Tough on Armagh; great for Donegal. Gripping game, with quality scores throughout (including the penalties). points50swiththeargyllsonthewrongfeet (Tyrone) - Posts: 267 - 12/05/2024 19:05:14 2544336 Link 5 |
Nothing like winning with decorum and dignity is there?

Tiernan Kelly missed that didn't he? He must have had something in his eye... peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 958 - 12/05/2024 19:05:49 2544338 Link 4 |
Well done Donegal. We had to do it the hard way beating all of Derry, Tyrone and Armagh. What a magnificent 1st season back for Jim. FootballGuy (Donegal) - Posts: 249 - 12/05/2024 19:12:29 2544344 Link 2 |

....when you win your next one, we'll see how you feel. Come up to the square and I'll buy you a pint.

I thought Armagh had it won after 56 seconds given Forkers celebrations after his point. You couldn't beat them enough or by enough and any county will tell you that. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 958 - 12/05/2024 20:15:04 2544359 Link 5 |
Donegal supporters here embarrassing themselves with comments, the irony of berating Armagh supporters whilst behaving moronically Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1789 - 12/05/2024 20:32:24 2544365 Link 1 |
Actually came on here to congratulate Donegal on winning today but some seven year olds can't seem to enjoy their moment. Did some big Armagh boys steal your dinner money? Anyway congratulations to the majority of Donegal fans on here, an awful way to lose a game but so be it, Good luck for the rest of the championship. sean og (Armagh) - Posts: 1071 - 12/05/2024 20:46:31 2544371 Link 2 |
Ah tbf Armagh fans are notorious enough. They're probably the 2nd most insufferable set of fans. shaggykev (Donegal) - Posts: 284 - 12/05/2024 20:50:20 2544372 Link 1 |
Here here. I feel for mcgeaney he's done Trojan work but some of their over the top celebrations during the game was a bit much. I was unlucky enough to be in the hill with them in 22 and some fans where beyond disgraceful, I'd have them up there with the worst after down and limerick hurling Sportsfanatic90 (Westmeath) - Posts: 222 - 12/05/2024 20:57:21 2544374 Link 3 |
That was a gripping contest from start to finish! The shooting accuracy and the quality of long-range points kicked by both teams was exceptional. A cruel way for Armagh to lose once more. Gaillimh_Abu (Galway) - Posts: 1011 - 12/05/2024 21:00:30 2544375 Link 1 |
Touche. Penalties pot luck. Congrats to Donegal all the same. Great atmosphere. Armagh brought some crowd today.

Armagh played too much to the crowd after scores even during penalties, Donegal scored and head down and ready for the next. Jimmy is definitely the boy. Ulster is nice to win but championship starts now. Good luck.

Agreed, they seem to be an awful crowd for pointing to the the heavens and the big whoo to their supporters and the game far from over, But over all a great Ulster Cship not much in any of the games ,all could have went either way , Thats it in Ulster for another year and Donegal fully deserve to be winners , well done

brilliant stuff from our lads yesterday and even when the game wasn't going their way they showed heart and character and refused to be beaten. some fantastic scores by both teams and a first half that was for the ages. A pity there isn't a replay as it is terrible pressure to put on both teams who gave their all in a thrilling game, condensed season is treating our players and fans terribly. hopefully Jarlath Burns will sort this mess out! totalrecall (Leitrim) - Posts: 982 - 13/05/2024 09:16:32 2544406 Link 1 |
What a brilliant win yesterday, everybody is walking around on cloud nine this morning. I thought Armagh payed really well, maybe the better team for the majority of the game. Stefan Campbell was outstanding. However they should have put the game away when they were 4 points up. We looked out on our feet at that stage and what a performance to get ourselves back level.

First of all commiserations to Armagh, that game deserved a replay, the Armagh fans we met were sound people and I really felt for them after the the shootout, penalties are no way to decide a Provincial title, Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2934 - 13/05/2024 10:35:45 2544427 Link 0 |
What about the posters that stood in the pouring rain watching Antrim beat Donegal on the way to the Ulster final in 2009? Or how about the posters on this thread who saw an Antrim team win an All-Ireland Senior Championship in 2010, which no Donegal club have ever won. Casement Park is as central as Clones to each area you mentioned when better transport links are considered. Of the 30,000 attendees at the match yesterday, how many travelled from areas outside of Armagh and Donegal? Couple this with greater opportunity to book an bnb or a hotel break, or other activities in Belfast to make a weekend of it, I think it's a no-brainer that Casement will become the preferred location. There's no Fermanagh Street near Casement, but if you build it, they will come. SurelyToGod (Donegal) - Posts: 420 - 13/05/2024 10:46:29 2544431 Link 0 |
