I think Dublin will win the all Ireland but one thing with Tyrone and Harte he knows how to win one off games. Will hopefully be an interesting final. Hard luck Monaghan. Will be kicking themselves as had chances throughout. #gaa

Attendances at All-Ireland football semi-finals: Dublin v Galway - 54,717 Monaghan v Tyrone - 49,696

54k+ at Dublin v Galway, not a huge shock between Dublin's dominance, holiday time and a busy summer for Galway fans. Monaghan's population around 60k, half of Tyrone has no interest. Zero attraction for most neutrals. I thought 46k+ wasn't a bad turnout all things considered.

Look on the bright side, two teams that lost to Dublin last year by a combined total of 22 points await them in the final

I miss Mayo
The attendances at today's & yesterday's All Ir. Semi-Finals have to be a cause of concern. Does it reflect expectation of inevitable outcomes & weariness at type of football being played?Football suffering in comparison to brilliance of #hurling @TheSundayGame

Well done @Kerry_Official minors and @TyroneGAALive seniors today. Went to the wire but overall both teams deserved to be in final. You have to hand it to the wily Mickey Harte

Feel for the Monaghan boys. Very tough result, had chances but unfortunately wasn't to be.

Today saw Conor McManus (18-505) equal Paul Finlay's (5-544) scoring record for Monaghan. McManus' scoring stats for last 6 years under Malachy O'Rourke: 2013: 3-68; 2014: 1-67; 2015: 1-59; 2016: 3-70; 2017: 3-60; 2018: 3-65.

Monaghan not getting the frees that Tyrone are because they are too honest. They stay on their feet. #MONVTYR

The dubs fitness levels are incredible, Tyrone probably the only team that can get anywhere near it.

Rory Beggan been superb all year but that was a horrific option to take that shot on at the end. Killer last play - have to look to find McManus or Kieran Hughes #GAA
