Armagh Vs Galway - 8 Like(s)
Fantastic game, awful way to lose it. Both teams out on their feet and think both teams deseved another go at it, but the new calendar doesnt allow for it.
Fair play to P Joyce for his comments.
Thought we started well in the first half and should have got further ahead. Galway the better side in the 2nd half and we were fortunate with some soft goals while Rian showed nerves of steel for the leveller.
I dont mind a bit of shouldering and rough and tumble. Both teams threw a few slaps. However what one of our lads done with they eye gauge was absolutely disgusting. He could have blinded the Galway player. Hope he gets a long ban and if he is anything about him he will have looked for Comer after to apologize.

Replying To Llaw_Gyffes: "Just as a matter of interest can you point out specific incidents where Mayo benefited from the referees decisions. I'm just curious as I have heard this narrative a lot since Saturday but I have watched the game back twice and I wonder what people have seen that I haven't. Sean Cavanagh said on the Sunday game that Armagh were unhappy when Deegan was appointed, to be honest we weren't over the moon either, but he didn't explain why they were unhappy which I thought was unfair on said Deegan. Then he said Armagh were unhappy after the game and mentioned something about harsh calls. Now that's okay for the likes of us lads to make statements like that as we aren't expected to back them up but the bold Sean is getting paid for his input so the least you expect is that he would give some examples to back up the assertions. There was some mention in passing that Andy might have touched the ball on the ground but apart from zooming in to show the ball appearing to sit on Andys toe there was no attempt at clarity. They had time to meticulously go through all the stoppages to determine that the referee didn't play enough injury time, seemingly on McGeeneys prompting so surely it would be easy to find some of these harsh calls that impacted on Armagh. Oddly enough they paid no heed to the injury time played in the first half which was also four minutes even though injuries to five players three from Armagh and two from Mayo took slightly over six minutes not to mention the two bookings and two substitutions which would have added on another couple of minutes. James Horan musn't have complained about that. Andy took a couple of extra steps as did Kev Mc in the lead up to the goals but then young Campbell over carried on several occasions and actually took seven and then twelve steps in scoring one of his points. Deegan made mistakes and frustrated both sets of supporters at times but I can't find any evidence to suggest any hint of bias. There was even a suggestion from one poster that the Gaa wanted Mayo in the super eights and Deegan was part of some fiendish plot. If that was the case wouldn't it have been simpler to pair us against Leitrim in the first round, Offaly in the second and anyone bar Galway in the third. Any chance we could get a five point start the next day!" I already posted in the match forum that i dont blame the ref for our loss, i accept that Mayo are just a better side (and we done some stupid things).
However just on your points -
You accept both goals were overcarried (the 2nd one was well over carried btw - please watch the link below from Benny Tierney) but say this is balanced out by 2 soupy points which were overcarried. I can assure you 2 wrong goals are worth much more advantage than 2 wrong points - especially in a 1 point win/defeat.

The free against Jarly og which the mayo man (Mcloughlin maybe) just jumps into him and fell in the 2nd half, left wing was ridiculous. Mayo scored from it.
To only award half the added time (proved on sunday game with facts) that there should have been when Mayo were ahead was also terrible reffing which benefitted Mayo.
Anyway while Armagh can be disappointed with the ref performance we have to look at ourselves why we did not win.
Clarkes missed goal chance - good save and all but he didnt fully connect. Keeper should have had no chance.
Grugan open goal - didnt show the necessary composure to round the keeper and finish, instead put it over.
High wide count.
Shields stupidly getting Oconnor first free moved in. From a free on the sideline to moved in infront of goals on the 21. Those are the fine margins in a 1 point game that costs you.

The Donegal/Armagh Row - 2 Like(s)
I'm going to try stay away from the mud flinging from both sides (and those from outside the two counties).
However, from what i am led to believe all 3 suspensions were lifted on appeal due to technicalities (ref procedure boo boo if true). And so Armagh were within their rights to appeal. Had Donegal appealed at the appropriate time and used the same reasoning their players would also have had their suspensions lifted.
Rians ban lifted due to a different technicality where again the proper processee werent followed.
The GAA really need to have a long hard look at their own rules and the people in the know who should be following the letter of those laws need to either stop cutting corners/better know the rules.
Looking forward to the game on Sunday.

Deegan was awful but we have to look at ourselves for why we were beat.
Indisipline from Shields getting that free moved in.
2 missed goal chances in the 2nd half.
And we have a truly awful goalkeeper. Small with no presence, doesnt make saves. Every game costs scores with his kicking. We dont even have a sub keeper atm.
Well done to Mayo, with all their injuries thats a great effort. Simple truth is they are just a better side than us.
Good luck to Mayo going forward. Hope you get a few men back and give it a good rattle.

Replying To Llaw_Gyffes: "I can understand you pointing out incidents which went against Armagh but we can go round in circles with the we should have a free here and you shouldn't have a free there. For instance Armagh got a handy free near the end when Clarke fell over unassisted and Cillians tackle for the free, which was also moved in, looked to be perfectly executed. As for Benny putting up a link for McLoughlins goal, I wonder did he consider putting up a link to the Armagh goal which included two instances of overcarrying in the build up, one by the brilliant Jamie and the other by young Nugent. Armagh as you say probably have only themselves to blame for losing the game but as regards the referee you need to look at the decisions that went for you as well as against." The first sentence of your post asked for the specific examples of when Mayo benefitted from decisions from the ref hence my post.
Like ive said twice now we have ourselves to blame due to the reasons i listed.

Replying To yew_tree: "Why is there no Armagh forum on HS?" Have a look at the orchardfans forum. A few mayo people have joined it for some discussion too.
