I should have known better than to say a team would probably physically dominate Armagh. The fact is few teams actually do as was shown tonight. They were superb and fully deserved the victory. Armagh are a great footballing county and the Championship really needs their large, colourful support despite what some Westmeath GAA people say.

Well done Armagh. Best team on the night, Clarke and a couple of others were excellent. Delighted for Geezer too, he's still very popular in these parts. Best of luck in the quarters lads. kildare73 (Kildare) - Posts: 854 - 29/07/2017 21:49:57 2025560 Link 1 |

Armagh and Kildare - great game of football to watch and good movement. Good to see teams back playing football without continuous back passing. Was a bit disappointed with Monaghan in the way that they did not contest the kick outs in first half. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 29/07/2017 22:28:42 2025574 Link 0 |

That's it Ziggy, Kildare's All ire was won In tillamore , pity as its a real shame for Leinster yet again only one rep in last 8. Lets be honest, Kildare were beat well by a Dublin side in 2nd gear and by a team who couldn't get out of division 3 that Louth and tipp did. Says a awful lot about where Leinster is at unfortunately. And yes I include Meath football in that. The highest ranked team Kildare beat this year was Meath, and in hindsight Meath had a awful year (despite been better than last year, which wouldn't be hard) long road ahead, for every Leinster county.

Whether you meant this as a joke or whatever only you know, what I will say is that it is the absolute height of irony for you to come on here and kick the Kildare lads when they are down after losing a very hard fought close battle, when that very same Kildare side made a mockery of your lot earlier in the championship. On that day in Tullamore Kildare pocketed you guys and you lay down and you died, You guys showed absolutely no passion, no guts ... nothing, You hid away and you went down with a pathetic wimper. You can waffle on about Kildare treating it as an all Ireland, Whether they did or didn't, the fact you didn't match their passion on the day just goes to show everything that is wrong with Meath football and why, as Dr Watson says, Meath are an absolute total and utter irrelevance except to a few cabbages on here who will talk about the Meath tradition and hard men/great players of the past who are of no use to you now to try and big this bang average team up to something they arent and try put themselves on the map again after falling so drastically away, I was at the games tonight and all 4 sides were warriors. Not one went down without a hell of a fight and unfortunately for Down and Kildare, the better team on the day won out. Entertainment wise the games today where absolutely terrific value for money for 25 quid. Armagh fans are immense and bring wonderful colour to Croke Park. Next week will likely sell out and it promises to be a brilliant double header. Dying for it. Roll on tomorrow. This championship has been phenomenal. Great competitive games for the most part. Shock results... Class.

Just made an account to see what people were saying after no one gave us a chance. I know gaa is massive everywhere but in Armagh we are so passionate it's unbelievable. We have good team coming through still very young so we aren't far away. Getting to quarter final is are all Ireland win. Although would not be scared of Tyrone. Fair play Kildare lads use are a great bunch of people and a top top team. Use are like everyone in Armaghs second county cuz of geezers routes there. No doubt use will be back. Two great games that's what the Gaa is all about! Can't beat it Armaghman2002 (Armagh) - Posts: 2 - 29/07/2017 23:15:54 2025608 Link 1 |

Disappointing night for Kildare but I think the overall outlook is quite good and they should be commended as the only team in Leinster who are really prepared to try and challenge the Dubs. I think a season next year in division 1 will really bring on this team as will the super 8. I think Kildare are short a couple of players but they do have some talent coming through who have a big advantage in that their conditioning will already be at a level close to what is required for senior football. In Feely, Brophy and Kelly they have players as good as any around in their positions. The much hyped Daniel Flynn clearly has talent but he needs to work on his finishing. He looks like a real confidence player so playing in division 1 and the super 8 will definitely be good for him. Defensively Kildare need to definitely improve. I think in division 2 their defensive record was quite good especially in in terms of not conceding goals. They are still very loose and playing at the higher level will again help. My biggest gripe with Kildare is the over indulgence of some players to take too much out of the ball trying to do it all themselves. They have a few players like this and it really is something they need to eradicate a bit especially when the likes of Brophy and Flynn can thrive on quicker quality ball inside. These players have plenty of pace so would be far better off using it to provide support to these players inside. All in all not a bad season for Kildare and the outlook is positive where it is pretty bleak for the rest of the province including in Meath. panamasam (Australia) - Posts: 2782 - 29/07/2017 23:23:15 2025614 Link 0 |

You may not like Meath BUT it's obvious you are seething with rage that they lost to an Ulster side; you fool no one.

Excellent post. No shame in losing to a better team but to wait in the long grass with your fingers hovering over the keyboard waiting to mock the team who actually hammered your own lot is unbelievably childish and silly. Dublin were better than us, we lost. Armagh on the night were better than us and we lost. Fair play to both of them and best of luck going forward. They deserve to be where they are as do all the quarter finalists. The rest of us can sit back and enjoy the rest of the Championship as neutrals and see some good football.

If a three point defeat is "having your asses handed to you on a plate" what's 9 and a 10 point defeat? Is there even a word for it? It's hilarious how a couple of sour lads are on with their scripts prepared waiting for us to be beaten. Maybe if you put as much effort into putting your own house in order then Meath football wouldn't be in the bin. And no, our all Ireland was the leinster final........beating Meath was no Biggie;)
