Replying To eddieSize5Balls:  "Tyrone were unlucky. Looks like we will once again have to face off with Armagh. I don't think they are as good as they have been other years and we are definitely better but as Pacino said "any given Sunday".
Have to get through a solid Down team first."
I thought the best team lost with the phenomenal Con Fitzpatrick driving them on. It'll take some effort to top that performance for a losing side this year. The Tyrone shooting and shot selection really let them down but the goal gave them a brilliant opportunity in extra time with an extra man but their wastefulness continued to cost them. Hats off to Armagh to come through with a man down but I felt they played much of the game with an extra man with the ref. A repeat of today's performance against Donegal (if as I expect we beat Down) won't be good enough looking forward.

Con Kilpatrick was outstanding against Kerry last year too, but his performance got very little coverage amidst a very poor team outing. He single handedly kept driving them on, but they got very little return from his brilliant fielding and inspirational bursts forward that day. As I mentioned last week, Tyrone lack physicality around the pitch compared to most of the top teams. A great effort today, but left it behind them in the end.
