Hard to follow the logic as with only 4 teams it is harder to avoid repeats.

But "thems the rules"

Yeah it makes no sense Armagh couldn't have met Tyrone in the semi final because of a match in Ulster but could have met them in the groups, preliminary quarter final, quarter final or final. Madness

Decent chance obviously that if we get to a semi we'll have already played all 3 teams.

And let's be honest. If there is one man who may know how to control Shane walsh it would be Robbie Brennan

Galway have more than one forward. Meath haven't been playing at the elite level for long. This might count in the last 10 minutes.

Meaths last game in Croker was a defeat to an average enough Louth team. Some good wins in between but all outside Croke Park. Louth running direct caused a lot of problems. Galway have strong runners in McDaid,Tierney,Walsh, Conroy.

They wanted to avoid all forms of repeat in the semi-final. The only question is that if this is not possible do they simply stop trying or so they have a precedence order to resolve the issue?

I'm perplexed as to how people think Meath can beat Galway. Meath were beaten by an average Louth team. The worst Kildare team in living memory ran Louth close in the Leinster semi final. Meath beat below par Dublin and Kerry teams.

I just cannot see anything other than a Galway victory.

Expected nothing less than that from a Kildare fan.

Think Galway win with relative ease, 6/7 pts possibly.

I would love to see Monaghan beat Donegal, but I don't see it happening, Donegal by 4/5 pts.

Armagh v Kerry. Can't call it objectively, but the team named has given me a confidence boost.
After seeing the Tyrone team named I'm not so sure anymore, but word is Malachy O'Rourke knows more than me, so there's that to consider.

The line of form for the year isn't spectacular though tbf..

Meath were dominant in both games against Dublin and Kerry no doubt, Kerry haven't played a div 1 team in championship so hard to gauge them, Dublin were lucky against Derry, and not overly good in their other games.

So it'll be a decent game as Galway haven't set the world alight, they have a purple patch in games which effectively win the match, no consistency for 70 minutes

All the games have question marks over them, and for all the favouritism Armagh have, they've still lost 2 games in championship

Which team left has the best form?
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

I think you need to clear all history on your phone and then log in. Worked for me.

So when others fancy Galway you say nothing but when I give an opinion on  the game you throw out an insult. Paranoid much?
