Replying To gunman: "It is ironic that people on the forum are lamenting Big Jack's "hoof ball" tactics while at the same time there seems to be a yearning for the return of "hoof ball" to Gaelic Football." You do realise you can't catch the ball in soccer but you can in Gaelic football therefore top coaches in soccer don't advocate kicking the ball up in the air… simple really… ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 3029 - 04/07/2024 22:31:22 2556988 Link
Replying To legendzxix: "Galway better not let Donegal dominate the game in the Donegal way. Armagh will be a tough opponent for Kerry. Once upon a time Kerry beat Armagh in extra time of a replay. Galway then won an All-Ireland the year after and Armagh won an All-Ireland the year after that." Possibly a typo there. It was Galway that Kerry beat in that replay, not Armagh. anotheralias (Galway) - Posts: 955 - 05/07/2024 11:12:02 2557031 Link
Replying To anotheralias: "Possibly a typo there. It was Galway that Kerry beat in that replay, not Armagh." Sorry lad, he is totally correct. Kerry beat Armagh in extra time in a replay of the 2000 semi then beat Gslway after a replay in the final. Galway won in 01 and Armagh in 02. For 5 years in a row Armagh or the team that knocked them out won the All Ireland . Cant see past a Donegal/Armagh final this year.

Replying To anotheralias: "Possibly a typo there. It was Galway that Kerry beat in that replay, not Armagh." I'm assuming he's referring to 2000, when kerry beat armagh after a replay, then beat galway after a replay in the final, galway then won it in 01 and armagh in 02. It's kind of moot anyways, was a quarter of a century ago and won't have much bearing on what happens next weekend. Galway9801 (Galway) - Posts: 1942 - 06/07/2024 08:20:35 2557149 Link
Replying To ForeverBlue2: "You do realise you can't catch the ball in soccer but you can in Gaelic football therefore top coaches in soccer don't advocate kicking the ball up in the air… simple really…" I would be fairly certain that I know more about soccer than you do. gunman (Donegal) - Posts: 1126 - 06/07/2024 20:10:29 2557277 Link
Replying To anotheralias: "Possibly a typo there. It was Galway that Kerry beat in that replay, not Armagh." Kerry beat Armagh after extra time of the replayed All-Ireland semi-final. At the time it was the last straight knockout championship before the qualifiers. Kerry won it the hard way beating both Armagh and Galway after replays. No surprise really that both Galway and Armagh went on to win. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8289 - 07/07/2024 09:12:21 2557332 Link
Replying To gunman: "I would be fairly certain that I know more about soccer than you do." Well then put that supposedly good knowledge to use and don't be posting rubbish about hoofed balls as there is absolutely no comparison to Gaelic football and soccer in that regard… ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 3029 - 07/07/2024 09:23:14 2557333 Link
Donegal - Division 2 champions, Ulster champions and group winners. Galway - Connacht winners. Armagh - group winners. Kerry - Munster champions, group winners and a 100% record so far in championship. Galway have forwards who are difficult to handle when fit and on form. Donegal have played well. There are doubts as to whether they have the kicking game required to be a difference. Armagh have lost penalty shootouts but the games have ended in draws. Very tough to beat. A good defence and good forwards. Kerry will be hoping for the best. All three of their rivals will be quietly confident. 15 points might have been good enough to make the semi-final. Unlikely to be enough to make the final against an Armagh team who can get goals. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8289 - 07/07/2024 14:58:09 2557398 Link
Thank god for the hurling. tireoghainabu (Tyrone) - Posts: 338 - 07/07/2024 20:22:23 2557520 Link
Replying To tireoghainabu: "Thank god for the hurling." Plenty of hand passing over the weekend in hurling but they call it a skill. People have a mindset against football and love to moan. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2150 - 07/07/2024 22:41:34 2557559 Link
Replying To Saynothing: "Plenty of hand passing over the weekend in hurling but they call it a skill. People have a mindset against football and love to moan." Maybe it's because it's pure rubbish played at a snail's pace compared to hurling…. would that be it I wonder…? ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 3029 - 08/07/2024 10:17:06 2557631 Link
Replying To Saynothing: "Plenty of hand passing over the weekend in hurling but they call it a skill. People have a mindset against football and love to moan." A lot of handpassing and even more throws CiarraiMick (Dublin) - Posts: 3844 - 08/07/2024 11:08:04 2557648 Link
Micky Harte steps down as Derry manager. Are you happy now Joe Brolly. Good luck Micky whatever you do. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2150 - 08/07/2024 16:20:42 2557751 Link
Replying To Saynothing: "Micky Harte steps down as Derry manager. Are you happy now Joe Brolly. Good luck Micky whatever you do." Maybe Brolly should put his name forward for the job since he's an expert on everything. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11409 - 08/07/2024 18:51:57 2557807 Link

Replying To CiarraiMick: "A lot of handpassing and even more throws" The biggest issue last weekend was players being pulled up for throwing when replays showed they actually handpassed it properly. Last weekends hurling was an absolute joy to behold and if the football this weekend is even half as fast paced, free flowing and entertaining as that I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Careful now Galway, you might upset a few people on here looking for a game to be free flowing and entertaining. tireoghainabu (Tyrone) - Posts: 338 - 09/07/2024 15:56:58 2558065 Link

Replying To tireoghainabu: "Thank god for the hurling." If you don't want to watch the football don't bother. Switch the tv off. Scenicparish (Donegal) - Posts: 408 - 09/07/2024 21:34:01 2558117 Link
