Does anyone know why a lot of posts on here don't get uploaded? It seems random enough it's hard to know what can be written that is acceptable.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
Donegal v Cork

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 !

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

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 ColmFlaherty: "Was thinking if/when Joyce leaves who would be the candidates to take his place.
I would've had Kevin Johnson on the shortlist prior to the u20 gig, but the results their would put me off.
I'm not clued in as others would be on management for the club's but the only other coach inside Galway that might have something is Alan Glynn that I can think or know off." I'm a fan of Gary Delaney I have to say.
I think he will manage at inter county level whether that's Galway or somewhere else we'll see.
Surprised Johnson or Kevin O'Brien haven't got a job somewhere else in Connacht but maybe that's their own choice

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!

Not good enough yesterday unfortunately.
Back line too slow and too loose.
Midfield got cleaned out on kickouts.
Probably the biggest factor was how slow the movement of the forwards were letting Dublin set up a defence similar to basketball around the arc.
Despite what Joyce has said it's probably his last game, lost the Connacht title and Mayo further ahead in the Championship with a new coach, it won't go down well with him. The end of Conroy for sure being 37, Liam Silke as well as he was exposed and I'd doubt Comer and Walsh stay on with new management.
On a separate note I had a post about a current All-Star team during the week got ridiculed, good few of them backed it up over the weekend.
