Typical Waterford its not over till its over! Tony Browne eh? Nearing 37 and he playing the full 70mins and been snakey nuff to be on his own, effing ledge Ref was migtey, i wont say poor but inconsistant like that free we got... Both teams got away with worse but sillier things were blown up. Cork through it away and that was a howler of a wide from Cussen, couldnt take the heat! Overall waterford would have to be the happier team and I really think we could win it next week!! Mon the Deise BTW What happend in the football though??

You didn't hear about it, no?
In the last few seconds of the match (like dying moments we're talking here!), Meath (Joe Sheridan) got a goal.
But firstly, it was a square ball.
And secondly, he fell over the line so it was like a touchdown. He didn't handpass the ball in or kick it in. He touched it down over the goal line.

And after all the louth fans and players disputing, he went over to ONE (Just one!!) umpire and called it a goal after about 2 seconds.
Supposedly, from what the Louth manager said, the ref didn't even ask the umpire about it and he just said to him "raise the green flag. its a goal".

Then when the game was over, Louth supporters started attacking him.
Disgrace.

Oh and when the goal was given, Louth were leading by a point.

Netherlands or Spain?
My heart says The Netherlands. Head says Spain though.

(great day for the sports, eh? )

I'd have to agree with you there, unfortunately! Would love to see the Dutch win it, but that feckin' German octopus has me expecting a Spanish victory...

I really think that Armagh will do it.
McDonnell scored 6 points today against Fermanagh.
One of Armagh's biggest scoring threats.
But sure, we can never really tell with Dublin.

My mother and sister are giving out about all the sport we've been watching today!:P
But yeah amm....I want Spain to win, but I'm afraid if they do! Someone posted something on my wall on FB saying what they'd do if the Netherlands lost...So yeah! Mon Holland!:pac:

Armagh won't be Dublin. Armagh are not good and even though Dublin aren't great they will still be able to do enough to win.

Expect those teams will win.
Although Kildare v Derry is a hard one to call.

Derry v Kildare pick of the bunch imo.

Edit: Beaten to it. :P

Armagh or Offaly was the team I would have wanted. Looks like Armagh probably in Croker next week.

Armstrong is 13 and a half minutes off Andy Schleck after today in Le Tour. I'm devastated about it to be honest. It would have been great if he could at least compete for the title, there's not a chance of that now

I'm digging for Andy Schleck now. It'd be great if he got the Junior title and the General classification.

Give us the dubs... PLEASE!!:)

Dublin are rubbish, Derry could beat Dublin. Cork would put them out as they are by far the best team in the draw.

Anything to beat Derry man.
Anything.

Yea Limerick's next match is the weekend of the 24th/25th.
I'd love to see Derry get Cork or Dublin.
Anything to knock Derry out because I really wouldn't fancy meeting a northern team.

I don't know if the loosing finalists come in at this stage, I don't think they do since the Ulster and Connacht are next week.

It is most likely going to be an open draw. Cork will be the team to avoid.

Lads, anyone else not see any free when they replayed the free that lead up the tony's goal?

Didn't see the hurling but Ye should definitely get a replay,it would only be fair.

It probably would be fair but then every time theres a dodgey decision in a game teams will be calling for a replay the GAA would be shooting themselves in the foot if they did award it.

almostnever

Bookmakers here in town are paying out with Louth as winners.

True but in a sense we threw it away...missed a few scorable frees ect in the first half especially.
