Game effort by Carlow but Monaghan grind out a 1-12 to 1-7 win.
Impressive enough tbf considering the negative game plan they faced.
You always felt they were going to do it, but they were by no means impressive. Carlow played well but missed a lot of chances themselves.
Any away win in the Qualifiers is a very good result.
Smashing atmosphere there on a good pitch. Thatâs what the qualifiers is all about.

Well considering they couldnât win at home last year, I suppose any win is a success.
3 of the 4 sides to progress through the qualifiers are Ulster sides.
Absolutely, not easy.
Extra games a huge advantage
Thereâs another round to be played
They struggled to beat Carlow and Tipp. Surely youâre not gloating about this?
Dick Clerkin is a painful cunt.
Baldy bastard.
Fair play to carlow,they gave it everything and came up short,no shame in that.They should have pushed on after the goal but thatâs not their game, too defensive,they should have been kicking it long but they donât have the forwards.
Fair play to Liam Kearns for giving Armagh their dues for their second half performance. 
If Kearns doesnât get whatever he wants to stay on then itâs a major 2 fingers to Football in Tipperary from the Co Board.

Heâs a very decent amenable fellow.
Rachel Wyse saying âhe had some very strong wordsâ about the referee.
Cuts to his interview then and Kearns is very gracious!
Agreed.
Was refreshing to see him taking to the pubs with his players after beating Galway last Season. It shows he can play the game with his players both ways.

For all the talk that the Football was turning into a so called elite Championship for Dublin, Kerry & Mayo itâs being a very enjoyable championship so far with plenty of the so called lesser teams excelling.
