There were plenty of talking points generated across the three provincial football finals and qualifier action while this morning's round 3 draw has us looking forward to next weekend …
Armagh at home for mayo. Home advantage can’t be underestimated in these fixtures. Armagh have good momentum and will be dangerous given space and time. Mayo to up it another gear for me 👍

I know people might think I’m mad but @MeathGAA need to dust themselves down & take what was a lot of good from the game. Last 10/15 mins was a non contest due 2 margin at that time. A lot of good work done first 45 mins. A lot to build on..& let’s make sure we score

Scoreline is brutal but Meath far better than just 4 points today. 16% conversion rate against any team, especially Dublin, is never going to challenge. Hopefully they’ll re-group and put in huge performance in qualifiers the next day to earn a place in the super 8s. Progress?

Kevin McStay “in fairness to Meath they have given it a good shot” they are down by 17 points 🤷🏻♂️

Not very often Dublin kept to 5 points in 35+ minutes but it’s not much good if you leave the shooting boots at home yourself.

Another great day in Clones! That’s number 5 for some of these players and another back to back. Enjoyed it from a slightly different perspective today commentating.. @hughmcfadden gets the honour of being my first… https://t.co/aPI8mEH7gx

Just back from the @UlsterGAA final and have to say @officialdonegal look the real deal! With pace and power all over the team, they are All Ireland contenders for me esp with that squad. @FermanaghGAA prob the only side to give them a game this year ...

Cavan’s only Purple patch cleverly upended by McMenemins head injury. Then They break and Brennan bangs in the goal. Stuff like that does not happen by chance. The understanding between Murphy and McFadden brilliant to watch also. 12 different scorers means trouble for any side!

That wasn’t pretty but another one in the bag. Stephen O’Brien outstanding all throughout, constantly getting on ball trying to make things happen. 💚💛

Cliffords magic there worth the price of admission alone #munsterfinal

What a great manager Malachy O’Rourke has been for @MonaghanGaa gave the county some wonderful days out.

What a manager Malachy O Rourke has been for the Farney. Will be a massive loss. No doubt he will be a man in demand too
