Replying To Rossieforever: "The timing of the Dublin/Galway match is a disgrace. The last train to Galway leaves at about 7:30. Both matches could have been played two hours earlier. It seems to have been scheduled to suit the Dubs fans again" Correct. Imagine travelling from Clifden, Leitir Mór or dare I say it Oileain Arann (latter homevclub of Sean Mulkerrins). Grassroots and logistics not really relevant in the eyes of some. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1973 - 29/06/2024 10:06:47 2555505 Link
Off topic, David Clifford to start moving up the gears tomorrow in a more balanced Kerry attack. But no Derry player will make it easy for them or give away too many scoreable frees. Have they left their trough behind to peak again? Potentially the game of the weekend. link GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7984 - 29/06/2024 12:43:50 2555533 Link
Replying To kiloughter: "Correct. Imagine travelling from Clifden, Leitir Mór or dare I say it Oileain Arann (latter homevclub of Sean Mulkerrins). Grassroots and logistics not really relevant in the eyes of some." There are over 600,000 people attending events all over Dublin this weekend. Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, Jane's Addiction are all playing outdoor gigs, over 60,000 marching at Pride and thousands more attending, 50,000 - 60,000 at Croke Park. The whole city is gridlocked today so the Dubs - Galway game time is only a small piece of the jigsaw. There's probably more people travelling from the west to gigs than to football. Hardly "accommodating the Dubs". Iarnrod Eireann should have way more trains on for all events. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4743 - 29/06/2024 14:27:59 2555559 Link
These quarter finals should be in Thurles. And they should be at 2 and 4pm both days. eslinchickenmaryland (Leitrim) - Posts: 274 - 29/06/2024 14:34:45 2555561 Link
Come on Galway. Come on Rossies. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2614 - 29/06/2024 14:47:33 2555563 Link
Terrible scoring in the first half. Armagh 1-3 to Roscommon's 4 points. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8793 - 29/06/2024 16:46:14 2555584 Link
Good luck to Derry and Donegal. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2295 - 29/06/2024 17:10:45 2555589 Link
Armagh through to the semi-finals. Roscommon seemed to be lacking a bit of energy after the last two weeks. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8793 - 29/06/2024 17:44:28 2555606 Link
Replying To TalkToFahy: "Out of curiosity, was that not Tyrone and Dublin in '08? The day the great Ronnie Drew died? Tyrone won 3-14 to 1-08? I may be wrong but from what I can remember the floodlights was on for throw in because of the rain,thunder and lightening" No.The Tyrone Dublin game was a week after the Kerry Galway game and the floodlights were on for both games.

Incredible win by Galway! Not many saw that one coming. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8793 - 29/06/2024 20:08:06 2555685 Link
Replying To legendzxix: "Incredible win by Galway! Not many saw that one coming." In fairness to Galway great second half really out the pressure on Dublin. To keep Dublin to 16 points is a great effort. Sadly looks like Shane Walsh done a hamner . Hopefully not as bad as it looked as they have every chance now . ctowers (Dublin) - Posts: 104 - 29/06/2024 20:13:15 2555687 Link
Brilliant from Galway, congratulations. We're not as invincible anymore, that's for sure. Teams will believe in themselves more. The championship is wide open once again, and not just for this year! The way it should be. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8753 - 29/06/2024 20:26:34 2555700 Link
Congrats to Galway. Brilliant second half display. Well deserved win. Dublin looked gassed and out of ideas. Very similar to 2021. Championship blown wide open now. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11566 - 29/06/2024 20:32:47 2555709 Link

Just out of interest if Derry win tomorrow I assume its an open draw for the semi-final as Derry, Galway and Armagh were in the same group. If Kerry win the only possible draw should Donegal also win is: Kerry vs Armagh Galway vs Donegal Jazzyjeff (Derry) - Posts: 212 - 29/06/2024 21:05:37 2555726 Link
A beautiful tribute to Michael O'Muircheartaigh before the Dublin v Galway game and a great round of applause afterwards. He would definitely loved the skills, the intensity and the drama from the game today. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7984 - 29/06/2024 21:30:44 2555745 Link
Replying To yew_tree: "Give it a rest belclare. Mayo didn't beat Dublin and ultimately paid the price for failing to close out a game yet again. All I see over on the Galway forum is Mayo this and Mayo that. The obsession continues, time everyone stopped talking about us. We will see where the lie of the land is after this coming weekend." Galway did what Mayo couldn't. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 1202 - 29/06/2024 21:38:44 2555749 Link
Replying To peiledoir20: "Galway did what Mayo couldn't." Indeed and I've congratulated them above. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11566 - 29/06/2024 21:50:22 2555756 Link
Many congrats Galway. Fully deserved. Best of luck in the semi and hopefully a final. Hopefully ye or Donegal can win it now. Cant see Derry winning their 1/4 final tomorrow at all tbh. Well done to the Tribesmen - but dont celebrate just yet - more work to do. #2MoreWins..... Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4246 - 29/06/2024 22:02:26 2555764 Link
