Would you blame them?
Did you see the women in the stand?

ARMAGH vs GALWAY
Expected Score of Armagh 11.6 vs 14.2 Galway
Poor Galway shooting in 2nd half and Armagh converting goal chance the difference
Armagh won Blanket Defence/sweeper wars with 1-11 from 25 (56%) to Galway’s 0-9 from 24 (38%)…
But Expected Score into sweeper defences was only 44% to 42%
Galway getting four man-on-mans, two overlaps and two high turnovers and scoring 0-4 from them, compared to Armagh’s mere two man-on-mans, kept them in touch.
But ultimately, shooting was the difference
What was the free count? Must be the lowest in years
This seems to be a feature of the modern game
It’s a dart to Louisa Bridged filled with venom
There won’t be much Orchard Thieves drunk tonight in Galway.
Was in Ballybunion for the day, only heard the last few minutes so can’t comment on the match
But……Jarlath Burns speech was a thing of beauty, and such an incredible moment for him as a father, just wonderful, maybe he’ll get stick for going on too long but I was rapt.
And what a day for McGeeney, Jesus he’s had nothing but criticism since the day he went into management, written off all over the place, what a vindication
But then it would end up 0-3 to 0-2 with 15 men back and no way to break them down or play the ball around them.
Nor a great day on the line for PJ. The Sean Kelly switch made no sense, amongst others
10 plus years with them in charge
At least 2 on the field today related to my grandson,
Cross ppl
God fucking bless anyone hanging eound Ayre square tonight. I was up for Galway but that level of pot-shitting is just remarkable. God bless Shane Walshe and his thoughts. Poor fucker.
I was at that today.
A really poor match. Happy that Armagh won it though.
Last 20 was exciting, Galway defence awful ref goal,
Know they expected he was going to fist it over the bar,they were fuckin soft
Soft sums them up.
Armagh didn’t even play well, Turbitt subbed, Rian O’Neill did feck all.
The curse of the GAA shaper struck Walsh. I’m always rooting for them to defy convention but very very few if any do their stuff on the big occasion.
He kicked 2 x wonderful points.
I’m thick, but I don’t get the reference.
