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

People from outside Mayo are obsessed with Mayo. If they lose they are slated. If they win they are slated. It's so weird the amount of headspace they take up in the heads of so called neutrals. Even with a young squad and a new manager people are raging that they are in a semi final. Bizarre.

Replying To systematic: "Gut wrenching.
All saying we let it slip when 6 up, but dubs got 2 soft frees to get back to 3, and then Shane Walsh was fouled by Scully before the penalty.
No penalty, stand by that. And black card one out best defender might as well have been a red.....
Then Maher gets no penalty, which is shocking call. The advantage would have been to get a penalty!
Kieran Molloy had best game for Galway.
Dylan fantastic but should have scored his goal.
Maher real die on his feet man.
Darcy really stepped up on kickouts in 2nd half." I'm sorry about all the times I cursed Kieran Molloy in my head. He stood up today. At least now I can enjoy the football.

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.

If Cork had backed up their win after having two weeks to prepare, you might have thought they were finally on the way up. Instead, they reverted to being the Cork we've seen too often.
Regardless of what anyone says about style of play or changes to the backroom team, that was simply a very poor performance from Donegal. The players were well below their usual standards. Scoring just 1-13 was not a good return, and no home team in the All-Ireland series scored less. In front of around 16,000 Donegal supporters and only a few hundred Cork fans, it was hugely disappointing. Though in truth, based on that display, any of the teams playing this weekend would probably have beaten them.
I trust the players have had a few days to switch off and recharge. Now it's over to the club championship and hopefully it's a good one. And with a proper break, hopefully the county team can come back later in the year refreshed, reset, and ready to go again.

Another fine win and thankfully, we had players available that were in doubt before the match.
The new penno rule was a huge factor but what a challenge, and huge desire shown by Paddy Small to start the turnover attack that led to it.
Kerry will rightly be favourites and deservedly so, Dubs will need to find a season best performance and hope for Kerry to have a below par performance, maybe miss a few they'd normally take. Whatever happens, all credit to Dublin, its been a great few weeks and they deserve plenty of credit, Ger Brennn being back has been an undeniable factor. Let's get some 2011 spirit back into us!

Fair play to Jamie Mooney today. An absolutely massive ask for a young man at 20 years of age. We won 60% of our own kickouts today. In the Galway game they won less even with giants out the pitch.
We have become used to Beggan threading the needle landing it on boys chests. Put 80% of other keepers in for Monaghan today exact same result as we don't have anyone to win high ball in the middle apart from Mc carville.
Jamie can hold is head high. Be better days in a Monaghan jersey for him.

Replying To WanPintWin: "It wasn't unreal. We pretty much saw the same against Roscommon. 6 up with 10 minutes left in that one. We almost let Westmeath catch us as well. A 9 point lead with 6 minutes left wasn't safe in that case. Only for Comer won the last kickout, they could very well have levelled it.
I'm not going to put the boot in to anyone individually, but we saw some of the same issues we've been looking at for 6 years. We all know what the major one is and we're still no better at it. We've been backboned by a strong U21 All-Ireland finalist team in 2017 and an U20 All-Ireland winning team in 2020, plus a few very talented older players.
This coupled with Dublin's inevitable slide from their peak, left us with opportunities to win an All-Ireland but we didn't manage it. I'll never question the effort the lads put in and their resilience has been shown many times, but we've come up short and it's of our own making.
We've been poor underage for the last number of years. There's no arguing otherwise. Some people think that's harsh, but it's the reality. It's very difficult to see how we're going to have a better chance in the next few years. The drought from 66 to 98 isn't far off being eclipsed. I'd love to know how many championship games Galway have lost as favourites in the last 5 years. I'd be surprised if there's a team which has lost more, especially big knockout ones.
We're a big well-resourced county. Our return at the top level is extremely poor in both codes, given this. People on here slag Mayo. Our own record is awful.
I know everyone is doing their best for the betterment of Galway football, but a county if our size shouldn't be going 4 or 5 years without a provincial underage title. I worry for the next few years. It'll make it all the tougher when we know we didn't capitalise on the talent we had." 100%
People have been turning a blind eye at how poor we've been at underage since 2020 really. Mainly because we've had a senior team competing for All-Ireland titles. But that run seems over now and who are the players that are going to replace the likes of Conroy, Walsh, Comer, etc? I haven't seen them yet.
