He's right though.

There's no comparison between that and Sludden. I'd be sick if I was a Louth fan watching. Whelan has not a clue what that would be like. They won the game handy, make the point and leave it go don't throw the toys out of the pram over it.

Bernard Brogan.


I thought it was fair enough, he scored like 1-6 from play.

Brogan. Who was actually better and didn't have his goal gifted by a referee.

But brogan has the luxury of good players around him and Quigley carried Fermanagh in the 2nd half

Scrap the championship league format all year home and away games it's not working this there's very little competitive games at this stage of the year ,a handful of games are competitive in the last few seasons

It also helped that he was on the winning team, not that should be a requirement, buts its usually the case!

GAA is dying imo. Need to change the format.

Biggest sport in the country in terms of participation.....

The attendances and general interest/media analysis are streets ahead of other sports such as a Connaught/Munster rugby game Or a bohs/cork city soccer game for example.

Dublin have got to the semi final without playing anybody from the top 14 counties in the country (going off league standings this year).

One thing that stands for them though is that the opposition is gradually getting better round by round where as Kerry took a step down today.

im more comparing it to GAA of the past. Attendances are dropping & most likely viewing figures. Its just very boring now.

Say Your Number

It's strange that they sent Anna Geary with a microphone to the venue just to talk a bit before and after each match and then have someone else do the match report.

Sorry- how did Kerry take a step down today?

Panel too the easy option going for Brogan. Quigley should have got it in my opinion. Kept Fermanagh going when they could have been destroyed.

IF they were handing out MOTM for keeping teams in the game it would have gone to a kerryman

All credit to quigley but brogan actually scored a goal

Dessie Dolan is from Westmeath. Shane Curran is from Roscommon.

The only one that spoke sense was Whelan. It is the County Boards responsibility to put structures in place.

The bizzare Sunday game performance by Curran is below (including the video and tweets from County Players castigating Curran).

Quite shocked that Dolan let the peasant remark go.

This assumed logic that 'being tested' is a requisite for success always irritates me.

Thanks for translation. Hopefully Kerry will show Dublin how it's done before too long :-D

GAA Cliche 101. If they win it turns to how they were fresher.

It's like Donegal looking tired despite dominating vthe second halves against Galway and Monaghan. What does that say about Monaghan then?

You's don't think much of monaghan or tyrone down your way so. Maybe you could give some of the fringe players a run out in the semi cause the first fifteen will all want to play before picking up their medals in september.

No- I'm pretty certain Kerry have a good chance of pulling it off this year. Exciting games ahead for sure :-) just an pity the media dont credit Kerry- instead all we hear is Dublin Dublin Dublin- give us a break.

That was one of the most stupid ones bandied about mainly by people who didnt watch the games , particularly the UF, but maybe read a paper and passed someone elses view off as thier own. Possibly delivered in a pub with one finger on their chin.
