Too much handpassing by Galway. Also a typical Shane Walsh big game performance. Not good enough. Mr Joyce, get your act together now! galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2625 - 29/06/2025 23:48:26 2622426 Link 0 |

Sure, and leave 15,000 of the Minor county supporters at home without tickets. Cop on.

There is a reason... DONEGAL.

Hell of performance especially 2nd half. the new rules or whatever the reason Armagh have been no where near as solid defensively this year. Antrim relegated to Div 4 scored 1-23. conceded 29 Donegal. 23 v Derry and 28 against Galway. Kerry once they destroyed the Armagh kick out 2nd half their forwards really went to town on them. 14 scores from 15 shots they got in one period. I'd agreed they should have too much for Tyrone but should Donegal overcome Meath Jim McGuinness will see it as a redemption for their 2014 AI final defeat.

Poor Tyrone will be first in line for the bashing from Kerry and neither Meath or Donegal can beat Kerry either. Too many fires to be dealt with. The GAA might as well give them the trophy now. Its as simple as that. Kerry will win All Ireland 25 border Gael (Monaghan) - Posts: 920 - 30/06/2025 08:40:32 2622470 Link 2 |

Why did Armagh not try a man mark O'Shea after ten minutes as he not put under enough pressure while kicking his 2 pointers and I believe it was O'Shea that desroyed Armagh and not Clifford. Could McGeeney or none of his back room team see this or was it just a case of having an A plan and no B plan?

I think Tyrone will be able to tie down both Clifford and O'Shea which will give them a good chance. Can Kerry produce another performance like yesterday in the semifinal? I think Tyrone will have their work done on Kerry and then certainly will not Kerry run over them like Armagh did.

Any idea of what time the days will be released today for the fixtures? Whyme923 (Donegal) - Posts: 38 - 30/06/2025 09:15:07 2622485 Link 0 |

Tyrone won't kick the ball out to them when the game is in the melting pot, if they can stick with them. Or go for goals with 15 minutes to go when they have good 2 point shooters. Kerry were impressive with 20 minutes to go and especially with more scoring threats than David Clifford. But I wouldn't crown them yet. I'd say it's 60/40 in their semi final. Not so many gave Tyrone a good chance of beating the Dubs. Similarly with Donegal, 60/40 over Meath. Meath will be wrongly written off again but it'd be silly to write them off. Improved defending rather than scoring threats could decide these semis.

Put it this way, if I was a kerry fan today, I would nearly be sitting back with a whiskey in one hand and a cigar in the other..... The endless amount of money available from multi billion Kerry Group, inc a state of the art FOC, Centre of Excellence. They are the best looked after county by a country mile via sponsorships. Most Senior Football All Ireland titles Most Minor Football All Irelands, and 2nd most in the u21/20 grade, behind Cork. 14 of the last 16 Munster senior football titles 7 of the last 9 Munster u20 titles 11 of the last 13 Munster minor titles It is domination. Throughout the Decade of the Dubs, we never had that domination at underage. Miles off it in fact. Take away the 9 recent All Ireland's Dublin won, and Kerry would have near double the amount of their nearest rival. And before kerry folk come on having a go - this isnt dissing them at all. Their senior team should be dominating this last 5 years with the players they have. Put it this way, IF, and it is a very massive if, they dont win Sam this year, JOC has to go. But they will win it...! And with the talent coming through..... you have to respect what they achieve. But getting back to your point - the Munster Football Championship - look at the stats at all grades..... Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4410 - 30/06/2025 09:42:24 2622494 Link 2 |

I am not so sure, Not so many gave Tyrone a good chance of beating the Dubs Very many predicted Dublin would struggle with Con injured, and so it turned out. And dont get me started on the 2 pointers..... ;o) Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4410 - 30/06/2025 09:49:24 2622499 Link 0 |

The Championship really only started this weekend after weeks and weeks of what could only be described as warm up meaningless matches … Monaghan and Armagh shot their loads trying to top their group with the false thinking that it was going to improve their chances but they both got totally over run by far smarter opposition.. Meath and Tyrone progressed in two terrible matches and their progress was as much to do with their ragged opponents as much as anything they actually did themselves…. both matches could have gone the other way… Tyrone will be much better the next day and Kerry didn't become world beaters over night.. they still have serious defensive problems… I would expect Donegal to overcome a Meath team that has done really well but have a central defensive line that's sure to leak goals … ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 4226 - 30/06/2025 10:17:41 2622519 Link 0 |

Meath team that has done really well but have a central defensive line that's sure to leak goals … Have you not seen how good Rafferty is.??? All Star material imo. Meath have been excellent and are getting better with each game as confidence grows. As for Tyrone, I dont think they can get much better tbh. Kerry will dominate them.

Still conceded 2 very simple goals… did you not see the ones Louth got on them… ? ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 4226 - 30/06/2025 11:10:37 2622553 Link 0 |

O'Shea got 12 points and Clifford got 7pts, 19pts between two forwards is some scoring in an AI Q-Final.

Conceded when Rafferty was off the pitch though. He came back on and natural order restored. That Louth game would never happen again. It was the perfect storm for Louth that day. All the stars aligned and revenge v Meath in a Leinster Final. It was a game that was meant to be, for them. Meath are improving with every game. Confidence and Belief. I think you are under estimating how good they are tbh. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4410 - 30/06/2025 12:25:19 2622588 Link 4 |

They learned from Louth defeat. Have conceded more goals but unbeaten since Leinster Final. Plenty of teams concede goals but it dents their confidence for the rest of the game and don't stay as focused as Meath have in those games.

Far to slow kicking the ball forward quick ball into forward have far more time and space to kick points no pressure on the Meath forwards at all clutch (Louth) - Posts: 18 - 30/06/2025 12:53:25 2622605 Link 0 |

Great matches at the weekend. Galway Meath was epic. Good news for Kerry is that their fans travelled and got behind the team. I am not a Kerry football fan, and would hope Tyrone will knock them out. But if any team can do it, it would be Donegal. Assuming they beat Meath that is. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2625 - 30/06/2025 13:01:03 2622619 Link 1 |

You'd have to make Kerry favs from here, they are lightly raced compared to the rest of us, Tyrone will pose them a serious test, I see the bookies have Kerry hot favs for that and it's hard to argue with that given the game they just played against Armagh.
