On ConorTurbitt's winning score.
It was a wise decision to take that score. The goal was on but by taking a point it meant that Kerry needed a goal.
And before that he took a kick-out. He wouldn't be renowned as a midfielder but he took a serious kick-out which was so so critical.
Armagh 1-18 Kerry 1-16 (AET)
A cracker of a game and brilliant from Armagh as the underdogs upset the odds to defeat the Kingdom.
They're through to the 28 July decider to play the winners of tommorow's second semi-final between Donegal and Galway.
We'll have video and text coverage from that game but that's all from us for now.
Thanks for your company.

That word, journey, and that has been an incredible journey.
They have come through Ulster championship defeats and they keep coming back, and for them players to have the resilience and hunger they keep coming back.
They managed the game brilliantly and huge credit to Armagh.

Armagh All-Ireland winner on BBC Sport

I'm just delighted. I'm delighted for Geezer (Kieran McGeeney). It looks like he's aged 10 years in that 90 minutes or whatever it was.
We've been starved the last 10 years, 20 years, and to get the job done I'm just so delighted and proud.
Roll on the next two-weeks!!

Armagh fans are bouncing up and down as 'Freed from desire' is belted out around the stadium.
The scenes of jubilation are incredible as Armagh make it through to a first All-Ireland final since 2003.
The Kerry players are still on the pitch with hands on hips. They were warm favourites to win here today but played so poorly in the final 20 minutes of normal time and all of extra time.
There was no kick in them at all and Armagh – the team who are supposed to not be able to win tight games – punished them in the best way possible.
FT: Armagh 1-18 Kerry 1-16
Rian O'Neill named man-of-the-match. He kicked some big scores but that catch on the line at the end was just as crucial for Armagh. He and his teammates can now await the winner of tomorrow's second semi-final between Donegal and Galway.

For me it was Rian O'Neill. He had big moments like that fetch at the end. Showed his leadership.
Blaine Hughes was good and Forker before he went off, but for me it was Rian O'Neill.
FT: Armagh 1-18 Kerry 1-16
What a stirring win for Armagh who found a way to in extra-time. Kerry were pushing late but some superb defending has helped them see it out.
Their supporters are going wild in Croke Park and they will be back in a fortnight for the final, their first in 21 years.
FT: Armagh 1-18 Kerry 1-16
It's all over and Armagh have done it!
Armagh 1-18 Kerry 1-16
A huge fetch from Rian O'Neill on his own line.
Armagh 1-18 Kerry 1-16
Kerry shoot short. Armagh are on the attack and Conor Turbitt fists what is surely the winner.
Armagh 1-17 Kerry 1-16
Kerry win the ball. They have one minute to find an equaliser and send this to penalties.
Armagh 1-17 Kerry 1-16
Two to go and Armagh with the ball. They are looking to keep it at this stage but Kerry swarm and force a hop ball.
Armagh 1-17 Kerry 1-16
Another Armagh wide when they had possession. It's given Kerry an attacking opportunity but Mike Breen can't punish.

If I was part of the Armagh team, I would be screaming at Blaine Hughes to take his time (with his kick-outs).
Armagh 1-17 Kerry 1-16
Huge fetch from Conor Turbitt that sets Armagh on the attack but Stefan Campbell screws the shot wide. Five to play.
Armagh 1-17 Kerry 1-16
Mike Breen responds immediately and from the kick-out, there is an infringement. The ball is hopped and Paudie Clifford points.
Armagh 1-17 Kerry 1-14

McQuillan's running since he's came on has been brilliant. He's been very direct.
Armagh 1-17 Kerry 1-14
Paudie Clifford shots into the arms of Blaine Hughes under pressure. Armagh break and Ross McQuillan curls over. A huge moment.
Armagh 1-16 Kerry 1-14
The teams were given an extra few minutes to gather themselves, but we are back underway.
Armagh seem to have more energy but with just a two-point gap, this game can turn in an instant.
