Was at game today, very poor viewing. Never been at a game with less atmosphere. Really brutal watch, 2 teams setup really defensively. Armagh won in 2nd gear, soupy, mc Elroy, burns & Grugan were best on the day. Conaty took the fight with some gr8!runs in 1st half, tired in 2nd. Creally form would be a concern, I feel we need him firing on all cylinders to compete around the middle with the big guns. I would have liked to have seen o Neill come on a bit earlier, he should be starting imop

Job done, looking forward to Cavan game now

Conceding goals isn't always down to Keepers it's down to how good defenceively team is or how good teams are attacking wise

Wondered what the hell the smell was. Knew it wasn't far from diving midget land, but didn't think even they were that bad :D

All joking aside though, hopefully all were ok and it ended well. It's an expensive enough day out without that hi.

We must really have been woeeful in th recent past. I found myself strangely enjoying the game and never actually felt as if it was one that was getting away. Almost as @Ná habair é says it felt like a challenge game at the opening of a ground. The crowd were seriously flat and I didn't get the usual "following Armagh buzz! I even had taken myself away from the main stand for a change as I went on my own today and just did something different.

On a side note, I had parked out beside the Motel and while it was a bit of a dander (bloody baltic too), it was damn easy getting away and onto the main road home.

Aye and just think how handy it will be when they build that railway line to Enniskillen and Derry. Won’t be long now!

Out of interest, did anyone go by bus today? There is frequent service on the Belfast-Enniskillen route, via Lurgan.

Just wondered if anyone used it. Might be something to consider come championship time, when we go back there.

Beat Cavan and we are promoted with a game to spare, pretty simple maths and everything in our own hands. It's a great position to be in but enough peril at stake to keep the focus.
The league has been good for us so far and we appear to be building nicely for the championship. On paper (I know, I know!!) we should get promoted and reach an Ulster final without needing to put too much strain on the panel which in turn should be excellent preparation for the all Ireland series. Let's see how it all pans out.

I watched Cavan on Saturday night and they are poor. It won't be a walk over but i would be expecting is to beat them by 5+ points

Thought it was a poor game with no real excitement .
Reality is Armagh could have had 3 or 4 goals and squandered a lot of opportunities throughout the game .

Not that annoyed with this as it keeps people grounded heading into the championship .
