Massive performance by Louth! Fully deserved! Incredible performance! They've kicked on from winning Leinster and have grown into this All Ireland championship. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 9901 - 28/06/2026 15:27:32 2682416 Link
Fantastic win for Louth.Very hard for Rory Beggan and Monaghan but Louth were superb.Some Louth crowd in Croke park.There must be no one left in Louth CiarraiMick (Dublin) - Posts: 4203 - 28/06/2026 15:29:00 2682417 Link
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. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2806 - 28/06/2026 15:33:31 2682419 Link

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. seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2254 - 28/06/2026 15:40:27 2682428 Link
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 Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 4018 - 28/06/2026 15:46:23 2682432 Link

Is it just me or is the quality of the Monaghan/Louth match far superior to the Dublin/Galway match. Wally (Tyrone) - Posts: 940 - 28/06/2026 16:24:41 2682449 Link
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 eoghan6688 (Galway) - Posts: 170 - 28/06/2026 16:30:39 2682451 Link
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 mhunicean_abu (Monaghan) - Posts: 1096 - 28/06/2026 16:31:02 2682452 Link

Replying To ohwow: "Aww where are the amusing comments gone from you? Have they gone the way of your county's all Ireland dreams hmm?" Off to the Tailteann forum lad. We won a bit this year?

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. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 9901 - 28/06/2026 18:01:45 2682499 Link
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. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2806 - 28/06/2026 18:18:26 2682517 Link
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? letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 919 - 28/06/2026 18:21:06 2682521 Link
