Massive performance by Louth! Fully deserved! Incredible performance! They've kicked on from winning Leinster and have grown into this All Ireland championship.

Replying To CiarraiMick:  "Thank you Saynothing.A great game between two fine teams.Not good for the heart but thrilled with the win.We got the rub of the green today no doubt and if I was a Tyrone man Id be devaststed.What a cameo from McCurry.Tyrone were class yesterday and football was the winner in a good clean game.Canavans a huge loss and if either was there then Id probably be congratulating you Saynothing."
Proud of them all but main thing was they didn't let us down. Brilliant, to be going toe to toe with Kerry is always a joy. King Conn deserves an All Star for his performances this year. All the best CiarraiMick in your next matches and we will surely meet again next year in the Championship.

What a team Louth are just refuse to be beaten, hopefully can keep it going. Supporters played their part and semi final will be some day out.

Outstanding stuff from Louth. 14 men from from the 6th minute unreal stuff and what a way for them to reach a rare semi-final

Is it just me or is the quality of the Monaghan/Louth match far superior to the Dublin/Galway match.

That was fantastic by Louth and hopefully that will inspire many smaller counties to do whatever Louth have been doing since Covid.

The team we most expected to be the next Louth, Offaly, have yet to really kick on from their underage success so hopefully they can improve next year.

Westmeath as well, could have beaten Monaghan last time out so there should be improvement in them too

Fair play to Louth and their supporters best team on the day, best of luck in the semi
Felt sorry for young Mooney in goals, was ready every time for a quick kick out but nobody showed for him
Second game like a no contact challenge match

Commenting before the draw. Dublin have found form in their home league ground at a crucial stage of the championship. I thought Galway would have managed the game better going down the stretch. They didn't kick on. Disappointing for them. Especially after last year where they exited at the quarter final stage as well.

Replying To hlynch12:  "Have 200 on

Kerry
Galway
Mayo
Monaghan

Kerry and Galway will be walkovers
Monaghan and Mayo could be close."
We'll have a whip round for you.

Don't know how the semi final draw was made.

Because Dublin could not play Louth they were put in a bowl together. This meant that Kerry and Mayo were put into a separate bowl. This immediately excluded a potential semi final of Kerry v Mayo this should not have been the case.
As a result it ended up Louth v Mayo and Dublin v Kerry.

But why was a potentia semi final Kerry v Mayo be excluded.
Am I missing something?
