You really think that was a good game??? I was at it, and ok Donaghy was very good and there was one or two other performances that stood out, but it was an average enough game. Armagh were pretty poor that day.

Some good knoweldge there Sid.
I would also include Galway verus Derry semi from 2001 and probably the final from that year as well as I hated Meath at the time (still do).
The 2005 semi between Armagh and Tyrone was a tremendous match. Top, top quality.

I thought that was an excellent game. Kerry were awesome and needed to be to take Armagh.

There was only two points in it with about 8 minutes left, then Darren O’Sullivan intercepted a slack pass for the clinching goal. Overall it was a really good game though, Kerry looked beaten at one stage during the first half. Donaghy obviously made a huge difference.
Galway v Derry 2001 was a good game alright, two smashing goals and a great comeback by Galway when they looked beaten. Prepared them much better for the final than the way Meath walked all over Kerry. Clancy never did much for Galway after that.
One of the most enjoyable games I was at as a neutral was the Dublin V Kerry game in 07. A belter of a game. Dublin looked dead and buried, then clawed their way back into it, only for Kerry to finish them off. The atmosphere was electric as well.

Good?[/quote]
Some excellent tracks on it though wouldn’t call it a great album. Probably in my top ten as it is fairly recent and in mood for listening to it now. Are some excellent moments on it though.

My favourite hurling moment of the decade. We were awesome that day. I missed work the following day and my phone was dead so I never rang in. Got a bollocking big time.
Well worth it though. The big tree that night was epic
