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.

If P.Joyce is to be kept on as Manager, surely Galway county board should send him on a coaching course. Sometimes he does'nt seem to grasp the basics. Example he's on the sideline wearing a Dublin blue tracksuit.

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 game has been waiting a long time for a performance like that yesterday between Monaghan and Louth, Monaghan should not feel aggrieved or hard done by they were simply beaten by an unstoppable Louth side, I would go as far as saying should Louth have been playing Mayo, Kerry or Dublin on yesterday's performance they would have beaten the pick of the three, no disrespect meant, I'm simply saying on yesterday's performance Louth would be All Ireland champions, and why not.
Good luck to them from here on in.

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 !

A great weekend of football it has to be said.
Louth's win was extraordinary, fair play to them. That point near the end where Mulroy was gassed out, but still managed to flick the ball up, take a hit and pass it out to Ciaran Byrne for the score was magic. One of the scores of the Championship for me.
It will be a real loss to the GAA when Kobe leaves for Australia. Chutzpah, pazazz, audacity whatever you want to call it. he has it. Young Byrne was superb as well. Cork were disappointing but Mayo always looked a bit too strong in any case.
The semi-final is a novel pairing. I'd say Croke Park will be heaving for that one and it'll be a very tricky game to call.
Kerry and Tyrone was a right good ding-dong battle as well. Tyrone will definitely have regrets. Yes there were two very questionable decisions which went against them, but their wide count was the real killer. Donnelly and Dzzler were superb. Kerry will be glad of that good test, and their returning lads got more minutes into the legs. Dylan Geaney is moving into POTY category for me, another superb display from him.
Fair play to the Duns too. They're coming to the boil nicely these past few weeks when everyone was doubting them. I had a fear for Galway, that if Dublin were close with ten to go they'd be in bother. PJ complained about a few decisions afterwards, but I think Galwy were just a bit too passive in the first half. Another year of regrets for them.

Galway supporter here, fair play to the Dubs, always thought that Niall Scully was under rated, he probably isn't among Dublin fans. He is your typical Dublin footballer of the last 15 years, only know what he is fully capable of when needed to step up, content to be one of the a cogs, when a cog is needed, but has the spark when that's needed also. Natural heir to James McCarthy, quietly getting on with it for years before it dawned on people what an incredible player he is

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 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!

Replying To Pope_Benedict: "Anything can happen, but shocks are less likely at the business end. Mayo are under zero pressure or expectation to win this all Ireland imo. They've beaten Monaghan, Meath, Cork to make the semis, and I'd suspect were favs to win those 3, as an established div1 outfit. Very few however would fancy Dublin, Mayo or Louth to lay a glove on Kerry at the semi or final this season. The fixtures will sell well still, I'd say." Realistically Kerry red hot favourites and rightly so but no point in the other teams not going full tilt. You just never know. This Kerry group are at their peak right now the other 3 teams are building for the future and in bonus territory.
Mayo were 1 point favourites against Cork with the bookies and are also 1 point favourites against Louth. Both teams will be happy with the draw. I do think it should be open draw at this stage though.

Disappointing end to another disappointing season yesterday.
Defenders too slow and standoffish which gave Dublin too much time and space to shoot. Only improved in the 2nd half when we got more aggressive.
Kickouts and fielding, cleaned out, slightly improved in the 2nd half.
The losing of the game was the slow ponderous attack giving Dublin too much time to get back in a shape similar to basketball to defend around the arc.
Bringing on a sub that isn't Comer on until the 68th just tells it's own story.
I'd guess Pj probably leaves with another QF exit and losing the Connacht title along with Silke, Conroy, Walsh and Comer.

Replying To Marooned: "Some of the lesser lights did very well yesterday. Molloy and O'Laoi scored 0-5 between them. And O'Loai won a lot of breaking ball especially after half time. Where Sean Kelly was badly missed was I'm pretty sure he would have marked Scully and Scully wouldn't have had the same influence on the game with Kelly hounding him.
The problem was Galway only got 0-2 from Walsh, McDaid, Tierney and Comer. That won't cut it from a group of players of that quality." I think I would have left McDaid out there. He has shown on numerous occasions what he can do when the tough get going...his display against Armagh in '22, AI final in '22, his 2nd half display against Dublin in '24 and his 2nd half display against Roscommon this year. Its difficult to replace his tenacity and experience. He had just scored and was unlucky with another. Many analysts thought that when he went off in the CF the tide turned in Roscommons favour. I believe he would have been vital in the final stretch yesterday..

Replying To SpanishRossie: "Same as that. Very optimistic. Mark Dowd and his new team of players and coaches hit the ground running and played savage for most of the season. And yes, the hype after the Connacht final probably crept in, alongside our previously unknown players becoming man-marked all of a sudden. But overall we won't be as apprehensive as before facing into Division one football again next year. And when you consider the calibre of teams making it to All-Ireland semi-finals this year, there's not much for this team to fear going forward. On a good day I reckon we'll beat three out of the four of them." delusional stuff, when does this end. 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.

Replying To TheFlaker: "All the experts out in force here. The same lads slagging Mayo after they lost to Roscommon and said they were at nothing are now determined to put them as hot favourites for the semi final. The spread with the bookies is one point. Kerry are the best team left and are raging hot favourites. The other 3 are in bonus territory. Mayo a young team building. That's the facts." 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.
