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 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.

Does anyone know why a lot of posts on here don't get uploaded? It seems random enough it's hard to know what can be written that is acceptable.

At least we are still in with a shot at losing another All Ireland final not like Galway

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!!

Replying To Marooned:  "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."
I'm curious why no one is talking about your management team? A big part in all this and to be honest, I'd be thanking them for their service at this stage.

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 !

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.

We will do a whip around for the poor snapper.

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.

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

Tyrone should have beaten Kerry, its amazing how match officials can turn the tide of a game around.

Tyrone vs Kerry
Galway vs Dublin
Donegal v Cork

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.

Replying To farneygael3:  "Gabriel on the radio saying if we had Rory we would have won. No, we had 15 v 14 for 92% of the game and lost by 3."
Not surprised with that remark he's been at it all year talking about player not there than focusing on the players available to him.

Bad day in Croke Park for both Monaghan,Galway both with big opportunities to win and got deserved defeats.

Hatred of Mayo and Dublin. Mayo and Dublin have served up some of the most memorable finals this quarter century

Replying To WanPintWin:  "Whatever about the Sunday Game in its current state, I'd have to disagree that getting rid of Brolly has made it worse. He offered very little insight into anything and just kept throwing out the same generalisations most week. His attempts at 'stirring the pot' had become very boring. His pretence that he was an advocate of pure football was also nonsense, given that he'd lauded a more defensive style for years before that."
100% agree on Joe Brolly, initially I found him to be a funny counter to Pat Spillane, but as years passed by, particularly after Sky Sports showed us how the game should be analyzed, it was hard to go back to listening to the 3 dinosaurs and listening to the incoherent Joe Brolly week after week.

I'm not a fan of Joanne Cantwell, nothing personal, she just doesn't seem a good fit as host of the Sunday Game. I would prefer Jacqui Hurley, she seems to let the pundits do their thing and chair matters in a much more subtle way.

Wow what a win.
To follow up victory over Donegal with a win over a much fancied Galway team, is not what most would have expected from the Dubs 2 weeks ago.
The return of our manager, from an extremely harsh 3 month suspension is no coincidence to this turnaround tbh.

I felt we should have been further ahead at HT tbf, but when we were down by 6pts with only 13mins left, I thought we had blown it.

Yet again Con top scored for the Dubs, today with 1-07.

We even scored x4 2 pointers. ;o)

Not sure what is happening with Bugler and Lahiff - no game time today at all…?!

Great to see a Full House of over 82,00 in Croker.
And the Hill in full voice again.

Some achievement keeping Shane Walsh to just 1 point.

The next day out with be much tougher.
Very happy with the draw.
If we are to lose to them, it is much better that it is n a semi final rather than a final.
And it is not only me who feels this way.

There is always hope of course, but they will be odds on favourites to make in 2 in a row now that we have knocked out 2 serious challengers to them.

Very happy with the way Ger is developing this squad.
Getting to an All Ireland Semi Final is definitely ahead of expectations for this year.

Finally a word too on the Louth support today. Delighted for them. They have a good chance now of making it to an All Ireland Final."
Hopefully with the additional rest and handling their progress in training, they will both be match ready for the next outing. Dublin will need to have just about everything in their favour. Thankfully today, apart from some tired bodies and a few knocks, they all looked to be OK.
Now for some well earned recovery after the last few weeks.

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.
