The world needs another Galway Armagh tie
It does and tradition dictates another famous Armagh factual/moral victory via draw
That lack of an Ulster will gnaw at McGeeney

While theyâre current champions Iâve a gut feeling that todayâs reversal will knock the stuffing out of their summer. Granted theyâll be hard to beat but youâd wonder have they the hunger or desire to grind it out for another 8/10 weeks.
Personally I wouldnât be pining for them were they to bow out in the round robin series. Conversely Iâd imagine the result today and the nature of the contest will probably galvanise Jimmyâs troops.
Theyâre far from the finished article and carrying a few lesser luminaries than youâd hope for, but theyâll be hard bet as the saying goes.

He has a right few things gnawing at him youâd imagine. How does he remain so sullen looking for 2 hours. A mirthless individual Iâd say.

Galway and armagh to come out of their group and donegal and tyrone out of the other. There will be no group of death
Same with Lohan and Munster. Theyâve been so unlucky losing two finals on penalties and another by a point after extra-time. But you trade them all in for an All-Ireland.
If they put Rian back in there, theyâre a very dangerous animal. A nasty prospect.

2 quality teams. Armagh have fair depth. Donegal maybe less so, but both will get to the semis at least Iâd say.
Ulster final day looks one for the bucket list
Binky gets it

Yea but where they come in the group is a fairly big deal I think? Week off if you top it and home preliminary if you come 2nd.

See that wall at the back of those trees, in front of those houses? Thatâs where the back of the old Hill (last day July 18th 1993) was. Did I ever tell anybody I was there that day? I was up towards the back too
You made the bus so. Good stuff. How was it getting out of there? Supposed to be the hard part.
I went out for a smoke at half time, and there is a wall at the back of the hill terrace with a grassy, sloped patch behind it. There lay an armagh fan, comatose and covered in his own vomit. The cops were busy frogmarching Armagh youths out of the stand all throughout the match. However, they were a small minority.

Harder than normal because of the late ending. Clones is normally a ghost town by 8pm on Ulster final evening. I still made the 945pm bus from Monaghan, with about five minutes to spare. So instead of looking for a nightclub in Monaghan Town to while away the time before the 255am bus, Iâm having a nightcap in the Palace.
Unfortunately people have started singing Grace so Iâll have to get my gun out and shoot them.
