Get the feck in. Let's hope for a Donegal win now
Hope not. They were called "the unbeatable team" 2 years ago. Though they won't make the same mistakes again.Nobody will beat Dublin for the forseeable future. Those cnuts are almost professional and nearly unplayable
I'm not a GAA man at all but I had no plans for this evening so I was going to stick this game on but it's not on TV.
An All Ireland quarter final only on Sky? When did this happen?

The All-Ireland finals will be pay per view soon enough. That's the way things are heading now.
I can see a decline in interest in the Inter County scene these last few years now and I reckon that all this SKY and GPA shit has a lot got to do with it.
The club scene seems to be where all the focus and interest is amongst the supporters now, well in Galway anyways.
Subscription TV removes the chance of the casual viewer finding an interest in a sport.
I fell in love with football from watching the division one play offs on BBC when I'd get home from school.
I fell in love with Formula 1 by turning on BBC/ITV on Sunday mornings.
For families that can't afford Sky the sport is limited on terrestrial tv these days and if the GAA goes the same way then the money from Sky is a short term gain for a long term lack of interest
Spot on. I'd never have gotten into F1 if it wasn't on terrestrial telly. Football Italia did it for me too.
Yep. I was a massive Sampdoria fan back then.
Post away buddy. Shure I'm a huge Galway United fan. Season ticket and all. Still sobering up after last nights unreal win against the sweethearts of the moment Dundalk. We weren't long bringing them back down to earth boi. I was sitting behind President Michael D. Higgins and the Connacht Rugby lads. I asked Mickey D. if he want'ed a slug out of my can of Guinness and he said he was alright. He didn't know what to make of me, I'd say. Some feckin' craic. LIttle Palestinian kids there was great to see as well. Lovely little laddings.
Where do you live?Fair play. There's a guy here who always asks me about Galway United, he'll know when they're playing and results, so I have to keep an eye on it myself in case I get caught out
Gwan Michael D, have an auld slug...
Where do you live?
Where do you live?
Dublin at the minute but dad's a Kerryman so there was only one team growing up. Which has caused some trouble with mam's side of the family Lovely view of Croker from the house actually.Where do you live Charlie?
Ye had ye'r chance Waterford. Ye had ye'r chance.
Waterford had them on the ropes up until the last 5 minutes or the Kilkenny goal and then decided to go back to that defensive shite they are renowned for and gave Kilkenny acres of space in their own half to let them clock up the scores and bring it back to level terms. The dogs on the street knows now that you can not sit back against Kilkenny and expect anything good in your favour to come from it. Only way to beat them is by going toe to toe and attack the living shit out of them for the full 70 minutes odd, not 60, not 65 minutes. Sitting back and inviting them onto you is pure suicidal.
Hard to see Waterford beating them on the next day now. It would be brilliant if they do and a real breath of fresh air for this years AI final but it'll be a tall order.
Kilkenny 2-19 : 2:17 Waterford
What a match?! The physicality, passion and skill on show was amazing to watch. Hair on tbe back of the neck stuff.
This story about the aftermath is lovely.
Cute hooreism out of kerry! I predict a great game on Sunday. Maybe 2 points in it. Not sure who will come out on top.I nearly wouldn't bother even travelling to Croke Park, no chance in the final imho. Mayo have regressed and it's been a miracle they have got to the final.
Hooreism? From us? Never!!Cute hooreism out of kerry! I predict a great game on Sunday. Maybe 2 points in it. Not sure who will come out on top.
If that's the Kerry starting 15 I'm Pat Hickey. Mind games have started.
Not sure about ye being robbed. I thought ye did well but two glaring errors from Cluxton gave the kerry lads a lifeline when needed. I think we could see a huge performance from Mayo in the final. They're due one!The last 2 losses I could take, as Dublin were the better team. I feel robbed after that, we made mistakes but so did they. I'll say nothing about the ref until I calm down.
Sure it was a great game for the neutral. We went down swinging at least
