Armagh supporters letting their county & the game down with their booing & soccer style chanting"
Haven't heard much noise from them in about 15 years but they haven't got any easier to listen to that's for sure

I'd say their will be a few counties very anxious about the draw tomorrow. Some performance by Armagh. Donegal couldn't live with them for the most of the game.
Shame about the Armagh supporter's behavior - if you couldn't see what was being played & could only hear the crowd, you would certainly not think it was a GAA game. Clones will be in some state after them.

Armagh outclassed Donegal on the pitch
Pity they have no class in the stands

Hope Armagh get Dublin or Kerry next and their supporters get taught some humility

Armagh is a disgrace booing and jeering off the field and simulating and sledging on the field.
I'll be shouting for anybody that plays them anymore disgusting.
Lads in the crowd who won't even remember the game

Armagh deserved winners. Much better team on the day and not helped by Donegal imploding. But the conduct of the Armagh fans has been disgraceful. Those vuvuzelas or whatever they are called now should be banned. Counties should be fined for fans booing. Seen on social media that they were chanting 'Who are you' and other abusive chants at Murphy and McBearty. Go and watch soccer if you want to act like this.

Easy for Armagh in the second half. They we're the best team, McGeeney got it right today.

The sad part is that most of you whinging about a few armagh fans booing the donegal players as if its the end of the world, won't be long giving out about things being too pc nowadays next time ye hear about some celebrity apologising for a joke they told, without seeing the irony.

Best team won, well done Armagh. Donegal needing a serious reset across the board. Who can lead it though? A lot of work needing to be done. Some good players don't look to have the stomach anymore. But a lot of talent also being allowed to waste years too underachieving.

That booing of Murphy was disgraceful as was the chanting. The man is a legend, captained his county to Sam Maguire at 23 and captained his country in international rules and been one of the finest players in the land for a long time. Would have sworn that was England fans in Clones today.

Leave it out with the abusive stuff to Murphy. He got a few boos for frees.
If only people knew what Murphy was at the first game people would have no problem with a few boos.

Fantastic display Armagh, owed it to themselves after not showing up in Ballybofey

Sledging?!
Must have missed the first game when Armagh players were asked why were they there and not away marching with the other orange men.

Armagh made their move in the second quarter and the second half was pretty much all one way traffic. The hungriest team won on the day. Well done to Cork too.

If I was a Donegal supporter I'd be relieved it ended this way if it means that bonner will get his P45…with the septic style of play and 3 wasted years surely the players deserve a new voice…

Find the criticism of Armagh fans a bit strange. It's nothing that we didn't hear in the Ulster final and Murphy has been getting dogs abuse and booing from nearly every county we've faced in the past 5-6 years especially in the stands. Some of the things I've heard him called over the years has been horrific and that is from nearly every county.

They booed a few frees. They've had a rough time of it against both Tyrone and Donegal in the past 10 years. If booing is the free taker is the worst of it, they're alright.

I think it's fair to say Armagh enjoyed today on and off the field. Lets be honest after everything thrown at them including on these forums post Letterkenny and Ballybofey there appeared a real determination to win that today; Donegal was the perfect draw! I'm sure they'll forget about Donegal by the time they're home and move on but that was a big win a few weeks after Ballybofey. They've every right to enjoy it.

All this rubbish about armagh supporters booing and crap. Get over it, and stop crying.
We were beaten fair and square, and have no one to blame but ourselves. We had control of the game and two short kick outs changed the game. Were lucky to get away with first, second one is where we lost the game.
Why we were taking short kick outs is anyone's guess, as we have plenty of big men in midfield and the half forward line.
There is supporters in every county that are not the easiest to listen to, so move on.
What Donegal need to be doing now is rebuilding and hopefully not under our current management

Great win for us but Donegal were very disappointing. I couldn't believe they persued with the defensive set-up in the second half.
Such negativity being spewed on this site after a great game. You can't tarnish 10-12,000 supporters because the camera flicked a few times to a couple of bus loads of p***ed-up youngsters who were blowing vuvuzelas all day. Just obviously very sore and sad people doing the posting.
