Replying To Gaaforlife2023: "Chance but don't forget kerry left in it still for now they get through tomorrow I have them favourites ahead Galway" Kerry clear favourites. Dublin washed up, weighed down with medals. Tonight was the official end of the great Dublin side. In complete contrast, Kerry's trajectory is on the up still, so will be a much tougher nut to crack than Dublin. Great Galway win tonight, but frankly I was surprised at how 'finished' Dublin looked after HT. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 4017 - 29/06/2024 22:07:29 2555766 Link
Replying To Gaaforlife2023: "Chance but don't forget kerry left in it still for now they get through tomorrow I have them favourites ahead Galway" They will win it now, but hopefully ye can go all the way (or Donegal - either or). Very well done today. Super performance and great 2nd half. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4116 - 29/06/2024 22:11:29 2555771 Link
Replying To Moyle: "Kerry no doubt are thrilled with this result." Just the wee Issue for Kerry. They've a match to win tomorrow before they can celebrate Galways victory border Gael (Monaghan) - Posts: 906 - 29/06/2024 22:24:18 2555778 Link
Replying To Donegal_abroad: "Galway looking the real deal. Aside from Kerry I think they are the only unbeaten team so far? And they have played better teams than Kerry. Walsh is just a genius. McDaid at 2022 form there today, Mulkerrin is a fine defender. Galway look to have the right balance between defence and attack. Doing everything right in this championship so far and the belief they'll get after today might push them towards Sam. One thing talking about beating Dublin, another thing doing it and Galway will be fearful of absolutely nobody now." At least there was very little energy expended here talking about beating Dublin. Much more talk all week about the inevitable impending loss. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 4017 - 29/06/2024 22:34:29 2555780 Link
As huge win for Galway to defy the odds, and knock out Dublin. Now for Derry to beat Kerry tomorrow. thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1879 - 29/06/2024 22:44:41 2555785 Link
Woo f*ing hoo. Well done galway. Well done team. Well done mulkerrins. Celebrate this weekend then all eyes on the semi. galwayfball (Galway)** - Posts: 1704 - 29/06/2024 22:49:47 2555788 Link
Super win for Galway, I didn't see any team whom won last week winning this weekend but Galway winning has proved t that their fitness and conditioning is very good that mainly allowed them to win and impact off the bench played a big part.

Well done Galway. Expected it to be close. End of an era for a lot of our players. Hopefully you avoid Donegal in the semi. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4735 - 29/06/2024 23:13:11 2555794 Link
Couple of huge moments today. Dylan McHughs point. Comer intercepting the kick out which lead to a Walsh point. I thought we could have won by more. John Maher has been some find. He's in line for an All Star. Some of the Dublin defending was poor. John Small very loose at times. Mulkerrin, he has some engine, hurt them with his runs more than once and a natural defender. He's been outstanding the last few weeks. The negatives Some stupid fouls in the second half which the converted. The kick outs in the first half. I was watching through my fingers. Kicking possession away each time. smallfrank (Galway) - Posts: 467 - 29/06/2024 23:24:17 2555799 Link
Well done Galway. Very happy to have been proven wrong about Shane Walsh, Paul Conroy and Damo Comer. Mulkerris was immense. So was Maher. Cillian McDaid man of the match. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2585 - 29/06/2024 23:24:53 2555800 Link

Hats off to all involved, a brilliant day to be a Galwayman in Croker. Showed great bravery there in the second half to take the game to Dublin. Everyone played their part, including the bench, but for me McHugh, Mulkerrins & McDaid were absolutely outstanding. Time to recover now and get the bodies right for 2 weeks time, this All Ireland is there now for whoever wants it most. johnjoe21 (Galway) - Posts: 131 - 30/06/2024 00:31:00 2555819 Link
Replying To Joxer: "Well done Galway. Expected it to be close. End of an era for a lot of our players. Hopefully you avoid Donegal in the semi." After beating such a talented dublin team with our 3rd match in 14 days, with a 2 week break now i dont think we have to try avoid anyone after that performance Galway456 (Galway) - Posts: 130 - 30/06/2024 00:38:38 2555820 Link
I've been saying it here all week long, again and again and again.. that they would win against Dublin. So much rubbish on this forum. Constant negativity rather than any discussion. I'm calling a Derry and Donegal win tomorrow. Gearoid1998ffowaed (Galway) - Posts: 140 - 30/06/2024 00:44:30 2555822 Link
What a performance. Too passive in first half but yet again they were a different team in the second half. Panel and subs made the difference today. And the belief they had even after the bad wides in the second half. Felt great afterwards, dub supporters were very gracious in defeat. jam83 (Galway) - Posts: 187 - 30/06/2024 01:00:24 2555824 Link
Incredible result today. Once I saw the team named I was very confident. We always had the talent to win it. I think we were 5 points down at one stage which makes this Victory all the more impressive. The injuries to Shane Walsh and Sean Kelly are a bit deflating. Shane in particular as Sean hasn't been at his very best this season. Looked like a hammer so doubt he'll be available for the semifinal. centrefield99 (Galway) - Posts: 142 - 30/06/2024 01:06:26 2555825 Link
Replying To Fionn: "They will win it now, but hopefully ye can go all the way (or Donegal - either or). Very well done today. Super performance and great 2nd half." Love Dublin football. But in reality, mother time caught up. I hope Dublin come back next year with a few newbies and challenge for honours again. Really (Galway) - Posts: 623 - 30/06/2024 01:44:30 2555829 Link
Much was made of Galway's record against Dublin before the game. Interestingly, Galway have beaten Dublin 3 times in 11 games. Mayo have beaten Dublin 3 times in 20 games. centrefield99 (Galway) - Posts: 142 - 30/06/2024 02:03:15 2555832 Link
Replying To seanie08: "Congratulations on a great win. Disgraceful that wasn't on RTE." All Ireland favourites and champions knocked out and it not even on the TV. Crazy now people are allowing this to carry on Kew (Galway) - Posts: 139 - 30/06/2024 02:27:14 2555839 Link
Big 2nd half performance. Thought Gleeson deserves massive credit for some very good kickouts in 2nd half. McHugh was massive. Mulkerrin has been a revelation past few games, he was awesome yesterday and very important block for CONS goal chance. Maher and McDaid and Walsh so good. Comer made a nuisance of himself. Conroy and Heaney will be very relieved we held on after kicking away possession at the end. Great for Tomo to get the score after the Armagh game. Hernon was good impact also. Very impressed with Galway's 2nd half and hopefully we can put in a good shift in 2 weeks again. jobseekersbent (Galway) - Posts: 384 - 30/06/2024 06:29:46 2555843 Link
