Can't for the life of me know why PJ brought in Mickey Graham and Galligan? They aren't the names you bring in if you are trying to win the Tailteann cup never mind Sam!!

The big backroom team, between them, have somehow failed to see that we have an issue between the posts. This team includes a specialist goalkeeping coach and former inter-county goalkeeper, who was recently an inter-county manager himself, and a former goalkeeping coach and goalkeeper, of this Parish, widely regarded as an expert in his field. How does that happen? That was the winning and losing of this game. And many games before it.

Replying To Monaghanmad123: "How much did Monaghan playing week on week effect the last 10/15 minutes with the game in the melting pot?
Even with the extra man, the players looked leggy and out on their feet. Louth definitely got more of an impact off their bench also. Louth subs scored 0-6 in the last 20 to Monaghan 0-2…" 3 out if the 4 teams that played in the quarter final went through after playing 3 weeks in a row. Dublin had extra time against Donegal las week and finished strongly and won.Monaghan did not look fit, nor did their mindsets look like a winning one. Still can't believe 14 men beat 15 in that heat in Croke park. I would say that's a first in the new rules!

Congrasts Louth, a great win for ye & deserved. A mighty performance by 14 men & a great support too.
Onwards & upwards for ye, but beware of Mayo...... they may have a poor record in finals, but they have a great record in semis!

Own kickout retention 48%, Dublin's 78%. Kerry, in their game, 88%. That's difference. That is the problem. That's it. Simple as. And this management team, some of them there many long years, cannot for the life of them face our glaring Achilles heal and sort it out. No use talking at this stage.

If getting Louth the Delaney wasn't enough but now getting Dublin to the All-Ireland Semi-Finals with all the setbacks from it like relegation to Div 2, his suspension, losing off the Leinster final and injury problems.
It's proven Ger Brennan is top coach in my book.

Replying To eddieSize5Balls: "Whoever plays Kerry in this years final will also be mauled" Tyrone should have beaten Kerry, its amazing how match officials can turn the tide of a game around.
Tyrone vs Kerry
Galway vs Dublin

Replying To Oddball: "I heard a mad one on the bar stool last night.
One of the lads said, if Joyce becomes available, he can see our CB dropping Dowd and going hard after Joyce!!
Fair play to Louth, but they certainly got the rub of the green over the championship.
There's only so far a bit of luck can bring you.....but I can see that luck continuing for them into the semi final.
I think they will beat Mayo." Stay away from that bar !

Mayo GAA Thread - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Gaa_lover: "The performance in that Connacht semi-final especially 2nd half wasn't good enough from Mayo and plenty of Mayos own supporters said that at the time. You learn lots from defeats and it's what Mayo have done and the changes management made to the starting 15 was a gamble that paid off.
I said before the Meath match it would be sliding door moment for Mayo. Cork in Quarter-final and now Louth in a semi-final you really couldn't ask for a better path way to another All-Ireland final and that's no disrespect to Cork and Louth.
The young Mayo players especially Kobe and Beirne have really stood out and worth noting Paddy Durcan 32, Diarmuid O'Connor 31,Stephen Coen 31, Conor Loftus 31, Ryan O'Donoghue 28,Jordan Flynn 28,Tommy Conroy 27,David McBrien 26 Jack Coyne 26 etc plenty of established and experienced players to play alongside.
Mayo aren't hot favourites for this upcoming semi-final but will be favourites with all Bookies and their punters to beat Louth. Were favourites to beat Meath,Cork and won. Once in the last 4 you aim to reach the final and I expect Mayo to do that now. Once in the final who knows on the day? A sending off or injury to David Clifford and things can swing in Mayos favour very quickly." Mayo are favourites with the Bookies (only just) but all pundits will tip Louth.
Louth don't have as strong a midfield as Cork, Tyrone, Dublin or Kerry - so Mayos biggest weakness might not be as exposed the next day.
It could go either way.
We had Fermanagh, Westmeath, Kildare and Tipperary as a route to the final in 2016 - then took the "greatest team ever" to a replay and definitely should have won both days. This team isn't as good as that one, but is far more lethal in front of goal.
Either way, it wont be boring

Next year we will hopefully see Max Maguire play more of a role along with Matthew Carolan and Tom Doherty. I thought Doherty deserved minutes over the last few games after his u20 campaign. He has Both feet, massive scoring threat the man has it all.

Your forwards are bang average, Daire Cregg is no better than Mooney in Monaghan, Murtagh no better than Mc carron, Heneghan miles behind O hanlon and that just using Monaghan as a basis to compare. Totally overhyped players, totally. Daire Cregg talking about winning all Irelands, donie smith on podcasts talking about semi finals, Its been delusional and hyped for the last 15 yrs." Up Louth's 14 men.

Replying To Square_B: "Of course ye are, I'd say ye are still talking about 'Dublin Joe' and giving 'Big Mick' slaps on the back for the big auld legend he is." I was joking SB. Plenty of Mayo suporters will have loads of excuses if we lose the semi or get to final and lose. Especially from a keyboard. Hard to improve if we often look for excuses rather than find out what didn't get us over the line and try and fix it. The scoreboard never lies.

6 Teams Left In A Hurling May 24Th - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Tadhg2020: "I dont think that will happen. The round robin is far too successful in Munster. It generates 11m a season for the Munster Council and counties. There is no way that money is being left on the table. It would be naive to think otherwise and equally naive to think it would just transfer to another round robin or that MC would want/allow it to. Imo the provincial RR stays. Its what happens after that is whats up for grabs. I dont like 4th coming out of Munster. I think it damages the integrity of the competition. I think MC know this and that's why they are against it too. I think( subject to space in calender) it could go to 2 groups of 3(PC, PRU + 3rd) playing with top 2 to semi and final or something like that. I wouldnt be in favour tbh. I think its an awful lot of hurling and will affect quality and cause injuries especially for the Munster teams but its more likely option." 8 million this year. Don't know where your figure of 11 is coming from.
And is the "integrity" of the MC, ie the money in plain English, more important than the All Ireland Championship, or the future of the whole game of hurling?
There needs to be more intercounty hurling in the summer part of the intercounty window. Just from the point of view of promoting the game.

A big thanks to the players who brought such entertainment at the weekend.Sometimes in our dissatisfaction we forget the huge efforts the players go to to reach such heights and the skill in some of the scores and the flicking of the ball to the hand from the ground is so frequent now.Phenomenal speed and terrific heights in contesting the high ball.So lucky to watch top forwards like clifford,mulroy,o callaghan,mc curry and many more.You can keep your world cup.PS not forgetting defenders who are brilliant in attempting to deny the forwards.
