Longford could've beaten Armagh only for such a bad start the week before so they're hardly worldbeaters! keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 06/03/2017 13:37:09 1964564 Link 0 |
No football fan wants to see a result like this. You have to feel sorry for the players, management and their families. I am quite sure that Offaly are much better than this and can only imagine that a lot of circumstances conspired to bring about a result like this, Hopefully we will see the real Offaly team in the next round.

While they're a major issue to be sorted out in the GAA, I can understand why Dublin fans get annoyed at the constant blame they receive for everything and anything that happens in the world. CastleBravo (Meath) - Posts: 1646 - 06/03/2017 20:08:42 1964792 Link 1 |
Excellent post CastleBravo, so many people take the lazy attitude of blaming the Dubs money for all that is wrong in Leinster football. The Dubs do have an advantage, but Kerry and especially Mayo could have beaten them last year, so it is not all down to money Also even with Dublin's dominance, there are so many counties way ahead of the 2nd best best team in Leinster, to say it is just down to money is a cop out. Like you say what cash advantage had Armagh over Offaly in order to beat them by 30pts? county man (Limerick) - Posts: 1102 - 06/03/2017 22:45:10 1964861 Link 0 |
Armagh did that to us in the Championship in 2013. They scored 8 goals and beat us by 27 points. They were relentless. Then the next day they were beaten 5 points by a Galway team who had earlier lost in Connacht by 17 points to Mayo. So football can have strange results.
