Replying To TheFlaker: "A second half lesson there. Absolutely no excuses. Dublin and Kerry the 2 big guns the rest still chasing." The rest are only chasing their own tails, wonder is this the last we'll see of the great Aidan O'Shea and Cillian O'Connor?? (tongue in cheek) What chance does anyone give Derry or Monaghan against either of the big 2? I'd love to see Monaghan winning Sam but in reality it's not going to happen, they'll give it a lash though that's for sure, might not be far away.

Replying To Ulsterman: "Most posters on here seem quite content for teams to go head to head with Dublin for 35/40 mins then watch Dublin go up into second gear and win by q dozen or more. Is that your idea of great entertainment?" Are you literally talking to yourself? There's no one here saying the game as a whole was a great game, but don't let that get in the way of your 'us vs the rest' bigotry. Yourself and the lad who had a little wobble about some radio station's name ought to start ye're own website. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 02/07/2023 17:49:51 2491420 Link

Replying To TheFlaker: "A second half lesson there. Absolutely no excuses. Dublin and Kerry the 2 big guns the rest still chasing." Exact same as yesterday's game , looked forward to second half and then blew out of the water in 15 minutes. O Shea going off was a difference.

Can't get over him taking AOS off. He should have been put into the square. McStay should have started the same 15 as last week. martinjoe (Mayo) - Posts: 499 - 02/07/2023 17:56:11 2491423 Link
Replying To Saynothing: "Exact same as yesterday's game , looked forward to second half and then blew out of the water in 15 minutes. O Shea going off was a difference." No harm but the Dublin and Kerry games were both boring as shite. At least Armagh and Monaghan had some excitement to it Jjoniel79 (Monaghan) - Posts: 146 - 02/07/2023 18:01:28 2491426 Link
Kerry have the hardest draw, Dublin can rotate players out and coast into final, Kerry will have to keep the pressure up. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2014 - 02/07/2023 18:02:57 2491427 Link
Replying To Ulsterman: "Most posters on here seem quite content for teams to go head to head with Dublin for 35/40 mins then watch Dublin go up into second gear and win by q dozen or more. Is that your idea of great entertainment?" Well it was much more entertaining than two of the other games that we suffered this weekend. But look, as you said before yourself, if you want entertainment go to the circus. Regardless of who won in that Dublin Mayo game, both teams played open football, great foot passing, great fielding, fast transition, intensity, physicality, great scores. Compared to the tortoise v snail affairs that we saw over the past couple of days, I'll take that Mayo - Dublin game any day. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 02/07/2023 18:08:14 2491428 Link

Personally I loved the Armagh Monaghan game. Equal teams who were up for it & with belief. (Although I have a Monaghan bias to be fair :-)) P.Mckenna (Louth) - Posts: 105 - 02/07/2023 18:15:49 2491433 Link
Replying To Saynothing: "Kerry have the hardest draw, Dublin can rotate players out and coast into final, Kerry will have to keep the pressure up." That Monaghan team drew with Derry a few weeks ago, so I wouldn't be saying they're that far behind them. I expect Dublin and Kerry to get through, but Monaghan won't make it easy for the Dubs. Anyone coasting coasting at this stage of the championship will be found out. They can coast after the hard work is done. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2042 - 02/07/2023 18:15:50 2491434 Link

Replying To Saynothing: "Kerry have the hardest draw, Dublin can rotate players out and coast into final, Kerry will have to keep the pressure up." Monaghan beat Tyrone in Ulster so I presume that there'll be no coasting. Dublin could underestimate them which is a real danger. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 02/07/2023 18:19:15 2491439 Link
Replying To Saynothing: "Kerry have the hardest draw, Dublin can rotate players out and coast into final, Kerry will have to keep the pressure up." Kerry will fancy it and that will suit Derry just fine. Sit in, try to frustrate and put Chris's McKaigue on David Clifford like glue. Am I right in thinking Paudie Clifford misses this? Not sure we have the firepower to turn Kerry over if I am being honest. Jazzyjeff (Derry) - Posts: 156 - 02/07/2023 18:23:09 2491440 Link

Mayo beat in Connacht QF, beat in Al QF and third in the AI group. Very little progress this year. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 802 - 02/07/2023 18:28:02 2491442 Link
Replying To foreveryoung: "Well done yesterday, Mick. All Kerry have to do now is turn up and collect the cup on the big day; a bit like 2002 and 2003. All joking aside, they're some machine when they get into full operation, and I don't think that yesterday was them at actual full throttle. There's more to come, I feel!" Thanks Forever and hope you are right. CiarraiMick (Dublin) - Posts: 3676 - 02/07/2023 18:30:18 2491445 Link
