Must’ve been one hell of a clear night!

The word you are searching for is entitled. I have no problem with people voicing their negative opinions as long as they willing to offer positive ones when they are deserved. As you are someone who regularly likes to complain about absolutely everything naturally you will always be keen to side with the naysayers.
People are entitled to their opinion when the team puts a poor performance in,why always nice
Also, would somebody please let Sean Og know how The Masked Singer went in case he is wondering?
Would nearly go as far as saying that was the best performance under mc geeney tactically outclassed kildare defensively sound an Great attack. That 2nd half was brilliant very harsh on Clarke disgrace he got a yellow. Thought ref was pretty dire all night rewatched on TV an it confirmed it
I think you're in danger of being labelled a bit churlish so I'll offer you a bit of (also churlish) advice on stats.We’re in danger of losing the run of ourselves a little here, so I’ll offer a wee bit of constructive criticism.
It was far from a flawless evening from the boys on the line. It took way too long to instruct the team to push up on the Kildare kick outs in the first half. We were close to the 25 minute mark when they finally did so, and it was only from then onwards that we began to pull away on the scoreboard. Maybe 5 or 6 points were left behind by not realising earlier that Kildare had nothing to offer in attack against the breeze.
Alls well that ends well, though. And it’s a great thing if you can learn a few lessons while still winning.
Perhaps we were a little slow to adapt to Kildare's tactics and we could have pushed up more early on.We’re in danger of losing the run of ourselves a little here, so I’ll offer a wee bit of constructive criticism.

Your post was about 85% critical and 15% positive. I would have had it the other way round
A night to be proud of our team. Horrendous conditions, missed goal chances, wides and then your most renowned player gets sent off with most of the second half to play up the hill into rain and a strengthening gale. They showed tremendous heart and skill to a man.
I know I am biased but I feel a couple of Kildare players let themselves down by feigning injury. It also appeared to be a tactic to niggle around the midfield area. It is probably this that makes me more annoyed about the Clarke sending off than anything. Armagh were to be first into the changing room at halftime. Yet when a Kildare player starts throwing his weight about and handbags ensue it is Clarke who is the only one to get penalised. I don't like the fact that in GAA the retaliation always seems to be a greater crime than the instigation. His second yellow is one of those. He tried to fend off the defender and caught him. A yellow was always possible. The linesman on the stand side brought a number of issues to the attention of the referee.
Of course it was an overwhelming positive performance. I, and others, have run over many of these positives in previous posts. However, there were still things that need more work.I think you're in danger of being labelled a bit churlish so I'll offer you a bit of (also churlish) advice on stats.

Is your glass half full - or is there a leak in it?Of course it was an overwhelming positive performance. I, and others, have run over many of these positives in previous posts. However, there were still things that need more work.
The oppressive negativity on this board after poor performances is ridiculous. But sometimes the exaggerated positivity following a win is just as nonsensical. There’s always some good with bad and some bad with good, my contribution above was an attempt to reflect this.
