All Ireland Championship 2025.

[galwayman]

Galway are a shambles.

Armagh's football IQ is about 20 points higher.

We're gone to the dogs this year.
You'd have to worry for us going forward after this year as there isn't a huge amount of talent coming up.

Referee making some bizarre decisions in this Derry game!

Referee making some bizarre decisions in this Derry game!

McFauls reputation and general conduct in the game probably did him no favours there.

As a Derry man, I think the ref has been quite harsh on Dublin a few times, but we will take them all day

Galway have turned into complete bottle merchants

It's not bottling. It's tactics / lack thereof. They (same as in AI final last year) seemingly have no concept how to attack at pace. They go around in circles and continually end up having to break down 2 banks of 5. Hence their only moments of note in the half came from that "back door cut" pass Fitzmaurice likes to talk about. That's the pass that you only take on when shite ponderous football has removed all the simple options.

[Truthsayer]

The West have become the greatest shower of bottlers... dreadful.

[screenexile]

That was bizarre too, is the ball supposed to be moved 50m or just straight to the edge of the D??

Great performance from Derry after a worrying start but means nothing if we don't back it up 2nd half.

[Baling Twine]

What combination puts Galway out?

[befair]

Derry hanging in; 2 pters being crucial, despite Dubs starting like a train

[Delgany 2nds]

What combination puts Galway out?

If derry & Galway get beat, it's down to
Score difference

[tyroneStatto]

Surely the Galway players have to look at themselves at half time here.

[Wildweasel74]

Some amount of playacting going on in this Dublin game, looking frees all the time, and Derry losing too many balls in the tackle. We getting murdered on break ball in midfield, our Keeper can only go long and everybody knows what side he's kicking  5/6 secs b4 he kicks it.

[Schkite]

Up to Mayo tomorrow to redeem the Wesht it seems, in a game few are backing them in

Yet would you be shocked if they did it...

[lenny]

Not sure how Derry are level. We're getting destroyed on the kick outs. Need to start to get a grip there or Dublin will pull away

Loughlin got a pretty handy one seemed to lose control of ball. Glad Derry having a real cut of it should be good second half.
