Galway vs Dublin - All Ireland Semi Final - 11/8/2018

[Captain Obvious]

Very soft goal given away by Galway when they have got themselves right back into this game.

[manfromdelmonte]

3 Dublin players overcarried for that goal

Dublin still not the team of old though! That flashy forward line of Flynn; Connolly and Brogan subs or not there; while they always have a weak spot at full bck without O 'Carroll

[trileacman]

Did anyone else hear Dolan saying "very much so" there 5 mins ago. It sent a shiver down my spine.

Galway are going for it a bit more than in other games, which is good to see and they've got some joy out of it. But they're more open in defence as a result. Although they're winning, Dublin still don't look fully at it today, if they were they'd punish Galway more.

If he mentions malice at all then I'm muting him for good

Shane Walsh should use his pace and go direct.
He'll either draw a free or get a scoring chance.
He's one on one all the time.

How much space can a team get? Criminal that lads who train all year are not fit enough to mark their fecking man! Do they see their man run free and think, 'sure paddy will pick him up'?

Dublin 3rd man tackling going un punished got them 4 point  diff (-2 + 2)

[Jinxy]

Take Sean Armstrong off for his own sake.
Nightmare.

Zonal marking

No chance he'll see the 2nd half

Only 2 points in it, everything still to play for but it still just seems like a strange match and atmosphere...doesn't feel like an all or nothing semi final. It's just going through the motions or am I being harsh?

If he comes out in the 2nd half I'm sending an anonymous letter to Walsh.

Haha

HT Dublin 1-9 Galway 1-7. Better side leading but Galway had their chances to lead at the break and might rue those misses yet.

[Schkite]

Strange sort of a game. The soft goal for Galway then a brutal penalty. A couple of times I thought Dublin would kick on a bit but Galway seem to just about stay in touch.

Dublin are sloppy enough and don't seem to be at it at all today, but I'd still fancy them to pull clear in the last 20 minutes or so.
