All Ireland Qualifiers

[Geezersleftfoot]

Obviously Limerick at home is the draw everyone wants but at this stage I don't care who we get - it's the business end of the season.

On a different note - I thought we really won out physically today also - McKernan in particular will be sore tomorrow and got his medicine after his smart arse move on Nugent just before half time.

I hope Connaire Mackin is OK - won 2 match winning balls when game was in melting pot - fantastic.

I think it will be a neutral venue

Absolute fantastic result. James Morgan and Ben crealy where great also Rafferty was fantastic. That is the first win this Armagh team had against a serious opponent. That win will do them the world of good for their confidence

 

[Wide ball]

Ethan’s two points were things of beauty It’s one thing goalies coming up and kicking frees, but it gives opposing teams something to think about when a gk can come up and kick outrageous scores from play. Fantastic strikes

His first point outside of the boot curler was unreal.

I couldn't make the Game today because of other circumstances but that was a thing of beauty . Great that we were involved in a good game played in a good spirit with no holes barred . I have been on this forum before talking about soupy needs to be used as an impact Sub , how wrong was I . Contributions by bench Especially Mackin ( praying he will be okay ) and Murnins two points were brilliant . Lets back it up next week nothing to fear now whoever we play .

Murnin’s contribution was immense also

His first point outside of the boot curler was unreal.

And he”saved” a point too in the first half from above the crossbar

Yeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaasa. I’m a drinking with Divingmidgets this evening!!!!

Quick turnaround to next Sunday. Hopefully paddy burns and Connaire ok
No doubt will need big performance again regardless of who we get

Best game I’ve seen James Morgan maybe ever

Go easy on them Francie lad , unless you see 'Mugsy' about

 

[Kem]

Well done to the team. I must confess I didn't think we would win expecting Tyrone to get back on their horse. It is obvious that there is a serious problem in the Tyrone camp. Would recommend getting a bet on McGinley as next Tyrone manager. His quitting Antrim where he was doing well is surely a come and get me signal to the Tyrone County Board.

 

[DOUGIE]

Delighted with the draw,no fear of them,we will beat them,time to stand up and be counted

Never in doubt

Are you still at thon Jubbly?

 

[Jamie's Coffee]

Any word on Connaire Mackin? Didn’t look good hope all is ok. Looked like Paddy Burns hamstring. Would be surprised to see either next week although hope I’m wrong.

 

[gael_force_orchard]

To a man that was a great performance and we could have beaten them by a few more as well. Have to also admit that it was a shadow of a Tyrone team. Anyway onwards for us.

We had leaders all over the pitch today and everyone stood up, though Campbell and Morgan were the two best players on the pitch. We got the match ups right and we played our own game so credit to the entire panel and management team, they delivered for us. A word also on Greg McCabe who also had a huge game in our back line.

I feel like the team has righted a wrong from Ballybofey (I just don't know what Donegal have over us as I think they are overrated) and hopefully we have realised that we need to let other teams worry about us and we need to stick to our own game. All we ever ask of our team is that they leave it on the pitch for us and they rarely don't and that's something as supporters we should be pleased and proud off.

We are in the draw tomorrow morning and it will likely be a neutral venue, so roll on whoever.

Finally and it feels like we have been saying this a lot about our players lately, but I hope Mackin is ok after what can only seem as a nasty injury. We have had rotten luck in the injury department and it sometimes gets missed that these players are members of our community who are amateurs and also have a life to live outside football. I hope that the lad is ok and makes a speedy recovery, he and all our players who out their bodies on the line have the full support of Armagh.

The Armagh support deserve a mention today. Not an ulster final appearance since 2008. A terrible performance v Donegal after a high build up. It would have been so easy for people to give up and not attend
And yet I’d honestly say we had at least 5 supporters to the 1 of the all Ireland champions and the noise made was inspirational.
Two scores in the second half by Ethan and Murnin after his fine catch almost took the roof off the stand.
For loyalty and enthusiasm after many hard days we 100 percent have the best fans in Ireland.
It’s days like this make it all worth while.

Mackin was caught by McKernan’s momentum. He did get it hit hard. Don’t believe it was intentional, it was just McKernan running back, he positioned his body to protect himself and unfortunately caught Mackin. Fair play to the Tyrone no 7 for signaling to the medics for treatment.

I just hope he is ok and no harm done.

And this is from a Tyronian “Thawn wee hoor McKiernan knew exactly what he was at, could have killed the lad”. He was sitting directly where it happened. I’m sure we’ll see it later.

Seen

Did you forget James Morgan plays for Armagh? He’s been outstanding all year and you would have dropped him for today! Him and soupy have come up with the goods again!!
Not forgetting Ethan Rafferty!!

Onto the next one

Has James Morgan at last had his St Paul’s moment (Like Forker a few years ago) and decided to play good hard football . He was outstanding today.

 

[Muckser]

No Donegal?

 

[Armaghniac]

Murnin’s contribution was immense also

Murnin did really well. He has had fitness problems, but he is a powerful force to bring on.
