Armagh GAA

Mm.

Obviously extra time with Armagh in the Ulster final this year as well.

Like, they've, they've done really well.

Everyone will remember the, the Derry game and the Jack McCarron sideline kick for a long, a long, long time.

There is more going on behind the scenes here than just the county board or, or players are unhappy with, with what has been happening on the pitch, 'cause I think what's been ha- happening on the pitch with a young team and with an injury-ravaged team last year as well, uh, was, was heading in the right direction.

Like, you need to give managers time.

You s- you've seen it with Kieran McGeeney and Armagh, that the county board backed him to the hilt, and ultimately it comes to fruition in 2024 when they win the All-Ireland.

Poor Joyce has been given a number of years with, with Galway, a- as he should.

You'd hear this lad is coming, this lad is coming.

he was minor with Mayo in 2024 and actually before the All-Ireland I had a lovely chat outside with another Swinford band David Heaney David Heaney was a former Mayo captain actually captain Mayo in 06 in that final he managed the Mayo minors in 24 so he had Colby as a minor and you just kind of knew off it like that was the last year of the old rules and they lost an All-Ireland semi-final to Armagh and Armagh were very defensive and mid-life very difficult with 15 by the ball, no two-pointers, this and that.

And I just said it to Dave, I said, how much do you wish these rules were in it there two years ago? He said, you've no idea.

You know, basically, like you said, if they were there, they might have had success then, but there was something sweet about it this year.
