Tyrone look the stronger their defence with 13 players behind the ball is formidable, you won't hand pass through that white wall.

Great game, free flowing, attack minded, two committed teams, come on Tyrone.

Best game of the year so far but the defending could be better. More of the same in the 2nd half hopefully.

Who is this 'Dermy' Carlin guy? Is he anything to Dermot Carlin who used to play with Tyrone...?...:-)

Great games by both Minor and Seniors full of intensity and proper football none of the negativity that has dogged the Ulster championship so far this year , unlucky Armagh but I have no doubt that a good run in the qualifiers is ahead of you's Tir Eoghain abU!

It was a close one......Tyrone looked suspect at the back. All in all, very entertaining with MAN TO MAN marking. I think its time Tyrone and Armagh are taken out of the Puke Football Category. So that would leave Dublin, Donegal firmly in the negative footballing arena. Well Played Tyrone, able to switch systems, adapt and play entertaining football at will.

Joe, the Tyrone ref, gave an awful lot of soft frees to Tyrone. Armagh had more difficulty getting them

Yeah fair dues to Tyrone they were the better team and good luck to them , I have no complaints at all. Very entertaining game, from two committed teams , great to see it played in the right spirit. However the loss of Aaoran Kernan was a severe blow to Armagh both in defence and as free taker. We will never know if his calming leadership would have been enough to swing the game our way. Also I will add that I thought the Referee done a really good job and contrituted greatly to the enjoyment of it

Tyrone were very impressive today but they need to give over the diving. Cavanagh embarrassed himself today.

A great game, Armagh's fighting spirit was impressive, but tyrone's experience
got them over the line. Pleased to see an open game of attacking football, the
2012 championship has so far been pretty good. Tyrone were suspect at the
back, but big Joe played well. Colm cavanagh and martin penrose stood out for
tyrone. Stephen O'Neill showed well when he got the ball also.

Definitely one of the better Tyrone/Armagh games of recent times, theres definitely a hint of resurgence for both counties, best of luck in the qualifiers.

Great game but I agree there was too much diving from the usual suspects.

Il be first to admit I have my Orange goggles on!! But was that ref not very one sided in Tyrone's favour. He also lacked consistency particularly in off the ball situtations and pushing in the back. Some of those Tyrone fellas go down easily. Anyhow all in all it was a great game to watch its just a pity we couldn't nick it in the end. From an Armagh point of view Toner and Clarke were immense. Was also very impressed by the performance of Anto Duffy.
