Chances of County Board doing anything with referees are close to zero.

Stamping is a red card offence. Clans offered nothing 15 v15, doubt they would have offered much 14 v 14. Is that 'hunger' winning the game or a referee that doesn't apply the rules equally?

Yep, that one tiny break we needed could have got us home, but that just wasn't gonna happen tonight.

This thing about 'hungrier' and hunting in packs is BS. If you foul consistently when swarming a man, or pulling him back or lying on tip of him and get away with it then yeh... of course that will win the game for you Amd of course you'll keep doing it and look 'hungrier' Look at the 2nd...

Thing is. He didn't let the game go. He let the game go for one team. Fouls he gave against CE he gave for Clans. Consistently. Its easy to adapt to the referee giving nothing against you. The penalty was clear. it also took 3min to take as a Clans defender wouodnt leave the small square. Time...

Hard to comment on tonight without sounding like sour grapes but.... The game was over. Done, dusted, finished until the sending off. Clans offered nothing up to that point. From then on the Clans upped thier game and Faloon went to town. Everything that wasn't a free for CE was a free for...

What is a DLB ?

I'd say there is a fair chance it will be a Derry Armagh Ulster final and after that... who knows. None of the Div 1 teams look unbeatable.

Can only assume the goal was disallowed because either a) RoN pulled the ball from the keepers hands which, although not often given, is techncially a free (would also have been a hard one to spot from the distance Deegan was away or b) a general scramble where ref can't really see what's...

The Wangers ???

Tyrone have traditionally been poor defending AIs but that group is young and motivated, so will be a serious outfit to come up against. Certainly more a group collective rather than a collection of stars, but McShane, Canavan, Donnelly and potentially McKenna are Rolls Royce players. Armagh...

Disappointed in how the final 5 + extra were played. Monaghan there for the taking. Not good enough to defend and see out a game, needed to be going for the jugular and keeping Monaghan, who were dead on their feet, pushed back. Brilliant to see 2 club men contribute so much to the comeback...

Overall I thought Tyrone were the better team and the final scoreline flattered a little, although carrying the fight right to the end was good to see. I thought beforehand that direct running would cause problems and it did. Cut open too many times, then adding in some very silly fouls +...

I would really hope this isn’t true as a number of years ago the County manager was asked to give 10-15min of his time for a talk to the Armagh u16 champions just before they started their Ulster u16 campaign.....on the grounds it would be unfair to the other teams in Armagh........it would be...

I agree - structures are important and if not put in place correctly can certainly hinder a good coach. I firmly believe however that a poor coach working within good structres will still find it difficult to succeed. So, while some good coaches may not recive the recogtnition they deserve...

I appreciate what is being said about pinpointing the exact reason for success between coaches, players, structure and schools etc, however we have won u14 League, Feile and Championship, U16 League, Championship and Ulster and the Minor title over the last decade, so that would suggest that...

I'd be curious to know how many managers of the various Armagh underage football teams over the last decade have a track record of success with club underage football in the county. Without knowing the stats it feels like very few...although could be totally wrong.

Ok Geezer ;)

Let’s be realistic here....McKenna cup has zero relevance to what happens further down the line when Armagh play Tyrone. Remember Tyrone winning by a cricket score in 2014 then getting beaten in Omagh come championship time. Winning or losing tomorrow either way should be treated with a huge...

First round with the big hitters played yesterday. Some scoring in the St Pats / Killeavy game (3-14 each). Clann Eireann comfortable winners v Harps.
