Agree  with Lamh Dearg comments.
very few teams go scoreless in the last 20 mins of a game and come out winners. Would need to watch that part again to determine if Armagh retreated or that just Donegal took over through aggressive play.
Feel bad for Stephan Campbell, he has put in a lot of years with Armagh.

Armagh were comfortably the better team and stopped playing for the last 10mins... some psychological issues going on there!!!

I don't think Armagh scored for at least last 20 minutes
Unreal

GAA go also on the blink
Which makes sense

what is weather like in Clones,
dry or wet

Football shits the bed with regards to entertainment

Unfortunatley very true, when you think of the comparison of that and the
Armagh V Down game tow weeks ago.
btw Mike Finnerty is such a better commentator that Marty or (its a huge one) Ger

Doesn't make any sense for the provincial winners to have to play away against provincial losing finalists in a group.

Does that include your own Kerry
Eire og or Kerry for Sams or whatever 10 aliases you are now using
You idiot.
When does the leaving cert begin

Gough was fortunate that Galway won, If they hadn't won, he would've been melted on the spot by the extent of Joyce's ire post game. Considering the 2 shocking decisions when Galway were trying to claw back the 3 point deficit, the two soft frees they did get just balanced things out.
But that's not how a game should be reffed.
Overall I thought Galway were well worth the margin of victory.

Think Gough realised that he gave Mayo a couple of very marginal calls heading towards injury time so gave Galway a couple of marginal calls during injury time. That's what it felt like at least. That said I thought Maher got clattered for that free. Even if he was expecting the hit. Not sure how that one is even controversial.

Maher dove after he knew he was not gettin it.
Tommy Conroy got all ball. The reaction of the three or four Mayo players around it really tells the tale, they were incredulous.
But as I said earlier Gough did not cost Mayo the game.
He Did give us a fair few 50/50 ones earlier.

Just went back and rewatched the last 5 mins.
Firstly Gough, did favor Mayo with a lot of decisions in regular time, However he totally lost the plot in the last five minutes.

70 mins Mayo 0-15 Galway 0-13
72 .30 Phantom free against  Tommy Conroy as he pulled on loose ball. 
just watched it back four times, no way was it a free. That was the game right there as O donohue had the ball and was breaking away down the field
Result Galway point.
Mayo 0-15 Galway 0-14
73.13 fairly easy on Coyne Galway free Galway point 0-15 Galway 0-15
74.25 Dodgy overcarry free on Loftus, easily could have been a free to Mayo (you could blame Reape or Mchugh the latter punched passed it to Loftus, who had two galway men in close proximity) he could have blasted it down the field.
Anyway just thought i would point that out.
Gough did not cost Mayo the game but has a shit last five minutes.

Well done and good luck to Roscommon the rest of the way

[that busloads of drunken louts did not.]

Will the final in Clones be a sell out?

Of course it will! Why wouldn't it?

it would be nice if they could ensure that all persons who attended league games got a ticket and that busloads of drunken louts did not.

In this day and age it wouldn't be hard to have some kind of loyalty scheme going surely?

Seeing that type of shite sickens me.

Do you own a bus or an off-licence?

Clarification

seeing drunken louts at a GAA game sickens me.

sinn fein  continue to slide in the polls not looking good for them.

Was that poll taken in Kerry, (Kerryforsam)
maybe they polled all your aliases.

[What do people think about international trips for GAA teams?]

What do people think about international trips for GAA teams?

GAA in Europe has shot up over the last 5 years, there are over 100 clubs all over Europe now. There seems to be huge potential in team bonding trips overseas, as you'd see in soccer, rugby, hockey etc... I'm not talking about County teams going away for warm-weather training camps now, I'm talking about trips for casual football, Hurling/Camogie tournaments. I see lots of G4MO teams going on trips to France and Spain lately.

(I'm a member of a European GAA club FYI)

Would such a trip be a good idea or does this have no place in the GAA?
If you're a player/coach/parent would you support a trip?

where do Kerry go     

A very good goal there for New York. Penalty to Mayo.

I assume you are talking about NY first goal,
second goal was inept defending(understatement),
I know S Coen tries hard, but sorry that type of defending ain,t cutting it.
Simply not inter county standard defending

For ease of reference to benefit the more casual fan.

I'll update the post with results each weekend.

Thank you
