2 days in a row you could have left with 15 mins to go but what a great sport we now have.
Last years semi finals and final were much better sporting contests.
Now Kerry and Donegal were excellent but these one sided contests are poor to watch.

People really confuse high scoring with high quality. It's just field basketball not

I agree. The constant  back and forth hand passes around the arc  is as plentiful, if not more,  as  last year. And as boring to watch as it ever was.

Only difference is  if you  handpass enough times , you might  create a space for a score.  There's a little bit more room now to do that with 6 players up , but the game  is  as ponderous  as it ever was, with the odd moment of  magic from Clifford, Conaty, Con O'C or whoever.

Christ Almighty... I know it's not over yet, but when's the last time we've had a winning margin like this in a semi final?

Kerry Cork 2002 is all  I can recall (15 points)

Galway would have  given Donegal a better game of it

This is very poor  from Meath.

My 8 point  prediction is looking very generous now

Harte maybe even worse as a neutral.

Donegal's Conal Gallen 

Another Murphy incident let go by the officials.

Shocker.

Not

It's not even a  surprise anymore when he gets away with it

Was a push in the back ffs!

TV ref said it  was a black.

I thought you referees  stuck together 

Sneaky wee dig to the face from Langan there. He's lucky it was only yellow.

Slapped twice in the  face. Surely that's a red???

Donegal 1-25
Meath 2-14

For me, Fitzgerald was the best I've ever seen, then Clifford.
Caravan, Matt Connor and Connolly round out my top 5.

Maurice Fitzgerald  for me too. Just so graceful , beautiful to watch 

Clifford is a fantastic player, as was Peter 'Caravan'   and Cooper.

Mickey Harte was dreadful in the co commentator role yesterday. Came across as someone from a bygone era, who was more interested in Tyrone than the actual match.

He wasn't as bad as  Pete Sampras on the RTE  panel. Asking Garth Crooks-style meandering non-sensical questions and  adding  wee snide comments.

I am recording the shows tonight. Only catching bits  and pieces.

I did see the Queen set , it was great.

What are the  other  highlights to look out for?

And who was  absent that day that should have been  there?

Philomena Begley

 

Did Wham or  Culture club play?

They were big then

Kudos to all of them for saving the world

They were feeding  the world

fair play to them for  that though

Will Joe McQuillan be called Kerry Joe now? 

Strangely, the  last image on RTE's montage post match was Joe with a big smile on his face. He was clearly   very happy with  the result

so yes,  he's Kerry Joe now

Tyrone folk  are probably around Drogheda by now
