Kieran McGeeney is concerned Armagh have picked up “bad habits” in Division Three which could be exposed by Donegal in Sunday’s big Ulster SFC clash.

Armagh 0-16 Fermanagh 0-11: It may ‘only’ have been the Division Three Allianz league final, but Armagh showed enough in Croke Park on Saturday night to suggest they have the tools to become a team worth fearing again.

Armagh continued the impression that they are moving in the right direction under Kieran McGeeney’s stewardship, overcoming a slow start and the first-half sending off of centre-back, Finnian Moriarty to bag the Allianz Football League Division 3 crown.

Armagh footballer Kevin Dyas believes that media coverage of the county’s senior team is being distorted by preconceived notions about their manager Kieran McGeeney.

Imagine Brian Mullins without aggression and physicality? He’d be more suited to playing for Cork today than Dublin in the ‘70s.

With 13 wins from their last 14 games against Ulster opposition for Donegal, Armagh have done well to keep their name from the list of beaten and battered teams left strewn across the northern province to date.

Perhaps the most depressing aspect about the ban is that it’s not really a media ban anymore. It’s more of a superstition.

Congratulations to Armagh on making absolute fools of themselves. At this rate, you’d swear they were facing more than Donegal this Saturday.
