Hard to believe Tomas ose is coaching underage teams for Kerry. he seems a bit out of touch with the modern game

No so sure anymore tbh - I think Armagh after yesterday, might beat them now.

Congrats to Galway and commiserations to Donegal.It takes too to tango and a really entertaining game.Feel for Oisin Gallen but fair play to Galway getting over the line with Shane Ealsh and Comer quiet.Dylan McHugh John Maher and Paul Conroy excellent.

Panned out just as I thought. Galway are just a wee bit ahead of Donegal and are battle hardened the last few years. Donegal are too conservative at times and need to cut loose more often.

That's just built into a Kerryman. Predestined in his mind that Kerry would be the victors (and it usually is)!

Comghairdeas do Ghaillimh.

Literally a bounce of the ball in it with a fluke of a goal being the difference.

A novel pairing in the final and another close game in store.

A great weekend of football.

3/3 fluke goals in the 2024 semis. All slightly mishit point efforts pitching short, all found the net eventually.

A great match and commiserations to Donegal. Could have gone either way and we did well to shade it.
Tough loss to take for ye, with that very odd goal the difference between us.

Mc Guiness's scientific football just caught up with him..l didn't have a plan when he needed a goal. dirge football is dead. He made the most of the players he had. Galway bate them with their 2 shooters carrying injuries.
The 2 semis were like night and day. Such flare in yesterday's match.
Nothing like it today.
If the rule makers don't change it up. Even the die hards will walk away

Fully agree - a lot of the football is a hard watch these days. (Even in club football)
Players rarely take on their man - game is now more about not losing possession.

Yeah true, hadn't made that connection.

Neither side created a goal scoring chance today either.

I thought Galway looked very strong defensively despite some brilliant Donegal points in the first half.

Well done Galway - even though we play you in the final - I do like this team and in Walsh and Comer are 2 of the best players anywhere and if any age.
Donegal - what a story - you have to give J McG credit - what a season and considering where they were last year

Replying To ArmaghAndProud:  "Absolutely buzzing.
What a game.
Blaines Hughes kickouts immense.

To the 3 slabbers from Belfast in cusack 708 in their kerry tops who spent the full game foul mouthing abusing Armagh - Get that right up you!

Mad ferious intensity from both teams. Unlucky to the Kerry folks, top team and i'm glad we hung in there during those goal chances.

The huge Armagh support helped get us over the line.
Good luck to the 2 teams tomorrow!"
Congrats Armagh and Proud.Well done yesterday and deserved it.Armagh fans were class too.Look forward to meeting again.
