Hats off to Meath, I admit I thought they'd fall here, but a bit of the auld royal grit was on display today.
Congrats!!

Totally ridiculous statement. The incessant negativity is wearing. Maybe, as another poster suggested, you should consider another sport.

Why do you say everything twice? Why do you say everything twice? Brilliant weekend of football. Brilliant weekend of football.

Replying To MesAmis:  "Meath kicked the ball dead before the hooter sounded, but the game is over?

What's the rule there?"
Wasn't enough time after the wide for Galway to take the kickout before the hooter.

A mini shock but can't say Meath didn't deserve to win that game. The three games in 14 caught up with Gaway and apart from a spell where they scored 2-3 in 4 minutes they were way off the level they are capable of.

Meath having now beaten Dublin,Kerry and Galway surely won't be underestimated for whoever they play in semi final.

Well Wicklow or Dublin won't win the All Ireland anyway. Galway wont win either. You keep picking Counties. Ha

You and the boxty fella from Leitrim need to get out and enjoy life. It's not good for your health being in a permanent negative warp.

Replying To Saynothing:  "Watching match again, 64 th minute Cluxton misses a free to put Dubs in front, 30 seconds later Tyrone go 2 up. Small margins."
Yes. One of many turning points in the match. Tyrone dug deep and were worthy winners in the end.

A brilliant win for Meath but it was junior b standard of football… the amount of handling errors and silly mistakes was shocking… Game only came to life in the last 10 minutes…. prior to that it was a snore fest..

Kerry with the wind in second half will win. Seanie O'Shea has MOTM sown up. Can't play Meath so Tyrone or Donegal in semi final.

I don't know what matches you have been watching? We had 2 super matches yesterday. The Meath / Galway match was great today, particularly the second half.
The first half of the Armagh / Kerry is nicely poised as well.
The new Rules have been a breath of fresh air. High scoring tactical matches.

Again we have a fool who mixes up negativity with the truth…. When they don't like what they hear they pair it as negative… The Meath /
Galway game was atrocious until the last 10 minutes and anyone who thinks otherwise knows absolutely nothing about football….

Why do you send nearly every message twice? Bad enough reading them once.

They were playing for a semi final place, not for a chance to entertain a television audience.

RIP the group of death.

Don't think anyone would have predicted all three teams out.

Kerry brought it today and oddly, Armagh did not!
Congrats to the Kingdom!!

Armagh going way too early for goals, with about 15 minutes left, when a few 2 pointers could have brought them back the game. Kerry look first to every ball. I thought Armagh's tougher games v a fairly untested Kerry would have stood to them. But Kerry look fresh, bouncing with confidence, a good few scoring options and Paudie Clifford will hopefully stay fit. Well the better team today.
