Armagh manager Kieran McGeeney says his players' ability to “stop listening to the noise” led to the big All-Ireland SFC win over Derry.
Armagh manager Kieran McGeeney said his players were able to “stop listening to the noise” and believe in themselves which resulted in a memorable victory in Celtic Park.who had been expected to respond to back-to-back championship defeats, was one of the county’s best performances of the McGeeney era and puts them in a strong position to reach the All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals.
“So the noise they would hear, whether it’s me or putting on subs and all that stuff, you know it’s a personal thing and to be able to block that out and understand you were there or thereabouts over the last two years, well you’d have to be very happy with the result.” That same game ended Conor O’Neill’s season with an Achilles injury. Given all those setbacks, this was a superb level of performance from McGeeney’s side.
“This last two weeks Ross has been flying at training and he’s really pushed on and I thought he was fantastic, himself and Niall Grimley.
