Bye bye Dublin

As always Dublin are gracious in victory and gracious in defeat. So many miles on the clock. Galway played Dublin in 2018 in a semi final. 11 of Dublin's starters in 2018 started today. The one opponent you can't defeat is Fr. Time. He came knocking on the door today.

Typical post by you. No humility in victory or no dignity when you lose. You're a sad case.

That was an awesome Dublin team that came to the end of the road, happens all great teams.
Dublin in full flow over the years were a joy to watch.

Hard luck lads, ye have been incredible to watch the last few years, pleasure to have been able to see I witnessed some of them players live. Probably the end of an era now, but always admired how gracious ye are in defeat always

Congrats to galway. Commiserations to Dublin. What a team. They've been phenomenal. Today was probably a bridge too far but the signs have been there all year tbf. This ridiculous format certainly did you no favours. Think Jack should have been left on a bit longer and the same with mannion. Biggest loss tho was gannon. Great memories nevertheless.

Hard luck to the dubs yesterday, what a team they have been to watch and admire the last 10+ years, will miss watching clucko in the goals as I'm sure he will call it a day.

Hopefully we can improve over the next 2 years and start having those great battles again we shared in the late 80,s , the 90's , will we ever forget 91, and the noughties.

Good tough football and shook hands and went home after. I will always have great respect for the dubs especially the club supporter. Great people.

Congratulations to Galway

I honestly thought Dublin would have enough to get to a final this year but I didn't fancy them to win back to back

No excuses, they put an awful lot into last year

Incredible that they got the lads over the line for #9

Watching James lift Sam as captain with his 9th medal secured

Unique. Historic. Burnt into memory.

I'll die a well fed and satisfied Dub supporter

I feel zero disappointment this morning, all credit to Galway

The Dubs will be back challenging again next year

Good luck lads, time to say cheerio.

Hard luck Dublin, that game could have gone either way, a relief for us it didn't go to extra time. The game yesterday was played in a sporting manner, great skill, courage and commitment on both sides and to an extent brought some closure for those us from Galway who were at the 1983 final.

He's just looking for a rise... Best ignored. This Dublin team will be missed, at full flow they played a beautiful brand of football. I can't see anything matching them in my lifetime anyhow.

Still a lot of fine players on that Dublin team who won't be retiring. It may be the end of an era but Dublin won't be far away again next year. They lost by one point yesterday.

A deserved win for Galway… the Dublin forward line apart from Kilkenny were poor.. Mannion was poor and the miss from O Callaghan at the end in front of the goals was unforgivable.. Fenton had one of his poorest performances and it's a game and season too far for McCarthy…. A poor selection choice by Farrell as well…

Will the greatest myth in GAA history (Cluxton) retire now?

The inevitable talk after what looks like an epoch-ending defeat will be the retirements to follow.

Looking past the obvious cases, will there be some more surprising ones?
Fenton, Mannion, McCaffrey, John Small in particular, they will all be pushing 32-33 next year. There is a good chance 2 or 3 of these will join the list of greats who call it a day.

Junk post as usual.
Yes That Dublin team were awesome and will go down in history as one ,if not the best in living memory. Ignore that sad pathetic poster from Galway. Hard to say who will get their hands on Sam now. Galway will be full of confidence but I fancy Kerry.

Interesting once more after Dublin lose you come on here and claim that you didn't think they were going to win anyway.

I don't know about that. I've a hunch that there will be a few surprises- Fenton among them

Are you quoting the wrong post because in the one you replied to above the poster said he thought Dublin would get to the final so obviously he felt they would win the quarterfinal.
