WE BLUE IT

Dessie fumes as wides cost Dubs dearly against champs

- KARL O'KANE

DESSIE FARRELL said a wasteful Dublin were 'at odds with themselves' as they lost to Armagh at Croke Park, in the absence of captain Con O'Callaghan.

Kieran McGeeney's men are now guaranteed to top their group and claim the one automatic All-Ireland quarter-final place on offer with a game to spare.

It also left Dublin fighting for their lives going head to head with Derry in the final round at a neutral venue in a fortnight.

A draw will be enough for Dublin to stay alive, but if Derry win and Galway defeat Armagh, the capital side will finish bottom of the group and exit the All-Ireland race. O’Callaghan was sorely missed yesterday as Dublin had 23 misses in total, including 19 wides, with five of them two point efforts in the second half.
