All Ireland Championship 2025.

Incredible that Kerry are now the most likeable team left in the championship. Dire times.

Would ya stop

[EoinW]

Meath deserved that. Better team overall.
Galway midfield weren't up to the task. Galway were out muscled all over the pitch. Bar Comer coming on Meath would've won that alot more comfortably.
Had meaths keeper been better at frees it would've been double scores.
Galway looked beatable last week, Meath had the height and strength to do what Down couldn't.
Are Galway fast becoming Mayo.

I feel for Down.  Walsh singlehandedly beat them last week.  Had he performed like he did today then Down would have been in this Quarter Final.

Galway are getting like Mayo. The nearly men. Good win for Meath.

Mayo got to finals, very rarely lost earlier than that until the terminal decline of that team started in 2018.
Galway aren't a comparable team.

There Kerry men playing there i never even heard of.

Fancy Armagh to win this one with a few to spare.

In fairness this Galway team has lost two finals - so they were getting to finals.

It's 14 years since Cluxton ate every moment of injury time on a free, making one person the sole evaluator of the gamesmanship v game management equation, and we now have people complaining that the transparent  hooter system is unfair?

The mind f**king boggles. It really does.

Was there a band in Croke Park yesterday?

[trileacman]

The one new rule I 100% like is the hooter.  It eliminates the controversy with added time(like the hurling Munster final this year).  I'd love to see it tried in hockey or basketball, rather than this ridiculous buzzer beater stuff or 0.1 seconds on the clock.

The end of today's game looked awkward, however you can't restart after the hooter has gone.  No controversy.

But yet it hasn't been brought in for hurling.

I don't like it. Dublin used the last 2 minutes of yesterdays 1st half to mooch around with the ball without any intent to score, Tyrone dropped off them, Dublin dropped off their defenders and the crowd grew silent as we all knew that for the next minute nothing was going to happen despite the ball being in play. I saw several fans take out their phones. It's an awful buzz killer.

Likewise today, despite the helter-shelter 2nd half the game was over once Meath got the free on 69:20 the game was over, all they'd to do was kill time and kick the ball 30 yards wide. It's an awful anti-climax.

Way too many predictions of a comfortable Armagh win for my liking, I don't think it will be that easy

[Wildweasel74]

Is that pitch that bad, that when u bounce it, it goes away from u? No man wearing metal studs for this game, after watching the earlier games.

[Gael85]

kerry will win this . 9/2 to win AI very generous odds.

The hooter is fine. Even if it doesn't look great at the end like that where the game ends if the ball is out, it's perfectly fair, as time is treated the same as at all points in the game.

However the "time on/time off" needs to be looked at. That was absolutely farcical that a free could be awarded on about 69.20, the clock could subsequently be stopped and the kick was still the last play of the game.
