Here are the main talking points from a busy weekend of gaelic football and hurling action...

It's all part of the journey-"the sweet is never as sweet without the sour" Donegal won't be going away.

I'm glad I retired when I did, don't have to face these lighting corner forwards anymore https://t.co/UjjuIb38zz

Would love to think a Kerry footballer would do as much for a Cork footballer#WelldoneNiall pic.twitter.com/772WBOUhvb

Great performance frm Tyrone, with some fine individual displays. The intensity in the tackle & score takin frm distance wz a joy to watch!

- Joe McMahon (@Bigjoemc) June 18, 2017

Can see why first half of these games are usually cagey. If a team gets a lead of a few points early it's game over

- Daniel St Ledger (@DanStL89) June 18, 2017

Tyrones tackling is so impressive very rarely foul and generally turn over the ball in contact

- Joe sheridan (@Squarecut84) June 18, 2017

tyrone while impressive faced a very tired flat donegal side today. Some serious shooting from Tyrone

Huge win for @OfficialCorkGAA - top quality back to back performances proves their credentials as All Ireland contenders. #WATvCORK

- Neil McManus (@Neilmcmanus88) June 18, 2017

Gutted..but what has lifted me was watching young Mark Coleman playing natural wing back hurling

- Tony Browne (@TonyBrowne05) June 18, 2017

Frustrating thing regarding Shanahan foul. Out the field it's a free but inside there it's not. He also went down too easy

- Wayne McNamara (@waggymc) June 18, 2017

Where is Austin Gleason?? CorVWat

- Seán Gannon (@CannonGannon9) June 18, 2017

Barry Kelly is consistent anyway. Equally bad for both teams in nearly every game he refs #GAA

- Tomás Quinn (@mossyquinn) June 18, 2017

Austin Gleeson with a sliding pick up! #touchofclass #biggameplayer

- cian mackey (@CianMackey) June 18, 2017

What a piece of skill & score by Austin Gleeson there! #GAA #WatvCork

- Barry Cahill (@barrycahilldub) June 18, 2017

Is there a rule that if getting fouled you are allowed take an unlimited amount of steps? #WaterfordvsCork #GAA

- Pa Ranahan (@PaRanahan) June 18, 2017

Big statement from Tyrone today.Colm Cavanagh and Mattie Donnelly outstanding #contenders

If there was ever an advert for Tiered football Cship we're seeing it in the Hyde - Leitrim extremely poor while Ros cruising #ROSLEI

I wrote a few weeks back about watching out for Kildare in year 2 of a Cian O Neill program . Peak performances will happen. Saw it tonight

- paul galvin (@pgal10) June 17, 2017

How bad do Meath look here. Look totally clueless in attack

- Paddy Bradley (@PaddyB14) June 17, 2017

Wewell done Kildare hard to believe but it was Men against Boys the only way to sum it up ,
Kildare looked really good this evening

- bernard flynn (@bernardflynn15) June 17, 2017

Didn't think it could get any worse after being beaten well by your neighbours Westmeath, then I get the curly finger to go to the bog

- Paraic Sullivan (@SullivanParaic) June 17, 2017

Mighty win for westmeath - that's more like it, I think we will give Dublin a good cut this year #iarmhiabu

Rosie red cheeks and blisters on the feet!!#ChampionshipFootball #GAA
