We're does it say that I only read provisional finalist

''The quarter-finals take place on July 1/2 with the the venues nominated by the CCCC, and once again the draw is subject to avoidance of repeat provincial final pairings and, where possible, repeat pairings from Round 1''

I don’t see it. I think he lands on him first time and the second time he puts his hand down to steady himself. No complaint form Kelly at all tells you everything
Totally agree. Hand comes across his face yes but as part of his natural movement when going down himself then the second one is to support himself. It's the penalty incident which say Grugan booked so can't see anything else bar social media mischief making.

Draw has worked well for us.

I just had a read through all the comments since Saturday. Long read but overall a good read.

McQuillan made some very poor decisions yesterday for and against both teams. One that hasn't been mentioned, which I couldn't believe, was Greg McCabe's yellow. Horrendous call.

Pushing up on the kickouts was clearly key and leant itself to the needed improved second half midfield performance.

We are in some position. In all probability we will have a QF we are expected to win. With that comes pressure but at the business end of the championship there is always going to be pressure.

From 20 minutes onwards this was the game of the year from these two teams who gave us that last year.

Having Rian to come back in is huge. He loves the big occasion as we all know e.g in the Ulster final he was superb.

Murnin probably one big performance away from an All Star.

Armagh 2 big performances away from an All-Ireland final. This is wide open. I genuinely don't think Armagh have any fear of anyone - nor should they have.

Delighted for Geezer, the management team. the players and for every Armagh fan in the world.

Ffs. Another tool who spent a lot of energy last night in his sad life microdissecting a video to find evidence of an Armagh player up to no good. Reactions on that twitter are pitiful. Forker falls and puts his arm out twice to steady himself himself-close to the face but Forker has no time to pick or choose where arm lands. Slow motion and angle tells nothing about what happened in real time-what is more truthful was the lack of reaction from Kelly. If Forker was boxing him as claimed, he would have made a deal of it (and other Galway players around him).

Nothing to add on game/performance itself that has not been already said here over the last few pages.
Brilliant day.
This could be the game that helps things fall into place and convinces team themselves, that they can win games involving fine margins
For all critics of management out there-suck up and know what an achievement this is, don't minimize it That team has gone through a relegation and an Ulster Final defeat involving-fine margins and some bad luck. I myself was worried about the impact this succession of hard knocks and heart breaking close calls would have on the team and some of the senior members who have been in the trenches for so long. But what we seen yesterday was a team full of belief and hunger-a magnificent job by management and a great reflection of the character of our team. This could be the spark that brings it all together.
