Sounds like we’ve fell apart in the 2nd half. Hard to know what to think of it.

Tonight should have been used for an opportunity for fringe players who haven’t featured much throughout the league to get some needed minutes

Sounds like we gave away two goals with errors from short kick outs. Really annoying because before today I was thinking that the kick outs were one of our big improvements.

Hopefully just an off day.

Yes, there was a short kickout. But the goals resulted from passes to Cork forwards at a time when the Armagh players were not under great pressure, especially the first goal. A lack of concentration in a game that wasn't critical.
It's a pity that we lost our goal free record, but when is the last time that we were unbeaten in any division?

Didn't go to the match so listened on radio, was glad to see some lads get a rest, seems the first have went perfectly, leading by a goal against a strong wind, cork are always a dangerous team who do tend to score goals but I think management will be disappointed with the second half display and that it seems we gifted them goals, that isn't like us so far this year, I dunno who marked Chris og Jones but after 25 mins he seemed to get the better of his man and who ever marked the midfielder O'Callaghan didn't do great by the sounds of it, Rian Nugent Duffy and the likes are just getting minutes in the legs so that is good, I'd be worried about midfield with only crealy as the natural midfielder we had starting think we need Mackin or mcpartlan there tbh, the commentators where very good on radio and would have you think Armagh where gonna win at half time with that wind, fahy for them seemed to get off on runs regularly so wonder who marked him, commentators said grugan had a great game along with turbo and Conaty, and that we kicked alot, I do wish and think we had of closed that game out in second half but again a few years ago we lose that and don't fight back so they are all positives

The management have something to talk about now. Do the simple things, but if you don't then a decent team will punish you. That's not a bad lesson to hammer home at this stage.

Were you the guy in the KY car clamped on the Quay by any chance? There is a faded line here and you can park on the road, but the rest is harbour and is private, there is one about this in 500m.. I timed my arrival to the end of the hurling game and there was a row of cars there, someone pulled out and I parked in line with all the rest. When I came back after the game they were just about to clamp me, although I suppose he would have had to it on the back wheel as the front wheels were on the public road. Really misleading situation.

Enjoyable enough game. Armagh lacked a good bit of intensity and stood off the Cork players for most of game. Both Cork goals came from mistakes under no pressure. Hopefully lessons learnt. Good fight was shown to get back and draw game. On last night's evidence Rian has plenty of work to do to get back into the team. Well of the pace and a few poor decisions made. Hopefully the game will bring him on. Oisin made an immediate impact on the short time he was on. Conaty played well. Great pass from Grugan for first goal. Otherwise most were 5 out of 10 at best - and we still didn't get beat.
