Wasting chances. Could have been up by 5 early on but some terrible shots. wind is all over the place

First Score, 2points for O'Neil. Dublin need goals

So frustrating at this stage giving up those rule breach points. Every other team seem to have embraced the new rules. We have not adapted at all.

Dubin seem poorly coached

Skillset is poor compared to armagh. I though dublin were dreadful and armagh won in second gear.

Really missed Con today - the over reliance on him showed today, but the whole forward unit were off it, Kilkenny didn't score Bugler had terrible wides, O'Dell, Basquel, Small etc are too on/off, very inconsistent. They'll make a preliminary q/f I think but after that it's hard to see them doing real damage, they could on their day take out Kerry or Donegal etc but they won't do it twice.

Same old problems killing us again. Team isn't coached to play modern game. Armagh didn't really need to step out of 2nd gear game was there we never took the momentum. Wide after wide and some absolutely bullshit half arse attempts at 2 pointers.

Have to beat Derry now no slip ups and pray Con is back.

Yeah Armagh were 5 points up near end felt like 50. Real lesson given. But no surprise given league form etc. Still have same issues. Let’s be honest need a complete rebuild at this stage. Get young lads in who would be at least suited to the new rules.

basquel can’t keep starting. He’s done nothing. Small at least will get a few and he can hit for two points. Costello his usual when it comes to shooting.

Less driving forward and more sideways again. Never looked like scoring a goal. Cluxton with some good saves.

Scully really day dreaming for the 3 player rule and then tries to sneak back at a 100 mph and then we get done again 2 minutes later. Very sloppy.

I think Dessie will be gone

I don't think anyone really thought Stevo would venture up field unlike some of the other top keepers. It really looks like we have not adapted to the new rules at all ,embarrassing stuff today .

Yeah Armagh can afford to throw the game v Galway. Extra rest probably strengthen AI credentials. Kerry can do the same in their group too.

Cluxton would probably need a respirator if did that. Two lads in Parnells ahead of him in the freetaking. Didn’t Cluxton take one during the league and shanked it. Obviously does not even practice them now? Weird when you think how accurate and effortless he used to kick frees. Now nothing.

The rule change that the keeper counted as one of the 13 wouldn’t make sense for him to run up.

The wides offer hope of a better outcome should the teams play again but i'd be confident that they'd do a job on us every time when the chips are down. You could explore it in way more depth but suffice it say they are better prepared than we are.
