Not sure how defining. Mayo have decent record against Kerry in the league and they have looked less than great themselves so far this year. Donegal more than likely into the final by the time they play Mayo and will rested players for that match.

Great win for St Colmans today. At least we will have one day out in Dublin this year.

Got a point should have been two. Mayo are at their best moving the ball fast.

I'd have taken a point at half time but Reape didn't look confident when he took the ball at the end. We looked to be running the clock down to kick and stop Armagh from getting back up to equalise. Not enough confidence there but we played some great stuff in the second half like they were told to throw away the handbrake at half time. Armagh bullied us in first half. We looked like boys to men in the second half. Should tweak the rules to make a sideline worth 2 points, much harder score than an arc 2 points.

No way should a sideline score be two points and it should be zero if the player has encroached onto the pitch before kicking the ball, no?

If he encroaches, fair point. Free out. But if it's legal it's harder than kicking from outside the arc, why I think it should be two points.

For sure a point at half time. I thought we were on a hiding to nowhere at the half. Great second half. The lads upped the tempo and it worked. Wrong man had the ball at the end and they were definitely playing to score with seconds left.
Still happy with what I seen in the second half.

Was a good game and always good to have the mayo ones up, think a draw was fair result, alot being read into the league and I wouldn't get carried away, mayo will be there or there about a as always you are missing vital men and getting minutes in legs of players who haven't got before which is good, Armagh are the same missing a big amount of players that will come back for championship, the 2 O'Neill's, Conor O'Neill, Ciaran mackin, Aaron McKay, joey McElroy and tiernan Kelly all to come back soon, some other teams in the league are at or near full strength so Armagh and mayo have more scope to improve once they get players back hope we meet down the road at the business end of the championship for a good game and best of luck for rest of the league

Donegal will be doing their best to avoid a league final - prelim round of Ulster championship is the week after league final

Yes showed that yesterday by resting a number of key players with a focus on the Ulster championship so a very winnable home game for Mayo in round 7. Derry and Tyrone I would expect to get relegated and I'd tip Armagh for the drop right now before Mayo.

Mayo v Kerry on Sunday
60kph gusts forecast (25kph minimum) blowing into the bacon factory end.

Going to be a two point shoot out

God help the poor unfortunate lad who has to pick up David Clifford against the wind.
