Fair play on the result last day, think both teams can be happy with alot of what they seen and bother missing alot of men, both teams will improve, never much between Armagh and Galway over the last 4 years, I'd actually say this was the best Armagh looked against Galway in a long time and can be really happy with the general performance but not the result, think Armagh going forward look very good and in midfield look strong, both teams will be there or there abouts come business end of things,

Replying To CCFabu: "Won't be mentioned much considering who they were missing all over the pitch but felt Kerry really missed Shane Ryan in goals" Yeah very good point CC. He was outstanding last year and pulled off some big saves in clutch moments. Happy with the points and got to watch the game today with no tech issues despite an early start. Ballyshannon looked amazing on my stream and photos I've seen since. Really enjoy going to games there between the logistics and the very welcoming hosts. On another point great to see Caolan McGonigle sprinting up the field at the end. He made his 100th appearance last weekend. Who would of said that a few years ago. His determination to get to where he is deserves all the plaudits and of course a massive congratulations for reaching such a milestone.

Replying To Westmeath25: "Great to see us winning close games!
Could do with one more fielder around the middle but we do have Niall Mitchell and Shane Ormsby coming back as possible impacts at kickouts! Shane Allen back in the panel today also good to see! A win next against down would all but see us promoted!" You've obviously ignored Wexford and Limerick's results, a win in Newry guarantees nothing only two league points

Replying To Ros2013: "Slow start but a brilliant result. Sets us up for the rest of the league. 2 more wins well achievable with our home fixtures in succession. Best part is the competition for places. Haven't seen it since 2017-2019 or 2001-2003 1998 when we had decent panels. Another test for Mark will be to avoid the outside noise that'll come
From brigids to get their players fast tracked back into the team. At this stage only stack
And Fallon are guaranteed starters. Everyone else has a lot of work to do to make the match day panel.Fantastic to see Brady get a chance after what happened last year. I hope the posters giving out about the FBD league feel foolish now. It'll take a long time for supporters to get this inferiority complex out of their mind. The same that questioned Brigid's ability to win Connacht when it was blatantly obvious they were the best team." With stack out for awhile Fallon maybe the only starter from brigids vs Armagh …
Great to see competition for every position.The ball carrying today by d heneghan and e smith was brilliant and when you add the ability of the returning c hand - hopefully see all 3 together soon.
B o Carroll not guaranteed
Ryan and Doyle have been steady -s cunnane is better on the ball than both, but overall it will it's hard pick 2 out of the 3
Can't see p frost starting yet anyways, Gavin , McCormack , Higgins ,Keogh all have done well and be good to see m Richardson get a start in a league game to see how goes
Think Brady has done enough to stay no 1 for now , kickouts were very good today

Replying To martinjoe: "A great effort, even if the in transition Dubs had a somewhat experimental team. I know a team were relegated last year with 6 points, but in all probability one more win should make us safe, and allow Andy to give time to more of the youngsters. Andy seems particularly adept and setting up the team to take advantage of the new rules." The big difference between this year and last year in NFL div1 imo is that last year's division included arguably the 8 best sides in the country at the time, whereas this year's div1 includes Monaghan and Roscommon who may or may not be 'top8' material, let alone top6, which is the finish you need to retain status.

Replying To Marooned: "I enjoyed Oisin McDonagh's two shoulders in a row to Armagh men. Sent them flying." Very impressive and a credit to the standard of conditioning at club level now. Oisin looks like someone who's been there years already. That hardness and work rate don't appear overnight but being a tough Connemara lad by nature certainly doesn't hurt either.
Someone mentioned its also great to see Dunmore and Tuam represented again. There was always some truth in that old saying that you'd never win an All Ireland without a Dunmore man but Tuam still remains the heart of Galway football. Having Stars players involved is a massive boost for the club and the town, and it's good for the county too that blend of tradition, toughness and footballing pedigree feels very Galway.
Reports from Tuam are saying Aussie Rules scouts sniffing around Mcglinchy, let's be selfish and hope this doesn't progress

Replying To jacktheboy: "Donegal nearly af full strength to day and Kerry with just about half first team. It's a young man's game now especially the middle eight, donegal need to stick with younger players , no place for over 30s apart from maybe goalkeeper and just maybe a full forward that stayes around the square." Silly post. Lots of players that look after themselves and stay relatively injury free can play well into their 30's. Are you saying Murphy, Mc Fadden and Thompson are not good enough for the Donegal panel? Thompson had a great year for Donegal 2025 and when he went off in the All Ireland final he was dearly missed. Mc Fadden is in the form of his life and was brilliant last year and his form has certainly not dropped off this year. Murphy looked lean and as hungry as ever when he came on yesterday.

