Replying To Young_gael:  "Kerry looked good today! And one has to say there was fairly significant room for improvement. The quality on display was brilliant.

On another note, I cant remember in much of my lifetime seeing Tyrone beaten like that. They weren't at the races, very unlike them. There is talent there but perhaps things need to change to bring out their best."
A county like Tyrone wins 4 of the last 20 all-irelands played. Probably leaves them in a pretty sated state, I'd imagine. They don't look that mad hungry for victory these days, and why would they, with one tucked away as recently as 2021.

My word, Monaghan V Armagh is poor fare. I've lost count of the yellow cards handed out, but you can't help but think it'll come down to whichever team gets a man sent off first.

Watched O'Shea's goal on replay and another Kerry player was in the small rectangle before he kicked the ball.
Free out?

I way over rated Tyrone's hunger when they'd get to a QF, thought they'd really it put it up to Kerry.

Monaghan really hard done by at the end there. No way is that a black card and fair shoulder soon after the ref gives a hop ball. That would have been hars if Armagh had scored at the death. Engrossing game though. You'd wonder for Monaghan's fitness now with the third game n the trot.

The team that bates Kerry will win it out.

Definitely not a black card, extra time a fair outcome after normal time.

Brilliant from Rian O'Neill but McManus is just some player.

Ah listen typical Ulster match. Both teams know each other so well. End to end right up to the last. Big chance for one of these teams to get to an All Ireland semi final.

You probably prefer 25 pt wins by Dublin.

I have to say my heart goes out to Armagh. The last 3 big games they lose are on penalties. Galway quarter final last year. This year's Ulster final v Derry and today. So unlucky. Well done Monaghan but anyone with a heart had to feel for Armagh.

Congratulations Monaghan, ye have incredible stamina and never say die attitude. Feel so sorry for Armagh and especially for Kieran McGeeney.

Monaghan in an All Ireland semi final. Fair play to them. Never say die attitude in that team is unbelievable. Conor Mc Manus the man for the big occasion.

McGeeney not the composed tactician you want with the heat on. His antics at the end of normal time were ridiculous.

Congratulations to Monaghan who have defied everyone's expectations. A semi-final to look forward to. Something to keep in mind for tomorrow- if Cork turn over Derry and Mayo beat Dublin it is a Cork vs Monaghan semi final.

I was listening on the Monaghan/Cavan radio station Northern sound. The fact that they call their radio station that shows the partitionist mindset of the people.

Wouldn't feel sorry for Mcgeeney and him out on the pitch at the end of normal time. He's had more than enough chances with that Armagh team.
