All-Ireland QFs: Armagh/Roscommon, Dublin/Galway, Donegal/Louth, Kerry/Derry

[Hoof Hearted]

Be 6 teams believing tonight.

[Armagh18]

Unreal. Subs fairly stood up and the pure hunger their defenders showed was a joy to watch.

Brilliant Galway....some result.
Weekend for the underdogs?

[Main Street]

Should have been a penalty for Dublin there. Cons shot was blocked by the upper leg of Galway no 7. Definitely a foot block

It hit his leg. Wasn't blocked by leg.

Yes but he lifted his foot by 1cm to make the contact, therefore a nailed on foot block.

I thought both teams were throwing the game away in the last 5 mins but Dublin were better in that department. That was a brilliant 2nd half from Galway considering how the first half went and with Sean Hurson gifting the Dubs an easy late free.

[Itchy]

Fantastic 2nd half, didn't see that coming at half time. Championship is wide open now. Hard luck to Dubs, a great team and was going to take a special effort to beat them.

[Hoof Hearted]

IF Derry were to win tomorrow would it just be 4 teams in a bowl, a la FA Cup, as a repeat group pairing can't be prevented.

[straightred]

Terrible 2nd half from the Dubs. Got what they deserved

[Itchy]

You'd have to say the momentum galway got from 3 games in 3 weeks stood to them there.

If Donegal and Derry win, what way does that leave it? Open draw?

[Armagh18]

If Donegal and Derry win, what way does that leave it? Open draw?

Well then we'd have played all 3. Maybe Galway vs Donegal as they havent played and us vs Derry? "Avoid repeat pairing where possible". Galway Donegal would be the only way of avoiding repeat pairing for one game anyway. 

[Hound]

Never a free for Comer & never a sideline for Galway.
2 point swing.

That was a big moment, a turning point that gave Galway the real belief they could do it.

But there was still a lot of work to do in the final quarter to outscore the Dubs, and boy did they grab it with both hands. And all the Mayo lads saying in this thread that it was impossible to play 3 games in 3 weeks!! Maybe that's the difference between a positive outlook rather than doom and gloom

Well done Galway. In a one point game there are always lot of incidents you can point to on both sides, but absolutely no complaints. We really should have taken it to ET, but Galway didn't let us.  I find the Galway team a very likeable bunch of lads. Congrats, enjoy the night and give it your all in the semi.

If Derry win it's an open draw.
Otherwise repeat pairings can be avoided.

Congratulations to Galway, no disrespect to the Dubs have been a great team but no harm to see them knocked out so soon

Up there with the best championship results Galway have produced when you consider today was their 3rd match in 14 days and up against a rested Dublin in their home patch. The rossies in the earlier match showed all the signs of that tough schedule especially their shooting and case not helped of course with playing the all of the 2nd half with 14 men.

Serious belief and momentum for Galway now going into the semi final and it will take a top team to beat them now.
