Galway v donegal

[square_ball]

4 minutes extra
That is some hammering . It would make you wonder how good Tyrone are .

It's a good train of thought. Bad formline for Ulster football. Its a quirk if Tyrone are good enough above it.

Yip we've beat a team heading to division 3, a team that survived div 2 by the skin of their teeth and a Donegal side on the slide.

Just leaving Sligo what a day,we're in Sligo park hotel after match, some craic team are having their meal,now they got a great welcome!!what a difference 2 weeks make!!Don't know will we be singing after kerry,but the lads are in great spirits,you would never know???

[From the Bunker]

Well done Galway! That's the talk! Now don't be just happy to play nice football against the Kingdom. Time to get that overdue win in Croker and who better to beat than Kerry?

[Rossfan]

3 Connacht teams in the last 8.
Not bad for Ireland's Gaza Strip.
Hope we can keep the ball kicked out to the mighty Rhubarbs.

You can only beat what's in front of you.

It was great to see Meehan getting some time on the pitch

Legitimately, hope he avoids injury and finishes his playing career the way he started it!

Absolutely.

I don't mean to be a spoil-sport but Meehan has been a glorified mascot for Galway since he was added to the panel. With Armstrong out for the CF and Galway shoddy on frees the fact Meehan made no appearance spoke volumes about his role, much more than coming on in a match that had been over for 40 minutes. Apparently he's not going very well in training, but honestly that shouldn't come as any surprise given he has a bum ankle. Walsh either misled Meehan or thought his ankle had magically healed itself, I don't know which of the two scenarios make him look worse. Either way, a return for a player who was unwilling to admit his enforced retirement a few years ago was even what it was, retirement, would have been an easy sell.

I hope the best for the lad because in terms of pure talent he is one the best players I have ever witnessed and he seems a good guy to boot, but no matter what happens this is not a fitting end for a great player. I hope he goes into coaching because he has a lot to give still to the sport and that would be a more fitting finale to his story than this sideshow.

Look, even if he does not hit top form again, It was nice for Meehan and the Galway Supporters to have a final proper goodbye!

Fair play to the Galway team response to the Roscommon debacle, can only beat what's in front of you.
Any shade being thrown on Meehan's return isn't worth a response, the man is a gent, great to see him out there.

It would take someone being a real ass to take what I said as throwing shade on Michael Meehan.

Didn't see this as a dig at Meehan just the level of Galway support.

Donegal were favourites. It wasn't the easiest way to get to the quarter final.
