Tailteann Cup 2024

Only very slim margins in Ulster and Connacht kept Down and Sligo out of Sam. That would make both of them above average teams, with performances like that against two of the last four in Sam.

"Armagh snatch victory from the jaws of defeat as they fight back to secure their place in the final. They had to do it the hard way as they had to battle back following two Down goals, but they got back to level terms heading towards 70 minutes and then they had the quality to win it in injury time." 

"Robert Finnerty's goal in additional time at the end of a pulsating second half spared Galway a shock exit as they limped rather than sprinted over the finish line with a two-point defeat of gutsy Sligo in a Connacht semi-final that defied all pre-match expectations. 20 Apr 2024"

Sligo were the best team in the competition. Very unfortunate not to win it, 3 points up against Down in the semi-final when the referee changed the whole momentum with the sending off. And because the rules have changed, they had to play extra-time with 14 men as well. That was the final really, not today.

Referee changed nothing, that guy almost got his head taken off with a lunatic, dangerous tackle. Let's not blame refs for good decisions.
