Can't for the life of me know why PJ brought in Mickey Graham and Galligan? They aren't the names you bring in if you are trying to win the Tailteann cup never mind Sam!!

If P.Joyce is to be kept on as Manager, surely Galway county board should send him on a coaching course. Sometimes he does'nt seem to grasp the basics. Example he's on the sideline wearing a Dublin blue tracksuit.

The game has been waiting a long time for a performance like that yesterday between Monaghan and Louth, Monaghan should not feel aggrieved or hard done by they were simply beaten by an unstoppable Louth side, I would go as far as saying should Louth have been playing Mayo, Kerry or Dublin on yesterday's performance they would have beaten the pick of the three, no disrespect meant, I'm simply saying on yesterday's performance Louth would be All Ireland champions, and why not.
Good luck to them from here on in.

The big backroom team, between them, have somehow failed to see that we have an issue between the posts. This team includes a specialist goalkeeping coach and former inter-county goalkeeper, who was recently an inter-county manager himself, and a former goalkeeping coach and goalkeeper, of this Parish, widely regarded as an expert in his field. How does that happen? That was the winning and losing of this game. And many games before it.

Replying To Monaghanmad123: "How much did Monaghan playing week on week effect the last 10/15 minutes with the game in the melting pot?
Even with the extra man, the players looked leggy and out on their feet. Louth definitely got more of an impact off their bench also. Louth subs scored 0-6 in the last 20 to Monaghan 0-2…" 3 out if the 4 teams that played in the quarter final went through after playing 3 weeks in a row. Dublin had extra time against Donegal las week and finished strongly and won.Monaghan did not look fit, nor did their mindsets look like a winning one. Still can't believe 14 men beat 15 in that heat in Croke park. I would say that's a first in the new rules!

Congrasts Louth, a great win for ye & deserved. A mighty performance by 14 men & a great support too.
Onwards & upwards for ye, but beware of Mayo...... they may have a poor record in finals, but they have a great record in semis!

A great weekend of football it has to be said.
Louth's win was extraordinary, fair play to them. That point near the end where Mulroy was gassed out, but still managed to flick the ball up, take a hit and pass it out to Ciaran Byrne for the score was magic. One of the scores of the Championship for me.
It will be a real loss to the GAA when Kobe leaves for Australia. Chutzpah, pazazz, audacity whatever you want to call it. he has it. Young Byrne was superb as well. Cork were disappointing but Mayo always looked a bit too strong in any case.
The semi-final is a novel pairing. I'd say Croke Park will be heaving for that one and it'll be a very tricky game to call.
Kerry and Tyrone was a right good ding-dong battle as well. Tyrone will definitely have regrets. Yes there were two very questionable decisions which went against them, but their wide count was the real killer. Donnelly and Dzzler were superb. Kerry will be glad of that good test, and their returning lads got more minutes into the legs. Dylan Geaney is moving into POTY category for me, another superb display from him.
Fair play to the Duns too. They're coming to the boil nicely these past few weeks when everyone was doubting them. I had a fear for Galway, that if Dublin were close with ten to go they'd be in bother. PJ complained about a few decisions afterwards, but I think Galwy were just a bit too passive in the first half. Another year of regrets for them.

That game was lost on the line. Plain and simple. Mooney should have been taken on as soon as Louth went to 14 and go for jugular as we had a 4 point lead and should have pushed on

Replying To Oddball: "I heard a mad one on the bar stool last night.
One of the lads said, if Joyce becomes available, he can see our CB dropping Dowd and going hard after Joyce!!
Fair play to Louth, but they certainly got the rub of the green over the championship.
There's only so far a bit of luck can bring you.....but I can see that luck continuing for them into the semi final.
I think they will beat Mayo." Stay away from that bar !

Galway supporter here, fair play to the Dubs, always thought that Niall Scully was under rated, he probably isn't among Dublin fans. He is your typical Dublin footballer of the last 15 years, only know what he is fully capable of when needed to step up, content to be one of the a cogs, when a cog is needed, but has the spark when that's needed also. Natural heir to James McCarthy, quietly getting on with it for years before it dawned on people what an incredible player he is

Own kickout retention 48%, Dublin's 78%. Kerry, in their game, 88%. That's difference. That is the problem. That's it. Simple as. And this management team, some of them there many long years, cannot for the life of them face our glaring Achilles heal and sort it out. No use talking at this stage.

If getting Louth the Delaney wasn't enough but now getting Dublin to the All-Ireland Semi-Finals with all the setbacks from it like relegation to Div 2, his suspension, losing off the Leinster final and injury problems.
It's proven Ger Brennan is top coach in my book.

A big thanks to the players who brought such entertainment at the weekend.Sometimes in our dissatisfaction we forget the huge efforts the players go to to reach such heights and the skill in some of the scores and the flicking of the ball to the hand from the ground is so frequent now.Phenomenal speed and terrific heights in contesting the high ball.So lucky to watch top forwards like clifford,mulroy,o callaghan,mc curry and many more.You can keep your world cup.PS not forgetting defenders who are brilliant in attempting to deny the forwards.

Next year we will hopefully see Max Maguire play more of a role along with Matthew Carolan and Tom Doherty. I thought Doherty deserved minutes over the last few games after his u20 campaign. He has Both feet, massive scoring threat the man has it all.

Replying To monaghanmad: "delusional stuff, when does this end. Your forwards are bang average, Daire Cregg is no better than Mooney in Monaghan, Murtagh no better than Mc carron, Heneghan miles behind O hanlon and that just using Monaghan as a basis to compare. Totally overhyped players, totally. Daire Cregg talking about winning all Irelands, donie smith on podcasts talking about semi finals, Its been delusional and hyped for the last 15 yrs." Up Louth's 14 men.

Replying To Gaa_lover: "The performance in that Connacht semi-final especially 2nd half wasn't good enough from Mayo and plenty of Mayos own supporters said that at the time. You learn lots from defeats and it's what Mayo have done and the changes management made to the starting 15 was a gamble that paid off.
I said before the Meath match it would be sliding door moment for Mayo. Cork in Quarter-final and now Louth in a semi-final you really couldn't ask for a better path way to another All-Ireland final and that's no disrespect to Cork and Louth.
The young Mayo players especially Kobe and Beirne have really stood out and worth noting Paddy Durcan 32, Diarmuid O'Connor 31,Stephen Coen 31, Conor Loftus 31, Ryan O'Donoghue 28,Jordan Flynn 28,Tommy Conroy 27,David McBrien 26 Jack Coyne 26 etc plenty of established and experienced players to play alongside.
Mayo aren't hot favourites for this upcoming semi-final but will be favourites with all Bookies and their punters to beat Louth. Were favourites to beat Meath,Cork and won. Once in the last 4 you aim to reach the final and I expect Mayo to do that now. Once in the final who knows on the day? A sending off or injury to David Clifford and things can swing in Mayos favour very quickly." Mayo are favourites with the Bookies (only just) but all pundits will tip Louth.
Louth don't have as strong a midfield as Cork, Tyrone, Dublin or Kerry - so Mayos biggest weakness might not be as exposed the next day.
It could go either way.
We had Fermanagh, Westmeath, Kildare and Tipperary as a route to the final in 2016 - then took the "greatest team ever" to a replay and definitely should have won both days. This team isn't as good as that one, but is far more lethal in front of goal.
Either way, it wont be boring
