So you can say t about the management but not the players. Got itWhich players were a disgrace? What a disgusting thing to say about any lad going out to play an amateur sport.

Management get paid, players dont, so yea different rules around coments on both in my opinionSo you can say t about the management but not the players. Got it
We‘ve known about those “rumours” for years. It’s no secretHard for me to figure out oisin o neills lack of gametime tonight. Hopefully see more of him soon but does anyone actually know rians situation? Is he injured? How serious is it? Have heard a few rumours about problems away from football but honestly dont believe them at all. For some reason armagh are extremely quiet over injured players so we don't actually know who was or wasnt genuinely available tonight ann/or when we can expect to see certain players back in the squad. Also think Rowlands passing range was missed tonight from the mc kenna cup games
May stop asking about Rian, personal issues, doubt be allowed shared on this forum.Hard for me to figure out oisin o neills lack of gametime tonight.

I don’t feel promotion to Division 1 is necessary, especially with this new group stage structure in the AI series that allows for a run of games right up to knockout football.Personally I feel its important we get promoted this year and first game of the league the result is only thing that matters
And comments here a couple of months back saying Armagh are superior to Monaghan? Give me a break. Monaghan are division 1 regulars for a reason. 2 all Ireland semi appearances in recent years and could always beat us when it mattered.Watching Monaghan vs Dublin, the standard compared to our own game is uncanny
Don’t understand why Conaty gets ahead of some others in the forward line. Decision making poor and just not up to it atm.Was I at the same game I thought Turbo was poor. That 1st goal chance and loss of ball on a few occasions. Conaty I only remember with 1 score. Turbo hit 4 points from frees but missed 4 also.
I would say it was great to have Paddy Burns back and he did cover lots of ground.
He did mention Rian O'Neill being back in a couple of weeks but don't think suspension was brought into it... He's not suspended like.I thought I heard the bbc commentator say Rian O'Neill was suspended for last night's game
It’s not how close the result is that has caused the reaction. It’s that we haven’t seemed to learn the lessons from our defeat to Monaghan last year.Such knee jerk reactions on this forum, and a few other social media outlets.
All I heard for the last 2 weeks was how this was going to be a tough match that couldn't be taken for granted, and when it turned out to be exactly that, loads of people aren't accepting of it.
And what lessons are those?It’s not how close the result is that has caused the reaction. It’s that we haven’t seemed to learn the lessons from our defeat to Monaghan last year.
Overally defensive systems don’t work against good teams anymore - don’t take away from our attack by starting defenders in the forward line.And what lessons are those?
Don't foul Conor McManus for the last kick of the game?
Don't miss 2 penalties?
Watch it again on BBC iplayer. It was Louth who were overly defensive and broke on the counter, we were the team in control of possession for the vast majority. For the most part it was us trying to do the breaking down.Overally defensive systems don’t work against good teams anymore - don’t take away from our attack by starting defenders in the forward line.
The unwillingness to attack at times - main reason we lost against Monaghan. The long spells without scoring are a clear symptom of this.
Exactly this. Well said. Patronising posts that think that people just want Armagh to blindly attack more, miss the point. We played exactly the same way against Monaghan last year and for large parts of the league and championship. As you say starting two defenders at wing forward, when playing at home to Louth isn't a good signal. Going back to the keeper when we are under zero pressure just slows everything down. We've seen that we aren't very good at scoring when the opposition are back and set up, so why do we slow it down and give them more time to get set? Have we looked to fix that in preseason? Time will tell and hopefully when we get more players back, we'll see more of that. If Turbo had scored those goals it would have been a far better performance and score line. Looking forward to the Meath game.It’s not how close the result is that has caused the reaction. It’s that we haven’t seemed to learn the lessons from our defeat to Monaghan last year.
