Did Armagh not already win the all Ireland down in Leitrim? cavan.galway (Galway) - Posts: 242 - 02/07/2023 07:57:27 2491222 Link
Replying To PattyONeill: "I was listening on the Monaghan/Cavan radio station Northern sound. The fact that they call their radio station that shows the partitionist mindset of the people." Don't agree. Cavan and Monaghan are in Ulster, which is the north of Ireland whichever way you look at it, so they can rightly call it Northern Sound. You might be overthinking this one.

It was like one of those terrible horror movies, you still watched it to the end to see what happens. I thought the ref was really brave not to give that free to Armagh. It was not a free. McGeeney should be in big trouble for his actions straight after. A total disgrace. sponger (Wicklow) - Posts: 2929 - 02/07/2023 08:36:29 2491227 Link
Replying To endgame: "Wouldn't feel sorry for Mcgeeney and him out on the pitch at the end of normal time. He's had more than enough chances with that Armagh team." He's been involved in intercounty management for what 15 years now? What has he actually achieved in that time? With Kildare people thought he was a great manager yet what did he actually do? This could be the his last season. oneoff (UK) - Posts: 1645 - 02/07/2023 09:06:36 2491229 Link
Replying To Gaa_lover: "I thought tactically the two sides mirrored each other. Losing three penalty shootouts is tough as it gets lets be fair regardless of one think of Mcgeeney and Armagh." The criticism will be that with an extra man, Armagh should not have been mirroring Monaghan but instead taking the game to them. They seemingly didn't take on board the lessons of that Derry game. artisan (Down) - Posts: 1794 - 02/07/2023 09:33:52 2491230 Link
Replying To TheFlaker: "I wouldn't have any sympathy for McGeeney. It's his tactics that are the reason they fell short again." 100% true Stmunnsriver (Wexford) - Posts: 2976 - 02/07/2023 09:58:37 2491235 Link
Conor lane was poor , but monaghan were the better team . Where does Armagh go from here - very negative …. It was an awful match and so too where many of Armagh's matches this year cuchulainn35 (Armagh) - Posts: 1688 - 02/07/2023 09:58:50 2491236 Link
Replying To cuchulainn35: "Conor lane was poor , but monaghan were the better team . Where does Armagh go from here - very negative …. It was an awful match and so too where many of Armagh's matches this year" Change their Manager is where Armagh go and it should have happened before now. They have some talented footballers if they were allowed to play. Best of luck to Monaghan in the semi final. Vinny Corey has done a great job in his first year with them. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2416 - 02/07/2023 10:28:52 2491243 Link
The last passage of play in extra time took guts to carry out . Vinny called it from the line that Beggan wasn't to try the shot . Don't think another manager in the country would have called that decision. Brilliant manager and wing men .. respect stoneygrey (Monaghan) - Posts: 233 - 02/07/2023 11:04:12 2491254 Link

Replying To Pope_Benedict: "A county like Tyrone wins 4 of the last 20 all-irelands played. Probably leaves them in a pretty sated state, I'd imagine. They don't look that mad hungry for victory these days, and why would they, with one tucked away as recently as 2021." Shouldn't they want to win it every year? Because they won it in '21 do they not have to try next year either so? Or the year after? When should they be expected to care again? What's the mathematical formula for your theory?

Monaghan GAA on the crest of a wave, All Ireland semi final, Minors in the final next week, even the hurlers won and still the begrudgery from some When it comes to grasping the nettle lads, this Monaghan team do it better than most. Dublin, Mayo, Tyrone, Donegal, et al, have all been relegated from division 1 at their expense. Can't be accused of choking anyway I'm not a fan of this ultra patient tactic they employ when attacking, it's not good viewing for the neutral and even harder for us supporters, but then here we are in the semi final Just like last week they came out on top in a game they could easily have lost. And just like last week we were pushing forward to win the game at the end, while the opponent were afraid to lose. Mc Manus was a massive presence when he came on Armagh were naive when we (bizarrely) went down to 14 men, as other analysts here pointed out they allowed us to keep the ball for most of that 10 minute period. Perhaps because they were a point up however no urgency came from the sideline to push up on us. was poor game management We also had a couple of bizzare calls made against us, Hawkeye went missing for a clear point not given, what could we do but just laugh, black card for a dive, throw up for a fair shoulder, removing the contact element of the game is hard for us Monaghan people to come to terms with both on and off the field The penalty shoot out we deserved to win, with five natural penalty takers and an all star goalkeeper on hand to finish the he job. We brought Mc Carron back on with a minute to go. I'm wondering if Armagh had a natural keeper on, who knows Onwards and upwards to next week and who knows we might even win something mhunicean_abu (Monaghan) - Posts: 1067 - 02/07/2023 11:22:12 2491264 Link

Monaghan got a brilliant victory, congrats to them. The ref? Conor Lane made some interesting decisions. The free kick in 26th minute of injury time that Rory Began took short was a brilliant move. My problem with this is that refs all season long have told players it's the last kick of game. Other counties did not get this luxury and the price was heavy. Time was added on to Armagh's disadvantage. Penalty shoot out by both teams was excellent. Congrats Monaghan. suckvalleypaddy (Galway) - Posts: 1738 - 02/07/2023 13:08:12 2491291 Link
Usually have a lot time for Tomas O'Se but his sneering, gloating remarks about Kerry's defeat of Tyrone were uncalled for. Tomas and his Kerry team were put in their place by Tyrone quite a few times. Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9818 - 02/07/2023 13:22:31 2491299 Link

Why should Began be told its the last kick if there's time left ? Other games are irrelevant. Not all time added on is the same. artisan (Down) - Posts: 1794 - 02/07/2023 13:40:25 2491306 Link
Replying To Cockney_Cat: ""My problem with this is that refs all season long have told players it's the last kick of game." Really? How do you know what refs are telling players?" circumstantial evidence: ref walks up to player and tells them. Conor Mc Manus said he was told. Beggan was not. suckvalleypaddy (Galway) - Posts: 1738 - 02/07/2023 13:44:17 2491309 Link