I don't fully agree with that take, macca999, as you were within earshot of me, or indeed with your vocal scepticism of Bonner and Co. While I won't name players, there were obvious flaws yesterday, I think talk of Division 4 already is premature. This is a new panel with big personnel losses and a new management team still learning what they have. Yes, the defence struggled and the subs raised eyebrows, but effort and structure can improve quickly at this level. A couple of tighter decisions and better shooting and the narrative looks very different. The upcoming Clare game is massive, no doubt, but it's also a real opportunity to reset rather than panic after just two games.

Daire O'Baoill isn't usually a player I would mention or discuss very often on here, but like Hugh McFadden, Finbar Roarty & Conor O'Donnell, his performances so far this season have been consistently superb, he leaves it all on the field and just seems to be playing with a hunger and passion. He seems to be getting better year on year, its like he is working really hard on his own time to develop all aspects of his game.
Huge respect to all of the County players, the amount of effort and time they put into it is unreal.

Game should have been dead and buried by half time.
Leading at one stage in 1st half 1-07 v 0-03 missing scores, could easily have scored 1-14 by half time.
Over relining on C Mannion for scores and A Niland towards the end.
No enough scores or return from other forwards
Wonder what Neary, Fleming, Mcloughlin, Rabbitte and Niland combined scored from play maybe 3pts between 5 men.
Barrett absolutely destroyed or Centre Back
36yr old Harmendy cleaned out Loftus/Glennon on that side.
Cork must score atleast 2-14 from play
Galway score atleast 0-14 from frees.

Replying To Gaaforlife2023: "Yes free for kerry where hooter controversey tit wasnt free in should other way but ye also got a free moved up when played snapped put breen hand to draw game so goes both ways but that aside unlucky to not at least draw" Watch back on that incident, did Mike Breen at any stage hand the ball back or held it out? Also notice that he turned back as soon Diarmuid Murtagh approached him, he knew what he was doing trying to slow or stop a free getting quickly taken.
Of course Jack O'Connor moaned to the media about it afterwards which was pure deflection away from all the decisions that went his sides way and then the media lapped it up as the national media is full of Kerry heads.

Replying To eddieSize5Balls: "I live abroad and the camera quality plus clash of jerseys on TG4 was hard to watch so maybe that's skewed my opinion but my thought was he isn't trying to pick out players like Patton. He bombs it and hopes for the best. Which is fine in some games but in crucial ones I'd prefer Patton picking someone out 60 yards away." Live at the match the colours were grand from behind the goal but the main camera is far away from the pitch and it was into the sun which wouldn't have helped.
Mulreanny was plenty good yesterday and is definitely an option. His short ones were good and he picked out plenty players in the middle distance ones. and he does use both feet which helps. He can't ping it as long as patton so can't stretch the pitch. I don't think Patton was quite right last year after he got hurt and he needed the operation. It will be interesting to see what he's like when he gets back and gets his chance.

Replying To Tirchonaill1: "Good performance today, just wanted to comment did anyone else think Kerry got an awful lot of very soft frees today? seemed we could hardly tackle them at all without them been given soft frees, was only thing kept them in the game imo anyway." I found the ref frustrating but I'll opening acknowledge I'm coming from a completely biased Donegal point of view though. It wasn't just the frees it was the free just out the arc that Sean ose kicked for two points. I personally find these two point frees a bit ridiculous. As a free in gealic football can often be a pretty subjective thing so what is a marginal free gives away two points just doesn't sit well with me.
mcGuinness and a lot of the pundits talked about was Donegal improving discipline. Well that means just don't tackle just outside the arc especially against Kerry and monaghan. The only way to realistically kick two points into the breeze yesterday was from frees so just don't give it to them by even attempting a tackle outside the arc. Just shadow and when they do get inside then go at them because it's only a point concession from a free. I want to contest for the ball all over the field but this rule is just saying don't do that.
