I hope this doesn't come across as bitter but watching Cork yesterday really hammered home how poor we were in Ballybofey. That match is the big question for me this year. Dublin in Croke Park will always be a battle and they kept fighting last Sunday and were just beaten by the better team on the day.
But Cork at home we were cruising, to lose it like we did... who knows maybe we'd have been beaten out the gate this weekend anyway but there will be questions about that game in my mind for a long time.

Replying To AnCrúiscínLán: "It may sound harsh, but the losing of the game was when in total control, Shane Walsh trying to be fancy in front of goal and losing possession, leading to Liam Silke cynically fouling and giving Dublin a penalty and picking up a black card. Had Galway won, it would only have been delaying the enevitable.. A rebuild now required." A rebuild required is the first thing that comes into my mind. Was so similar to the way Galway lost the Quarter-final to Meath last year no progress from that. A solid defence under the old rules is anything but the last two years and the goalkeeper and defensive issue Galway have had the last two years was strangely ignored by people tipping them to win the All-Ireland

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 legendzxix: "I think people saw today why I was warning about Tyrone all winter. A seriously tough competitor. Between Armagh, Tyrone and Donegal - Tyrone gave Kerry the tougher game last year. A lot of people underestimated that going into the final last year. Kerry were more battle hardened last year after Armagh and Tyrone." have to admire the patronising kerry supporters. Great stock when winning.

Congrats to Dublin. A fully deserved win. Had the better of our kickout, in the same way they did in Pearse Stadium last year. We've learned absolutely nothing over the past 5 years and got what we deserved.
We've thrown away so many 5 or 6 point leads at this stage, I knew the game was far from over when we got the goal.
Hope ye have everyone fit for the semi-final and give it a right lash.

Firstly congratulations to Louth. In truth they were the better side all game showed great heart and energy losing a man so early and good luck to them. I hope they make the final. On to us yes we could won if we'd managed last 5 mins better but think the summer caught up with us with injuries games played today. Apart from.sesmic loss of beggan Karl Gallagher not playing was huge as hes a superb athlete who suits croke park. We have been v unlucky this season with injuries to key men . These lads owe monaghan nothing and got every last drop out of themselves making quarter finals but in reality with beggan out and an already patched up midfield we weren't going to realistically go much further. The goals kudos to o hanlon and extra man kept us in the game. Truth is we are v limited in midfield but having one of the best keepers in country negated that disadvantage and without him today was inevitable.

Replying To endgame: "Lover Roscommon haven't been in an All Ireland quarter final for 9 years.When you see the poor quality of Cork and Mayo today, it's hard not to feel that Ros are good enough to have been there today or tomorrow. Hopefully a mainly young Roscommon team learns from this year and drive on next year. This is the business end and that's where Roscommon need to be." We were in a Quarter Final 2 years ago v Armagh

Replying To Crashingwaves: "Poor Kerry, they usually praise any county but their own before a game, then when they've won the AI there's no stopping their self praise! Cute but transparent." That's not my experience of most Kerry fans. Generally they are very modest in victory and humble in defeat. They are the finest of sportsmen who celebrate their county's successes like the fans of every county . Yes they indulge in a bit of yerra but don't we all.

Replying To endgame: "Really sickening to see Mayo into an All Ireland semi final a couple of weeks after Roscommon exited the championship. I hope our players and management learn from what happened this year and that whatever about the Connacht championship, we see Croke Park next year and that Roscommon's focus next year is on peaking for the All Ireland series. Best of luck to Galway tomorrow. It's now or never for that Galway team to win Sam." I recall you posting two years ago on here after Roscommon played in Croke Park In All-Ireland quarter-final that you would swap that for winning a Connacht title.
Connacht was won this year and now in hindsight won by beating probably two All-Ireland semi-finalists making it arguably one of the hardest Connacht titles won.
Roscommon weren't that far off v Tyrone real fine margin stuff and but for debatable calls late on Tyrone could easily have beaten All-Ireland champions and favourites Kerry today.
Main thing Roscommon players and management need to find out is why they were so flat against Monaghan it went totally against the form and level of Roscommon performances coming into that game.

Well we didn't push on when we had the chance but absolutely every 50/50 call went the dubs way. I can accept their penalty being given IF we get one for a similar foul later on but no not the case. Long winter ahead decisions to be made

Replying To Square_B: "You be sick if you supported Roscommon, watching a poor Mayo team headed for a All Ireland Semi Final." Roscommon won their all Ireland though this year. Connacht is the limit of their capabilities. Fair play to them they gave it a good go but were found out by a superior yet very limited team in the all Ireland series. Galway and Mayo as is tradition flying the Connacht flag. For the rest of us three it is dreaming of a minor trophy
