I was delighted when I heard the Cavan result - well done them and I say Breff could be hungover today

Yes great result for them for sure amd happy for Breff but I feel for Armagh too. Jamie Clarkes goal should never have been disallowed!

Of course it should have. The ref had blown up for the foul before the 'goal' was scored. It was unfortunate from an Armagh point of view but he had blown for the foul.

Maybe so but he had blown. You could not play advantage after blowing.

My point being why have the advantage rule and not use it? Bad bad decision imo.

I agree with the first bit of that but he blew so end off. The free had to be taken. Maybe he shouldn't have blown but he did and he could not have allowed advantage then because the backs could have stopped trying to keep him out.

Because the referee deemed that there was no discernable advantage at the time of the infringement, he blew his whistle, Cavan stopped, Armagh scored, no goal. To be honest, if it had stood Cavan would still have won, they were able to up their game after Armagh pulled it back to with 3/4 points in a way that Armagh could'nt. Not seen an Armagh team so lacking in fight and ideas for some years now, worrying times for the apple pluckers I'd say.

I feel Maurice Deegan hadn't a good game yesterday.

He was very quick to blow up Clarke for the wee pull on his jersey, Clarke was clearly still going forward and held a great goal scoring chance which he duly buried in the Cavan net, it was a poor poor call by referee Deegan. There were numerous other incidents in the game where he played an advantage to a player where there was a pull on their jersey, these were all out field however.

Deegan wasn't so quick to blow the Cavan fullback for handling the ball on the ground inside the square just prior to Armagh's goal, it should have been a penalty to Armagh but he didn't give it.

A lot of other blatant fouls committed by both teams went unpunished.

I was happy enough for Cavan aswell yesterday, to be honest though I fancied them anyway because Armagh have slipped a long way since 02.

The point surely being that the ref should not have blown until waiting a second or two to see how the play developed. There were other instances in the game when he did allow play to develop and unfortunately its just plain old inconsistency raising its head again. Likewise with punches thrown yesterday not receiving red-cards.

But congrats to all in Cavan, a deserved victory and a real chance of making an Ulster Final in what would be a great boast to supplement all the underage work being done.

ye congrats to Cavan,

As Seany said ,Deegan could easily have waited a couple of secs and then if no advantage blown up then, it makes no sense why he blew up when he did. Cavan were the beater team though.
I hope they get a good run, it gives hope to underage developement and their u21 sucess.

I haven't seen that on TV yet but it looked at the time that he touched the ground just beside the ball. there were alot of incidences yesterday where the ball simply didn't hop it caused the players no end of trouble . lads were soloing and hopping the ball expecting it to bounce but it seemed to sink in the turf. something which caused this particualr scramble in the goalmouth.

If he did pull for it it would have been a 14 yards free, the the goal would not have happened so its a disappointment
