agree entirely. The rich are getting richer. It's not a gripe it's a fact. We either go semi-pro, put a cap on salaries or place a cap on funding to each county. Come up with a level playing field of sorts. I hate the thought of going semi-pro it's against my ethos and all I stood for but if I...

So so disheartening but not a thing in the world we can do about it. If a lad wants to take a year out so be it. I still don't think we were as bad as Tyrone were as good against us and Tyrone certainly aren't as bad as they were against Dublin. Somewhere in between lies the truth. I spoke with...
