Cork have much more All ireland than Donegal although that would nt be hard.
Armagh will win Ulster and yous might draw the Dubs later.Hopefully yous wont be whinging again about the venue.

Replying To Scenicparish:  "Well Tyrone will defo be kicking themselves. Could have win it at the end of normal time. Had some unbelievable chances in extra time as well."
Getting the simple ball over the bar was there downfall today. All the talk about their great forwards and it was them who let them down. They upped their game from the performances all year and Armagh were there for the taking. Donegal Derry final.

Yes a lot of chances missed. Jordon missed a few 2 pointers early on.
The goal chance near the end of extra time was crutial. In hindsight a pop over the bar would have tied the match.
A word on Mattie Donnelly, great match today. He has been a great servant to Tyrone.

I was scratching my head at how Tyrone lost repeated kick-outs in Extra time, despite having an extra man. I just couldn't understand why they kept Armagh in the game by kicking out to 50:50 balls in the middle.
Surely the extra man should have been negating the Armagh press, but Tyrone seemed out of touch and hell bent on helping Armagh to win it.

Also noticed that Tyrone have no spacial awareness , very messy setup, O'Rourke needs to have a hard look at things.

On the great goal chance, as you say, nothing beats a moving scoreboard no matter if it's tap over points.

Hand pass over was the only play - especially considering Armaghs record in penalty shootouts.

Laois knocking out Offaly and Leitrim knocking out Sligo were notable results. Wicklow beat Carlow after missing out on promotion. Frustrating for their supporters to have lost out on promotion again. Wicklow lost to Limerick in last year's Tailteann semi finals. They're not far off success but frustratingly for their supporters, big results in the league and Tailteann have not gone their way.

Louth's bus got lost going to Donegal last year. Armagh's pre championship training camp was disrupted. Not ideal ways to prepare for big championship games.
