The 2024 All Ireland Senior Football Championship (Sam Maguire Cup)

He said absolutely nothing like that! He was very honest in saying the team just didn’t perform; and in the second half made more errors than probably all of the rest of the season.

Comer and Walsh were left on based on previous reputation alone which is always a mistake. Walsh was clearly not able to hit the ball with any power or accuracy from the start due to injury. Gleeson or Conroy would have been better options for the frees.

Galway now play a type of running/hand passing game where someone like Comer may as well not be on the field.

Its unfortunate for Galway as on balance they were probably the team of the year and this group will never have a better chance.

Ah yes... It takes a special type of fan to start harping on about other teams bottling finals, on the eve of their own side bottling one of the softest finals in living memory.

Maybe you are right, we might know a thing or two about bottling finals, but do you know what - so do you...

I think I'll watch The Sunday Game. I hope they do a deep analysis, it is not going to be pretty from a Galway perspective. They blew it, not just by not getting to extra-time, but they could have easily won it, had they the conviction towards the end. Look, they're not my county, but it's the stuff of nightmare fuel. Some of those players will never want to see replays of what was the best opportunity they'll ever get of winning an All-Ireland slip through their fingers. The faffing about they did in added time when they needed a point to equalise.

There were no goal opportunities in the game at all, bar the Armagh goal, and that came from a mis-cued attempt at a fisted point.

Armagh only got 2 points from the 47th min goal and still won, sums up the game really. Both Comer and Clifford in the semi hardly touched the ball, maybe it's not possible to do much playing in that position v Armagh.

I hate that expression "fully deserved", it was used by Jacqui I think. Was it though, was the Armagh win fully deserved?

I don't think it was, but they won't care, it's theirs, and it can never be taken from them.

Galway self imploded. Armagh did enough.

I don't think any of these teams be around next year but delighted for McGeeney and Armagh. He got his chance and delivered.

One of the panelists said Walsh and Comer had a bad day because they were engulfed by the Armagh defense. Pfft! I think I can recall Walsh kicking 2 wides and dropping 2 short from dead balls, at least, that has nothing to do with Armagh. Shane Walsh has trended the most on X/Twitter, more than anyone, he had a MARE! It's not nice for him.

Aye, seeing the pictures throughout out the thread has brought the memories back.

See another example of nonsense from a panelist. He said that goal derailed Galway for a while. 🙄 Ya, so that's why Armagh didn't get another score for 15 minutes?

Exactly, the way I view how Armagh played is like those Italian sides in the soccer, try and grind down teams wait for their opponents errors, risk free stuff.

I never thought I would see the day where a GAA team would reminded me of an Italian soccer team, but it has happened now.

Is that a break with tradition? I thought the winners meal was in a Dublin hotel

Dublin will be all over the shop, scrambling to try and find young lads, basically will be an OK div 1 team sort of like Roscommon level.

Tyrone are a team I think are bubbling along nicely, that who I would have as a good chance out of the "new breed" they just need to get experience.
