Disappointment for Tyrone. INPHO
"I was five foot from it. It's just so hard to take because, you don't want to be a sore loser, but you would wonder whether if it was at the other end of the field (if) the same decision would have happened."
Did Padraig McNulty dive? Sean Cavanagh says no.
"Baffling is the word. Inconsistency. I just don't see the difference in those."
Mickey Harte couldn't understand how Kerry's Shane Enright escaped with a yellow card while Ronan McNamee saw black.
"If we can back it up now and finish it off, then of course during the winter time we might have a think and say, 'yeah, it was good to beat Tyrone in Croke Park' but we'll be thinking of four weeks time now straight away."
A championship win over Tyrone will mean nothing to Eamonn Fitzmaurice if the Kingdom don't finish off the job on Sunday, September 20th.
"We're champions. We're coming back to Croke Park in a final to retain our trophy."
Footballer of the Year James O'Donoghue is a man on a mission.
"It was like playing in soap. The ball was slippy, the grass was slippy. You could lose your footing very easily."
Conditions were difficult in Croke Park yesterday but Kerry's Michael Foley still managed to pilfer 1-3 against Derry in the All-Ireland MFC semi-final.
"There's no doubt we're going to be up against the favourites from the very outset of the competition in Wexford in the final."
Limerick manager John Kiely is bracing himself for a big challenge in the All-Ireland U-21 HC final.
"We've nothing won All-Ireland-wise, but we wanted to push on and make sure we got ourselves into that position. We are a long time waiting, we need one in our county."
The Treaty County's goal hero Tom Morrissey was keeping his feet firmly on the ground following Saturday's win over Galway.
"We got the scores and semi-finals are all about getting to the final and that's what we've done. Obviously we'll have to play better the next day to have any chance of competing."
Wexford boss JJ Doyle wasn't overly impressed with his side's performance against Antrim.
