Replying To Square_B:  "Ah will ya stop. I've never seen a worse Mayo team in an All Ireland Semi Final. All said, both Galway & Mayo have been no great shakes in the championship and yet here we are. Neither of them will lay a hand on Kerry that's for sure."
Mayo team of 04 and 06 the worst to make a final never mind a semi final. People love to hate Mayo. It's embarrassing on here. It's overall a young team who will be around for a few years. If they can sort midfield out they can be very good. Give them some credit instead of being annoyed they are winning games.

Replying To BarneyGrant:  "If Tyrone can put it up to them so can other teams. Your own team beat them out the gate.

Tyrone obviously didn't go out with the mentality that it was a foregone conclusion..

Neither will whoever meets them next...."
That game will be worth a month of training sessions for Kerry! No doubt the Dubs would put it up to Kerry, if they get to meet. Dublin always relish a crack at the Kingdom.

Otherwise, I don't see anyone laying a paw on them.

I don't see what's patronising about that. Everything he said was true

Some very young players in the Mayo team. Some might say Mayo are in bonus territory now.

The salty comment from some of our Connacht neighbours on this forum are great to read. Good luck to Galway today.

Replying To Saynothing:  "Great game, Kerry are top of the tree but I knew Tyrone weren't going out to lie down. People were raving about Armagh all year yet an under par Tyrone should have beat them. Kicked themselves out of it today. Good luck with the rest of the year."
Thanks! I was waiting for the rematch all year. Was always going to be a blockbuster. Game gets game. Respect.

A word on Mayo from the game before...
Kerry and Mayo had a similar league last year. Both had to win on the final day to avoid the drop. When the dust had settled, both were in the league final. Mayo had a disappointing result for them in Round 1 against Cavan but responded to that setback. It was a late Donegal score that squeezed Mayo out of the championship last year.
Andy Moran was starting from a reasonable position of strength IMO. A side just nudged out last year. Mayo have grown into this year's championship.

Read thy title of this topic, it's Championship 2026, not about running down teams from other years. Grow up.

Replying To Drax_the_destroyer:  "The obsession you have for Roscommon remain very odd.

Roscommon won Connacht Senior,U20 and Minor trophies this year and remained in Division 1they had much worse seasons. So reality than dreaming.

Leitrims dream lives on.

1994 since winning the Connacht senior title and haven't reached the final since 2000.

1991 since you won a U20/21 Connacht title and last final 2014.

1998 since winnig Connacht Minor and last final 2002.

Roscommon have showed Leitrim what a county of less resources and size can do."
Begob you know loads about Leitrim football, are you obsessing about us hmm?

They look far from finished article and defensively miles away from the likes of Keegan and co but what an inside forward line and exciting goalkeeper.

If Kerry had went last night they'd have as good a chance as anybody.
That win may awaken the throngs back.

Enjoy the month ahead.

It would make you wonder why some people watch sport at all when it makes them so angry and unhappy.
Plenty other things they could be doing instead of ranting on social media !!
Mad stuff

Replying To JimB1991:  "Of course teams won't go out with that mentality but just the way I see it. Kerry are likely to kick on to another level again now they have a break and had a run out in Crone Park. Remember too that a lot of their boys are only a game ow two in after coming back from injuries.
Hope I'm wrong and we see a really competitive end to the year."
Where is Crone Park Clare? Your Mayo might not be competitive but I would expect Galway to be should get the opportunity to meet.

A semi final will bring on a lot of those players and yous have found a great young goalkeeper too

Louth deserve to win this after some dodgy decisions.

Thank you Saynothing.A great game between two fine teams.Not good for the heart but thrilled with the win.We got the rub of the green today no doubt and if I was a Tyrone man Id be devaststed.What a cameo from McCurry.Tyrone were class yesterday and football was the winner in a good clean game.Canavans a huge loss and if either was there then Id probably be congratulating you Saynothing.
