My heartfelt condolences to all in Galway GAA on the passing of Paul Clancy.
He was a tough footballer who played the game with class.
Following his playing career, by all accounts, he was exactly the kind of person every GAA club and county needs, doing hard work behind the scenes for the next generation.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Replying To Farneyblueandwhite: "As usual most pundits tipping louth to win so we go again as underdogs plenty of noise about louth but reality is dublin we're a shambles when louth won and armagh were poor on the day for 1 reason or another Newbridge last year was really a 10 point win apart from a consolation goal near the end monaghan by 4 muineachan abu" Different gig this year. Last year you got a Louth team that had reached the Holy Grail by winning Leinster for the first time in 68 years . They celebrated accordingly. The year before in Clones is a more accurate reflection of what will happen on Sunday.despite being played under the old rules that was a really good, competitive game that ended in a draw.

Replying To JimmyNail: "Very tough on Donal Casey having to retire from all football at just 24. Good interview with him in observer. Best wishes to him" Jeasus that is a rough one, but the alternative is bleak. A lucky man to be even standing up straight. Hopefully he will get into coaching and focus on that, god knows Leitrim needs every lad available to keep the game alive in the county.

Replying To hlynch12: "Micheal Byrnes back on the bench for Kerry." Burns got a easy time of it considering what he done to McHugh. Michael Murphy got some abuse. Kerry media works it magic again!

"All games free to air"
How about free admission to all games?
Why should loyal supporters have to pay while lazy armchair fans of all sports can watch games free on TV.

Kerry and Galway will be walkovers

It'll be a tough outing this weekend and I can't see much in it either way. Decision making in the last 10 will be crucial. We're not in the habit of beating Dublin in championship football and I think this one will go the wire. Dublin got a lot of joy last year from POCB on D'Arcy and they mopped up a lot of breaks. Ciarán Kilkenny was given the freedom of Pearse Stadium last year. We can't let him dictate like he did.
D'Arcy was exceptional against Westmeath, but he'll be up against a very different challenge on Sunday. We need to make sure we have plenty options for Gleeson.
If we can dominate around the middle, I think our forwards will take advantage. As we've seen all year though, momentum can swing massively in games. Even if we're a good few scores ahead, it's very unlikely the game will peter out comfortably.
At the end of the week where we lost a true legend of Maigh Cuilinn and Galway football, but more importantly a very good man, it would be a nice tribute in some way to Paul Clancy if we can get the job done. Sincere condolences to his family and all who were close to him.
Thug sé cuimhní dúinn a mhairfidh linn go deo. Suaimhneas síoraí dhá anam.

Crazy talk to start Thompson the lad has not played a competitive match all year an had an operation. If "fit" and has been training away would like see him in 26 and perhaps give him 15 mins. Thowing him straight in to Dubs in Croker would be crazy in my opinion.

With one leg Rory will play. Maybe half a leg. Such nonsense thinking he wouldn't be available despite sprinting off the pitch and down the tunnel last week with 4 minutes remaining.

Replying To eddieSize5Balls: "Being serious here, and this goes for everyone else who sees this comment. Can you name the players around the county that should be in the panel and who can help in big games?
I can only think of Niall O'Donnell.
I'm sure there's more but would like to know." I feel like Ethan Harkin would have been a good player to have in and around the panel.
McFadden Ferry and Ordhran Doherty also although I know they opted out.
From the season as a whole its a sore one to take when you consider in hind sight we got the league all wrong.
Monaghan and Tyrone could barely win a game and both are 1 game from a Semi Final which for Monaghan is actually highly likely.
I feel so bad for the lads there because we definitely left an all Ireland behind us in the last few years and to go again will be tough.

Replying To sligo joe: "Absolutely at each team's best on Sunday Donegal were beaten because Donegal's best was second best on the day, that is a big part of how a team's best is judged, how they perform on the big knock out stage.
Hypothetical results that a Donegal team of 24 or 25 might or might not have achieved, like Miley in Glenroe would say "Oh holy God".
I hope those fantasy football results are a comfort to you lol." One of the worst championship games I was ever at, really poor fare from both teams, poor execution of basic skills, kicking, handpassing from both teams. Lots of unforced errors.
Galway would have beaten the pick of both teams. I think Galway will beat dubs comfortable

Replying To Flemenstar200: "What you think Kickitout? Any word on Thompson ankle I hear he back running 2/3 weeks ago" Thompson being back running last 3-4 weeks I can't see many changes next day if Thompson is fit I' personally would start him and get as long as possible out of him it be better than bringing him as I think we have lots of game changer to come in , comer , McGrath, o Laoi Flahery the most area that would concern me is our lack of real pace at 5 and 6 u need to pin dubs back I'd definitely like see maybe o Laoi or flaherty coming into half back line after 50 mins , one thing that won't work v dubs is if Galway load one side field for our own kickouts in reality it servers no purpose and last 2 matches in particular Galway in fairness have moved away from that , need keep Darcy , Tierney Maher separated on our own kickouts and maybe even try hit Mcdaid at times in the centre forward Chanel , match ups are big thing dubs have good inside forwards need keep Glynn , Hernon and silke in full back area at all times they our best man markers , also need stop Kilkenny and scully from supplying them u stop them at source u win match im Galway forwards will give Dublin plenty to think about also , Finnerty needs good game has gone off it a bit this year bar Kildare match , and we definitely need cut out kicking ball in goalie hands its killing us decision making will win this game

Replying To sligo joe: "Well if you look at the post I replied to and other posts that keep going on about a tired Donegal not being themselves, then yes I am of course selecting points that show Dublin also had problems to surmount on Sunday, there is a dominant line in many posts here suggesting that if Donegal wasn't tired they would have won, smacks a little bit of arrogance and is tiresome.
I am just pointing out that all teams have issues to address as the season goes on, sometimes a team can be unlucky on the day but that was not the case on Sunday." It's not arrogance to think we can play better than the last two weeks. We're Donegal supporters so obviously we're going to look at our lads and think about how they're doing
Dublin had a great plan for us and frankly made us look predictable. Even with that we pushed all the way although Dublin had their own problems. If the shooting boots were on yous would have won very handily I think.
Anyway I don't know why you're going looking for Donegal opinions to be annoyed at. Like you say everyone in person congratulated you and well done the Dubs. Are we supposed to just continue posting that or can we not think about what went wrong for us this year? Saying the squad looked off it or tired or something wasn't right, all that is Donegal people only talking about Donegal, not a comment on the Dubs.

Replying To Joeynyc: "You obviously don't understand what an all star is
Whittaker came off in at least 3 or 4 games. Wallace played great., but not even close to be an all star.
Brandon Kelly is miles the front runner.
You do realise he is top scorer in Ireland from play.
Unfortunately we're out. So that won't continue." Brandon is a wonderful player but hardly miles the front runner. a lot of your posts are very pro or defensive towards Brandon. obviously a miltownpass supporter :-)
