Dick Clerkin was right about this Armagh team.

What did he say about them?

Weakest team to ever win the AI.

They're better than the Tyrone team that won the 2021 All Ireland*

We going to do this again lol

Galway will probably never win an all ireland now will they?

Which is sad to see

Fair play to Meath despite not playing their best....there's an all Ireland in that team maybe not this year but in the coming years.

been saying this all year. Youngest team in quarterfinals. This will all add to them going forward next year and the year after. Best all round players since 96/04. Future looks very bright. I believe will dominate Leinster over next 5 years with our main opposition been Offaly. Louth I think will slip back , dubs are in rebuild mode. And Kildare are a basket case. We are the coming team with minor all ire winners and Leinster u20s yet to feature.
The future is bright the future is green and gold.
Hon the royal

How many of that 2021 minor team now playing senior?

Not that it matters at this stage but surely that was a text book black card offence committed by Rian O'Neill?

Armagh going for goals last 3 attacks is stupid

Heads completely gone like Monaghan yesterday.

My youngest lad said to me there would it not be easier for them to kick 2 pointers instead of trying to force a goal.

Just give Kerry Sam already
They could hit 35+ points at this rate.

Hope Tyrone get Meath. Don't rate them at all. Galway very poor..

Be careful what you wish for! Galway got theirs.

No easy games from here on in.

Tyrone have always struggled with Meath. Even when Meath were rubbish Tyrone could only beat them narrowly on 3 occasions between 2013-2018. The 2018 game went to ET and we were very lucky to come away from Navan that evening still in the championship.
The 2021 Minor final as well, Tyrone should have won that game easily but kicked themselves out of it and Meath won by a point.

Was there a band in Croke Park yesterday?

No

Some win for Meath

The pitch is a bit of a disgrace. The amount of slips in this game and Dublin v Tyrone isn't normal. It's not like there was torrential rain all day or anything, its light mizzle in Ireland FFS.

Definitely not normal. Visually the pitch looks in excellent condition so you'd wonder what has changed for the pitch to be this slippery.

Galway player was fouled before the Meath goal no matter what Fitzmaurice says.

Thought Comer was out for the season?

Donegal the team of the weekend so far.

As a neutral can I ask an honest question of GAA board contributers.

Why do the majority have a disliking for Jim Mcguinness.

Any time I hear the man talk I find him to be mannerly, articulate and an interesting character; never takes the praise himself always puts it on the players and supporters. Stands up for his own and is incredibly proud of where he is from.

Compare him to Davy Fits or even Damien Duff a character who alot of people like. He's the opposite is always blowing his own trumpet and questioning his players.

I know who'd I'd rather have.

How he treated Declan Bogue, a decent auld skin, was the act of a pure w**ker. All Bogue had done was asked a few county footballers could he track their county season and make a book about it. Jim was the only county manager who blew a gasket about it and threw Kevin Cassidy off the panel.

After the Donegal AI final win in the post match press conference he refused to start until Bogue had left the room. On the biggest day of his sporting career Jim was more interested in settling a grudge than winning an AI. It was a petulant childish act so forgive me I don't believe the "zen master" propaganda. He's a selfish w**ker without even mentioning any of the shit he has pulled since.

Well put.

Leagues on the back burner due to our county team's good fortunes or plough on with more starred games? August already fairly congested as it is

In the last 3 seasons Tyrone have been knocked out by this stage which worked out well with the 5 starred games. Now it's a problem and most likely a problem going forward in future seasons going by the talent that's coming through. Don't know how it can be resolved, but at same time you don't want the leagues becoming Mickey mouse competitions like in other counties.
Anyway looking at the Division 1 table you can't imagine the teams around the bottom will want to play on without their county players. Fianna in Division 2 probably can't afford many more defeats if they want to stay in the promotion places.

Are we not 7 x starred games next season or did I imagine that?

Could well be actually when thinking about it. Can mind there being different proposals at start of year but not sure now which one was passed. Was that the proposal with different points for winning a starred game v non starred game?
