That was a match. Fair play to Galway, especially considering three or four of their top players were well short of match fitness. If they get all those firing they will take a lot of stopping. Delighted for Pádraig Joyce. Also fair play to Sean Hurson, refereed as he saw it. Is he the first referee over the ten past years or so who gave nothing handy to Dublin. Actually Vet fair comment on Hurson he pull a blatant throw ball in second half when Dublin were through, secondly overturned a ball, Booked Fitzsimons and gave a free in... all proper and justified calls ... First time in long time that their bench was fruitless |

Of course, we have our work cut out for us on Sunday playing Derry and all our focus is on it but thinking more broadly it’s amazing how often other results can impact other games happening the same weekend. Not saying it will happen but WHAT IF Galway turned Dublin over on Saturday? How would it psychologically impact the Derry vs Kerry fixture? Unlikely to happen but you never know but a suprise result can often have a domino effect, just saying. Well, well, well, we'll find out tomorrow but this result should rise all. The courage and heart showed by Galway playing great football in the second half was tremendous to see. Fair play and well done Galway!!! |

Well done Galway. I’m in shock, I suppose we are so used to seeing Dublin pull it out of the bag with 3 to go. Holy God. It’s a whole new world tomorrow now, seems there’s even more on the line. If Dublin can be knocked out by a weakened Galway side, I hope that will be enough for Kerry to come out fighting.

Fair fecks to Galway. Heart and grit. S.Walsh kicked some majestic points 1st half. Hope injury not too bad as love watching quality footballers.
Referee was brilliant [best ref in country]
Commiserations to Dublin. I felt tonight was the night there legs finally gave out. End of an era for some of games greatest ever warriors.

Wowee .. Dublin started their bench players... McCarthy, McCaffrey etc... do had no.impact off the bench as a result Galway also completely nullified Fenton... I'm hoarse... yeah dubs panicked starting those lads. McCarthy no legs on the whole game. Con should have scored that last chance all day. |

Fair dues to Galway, stayed in it, finished strong, maybe dublin played into there hands early part of game, by not pushing on and forcing the game, they did not take advantage that Galway were out last week.

Referee was brilliant [best ref in country] Commiserations to Dublin. I felt tonight was the night there legs finally gave out. End of an era for some of games greatest ever warriors. My thoughts exactly. Dublin looked like the aging team they are. Con O' Callaghan was left a lone wolf trying to drag Dublin over the line when it came down to the wire. Dessie will take some serious flack for starting the 15 he did. How James McCarthy stayed on the pitch for the entire match given he was struggling so bad to keep pace was a remarkable decision. Not to take anything from Galway. They were simply majestic in the 2nd half. Cillian McDaid, if it needs saying, was absolutely outstanding. They drove Dublin into submission. A betting man certainly would have a flutter on Galway right now. They'll take stopping on the back of this. I believe one of the permutations is they can't draw Armagh in the semi final. |

Ah well, you can’t always have your favourite referee and his family of umpires. That old wheel is constantly rotating. |

If Donegal and Kerry win tomorrow then we play Armagh. If Derry and Donegal it's an open draw. It would be anther big shock if Louth go through.

We certainly have seen them given. To me it looked high enough on Comer to warrant a free in. Interesting to hear the views of the experts on it. It certainly brought back memories of that decision last year. |

Congrats to Galway, great for the championship. Didn't see that coming, going 6 - 2 behind after 15 mins, 11 - 7 down at half-time. Even 14 - 11 after 58 mins, Shane Walsh going off, Sean Kelly gone, and Comer looking not even half fit.
You knew Dublin were off it, but seemed like it wasn't going to be Galway's day.
Suddenly looks like the end of an era for Dublin, it was a tired second-half performance, and it's not a great age-profile for a lot of the players they're looking to.

No local Meath lads living within the border to protect them tonight. |

Fair play to Galway for getting over the line but I honestly don’t think it was a case of they played brilliantly, more so Dublin were so poor. Galway will admit themselves there’s a better performance in them considering how wasteful they were in front of the posts, Comer not contributing at all and Sean Kelly and Shane Walsh going off injured. Dublin were so poor in that 2nd half, beaten by 5 but they were completely dominated just didn’t bring anything. This is a relatively poor Dublin team, they have no absolutely brilliant player and a lot of very average ones. I felt at the time last year’s final was possibly the most disappointing/frustrating semi or final loss of recent years but it feels even more like that now.

If Derry and Donegal win then I think Galway will be playing Donegal as they have played Derry & Armagh already. Derry and Armagh would’ve played other 3 so a repeat is unavoidable. |

If we win we get Armagh no mater what happens in the the other game Not quite. If Donegal wins then Armagh play Kerry (having already played Donegal) but in the unlikely event of Louth winning then it is possible for Louth and Kerry to play either Galway or Armagh, so there would be 50% chance of Kerry v Armagh. |

Derry and Armagh have played all 3. If Derry win it's an open draw As I understand it the rule is to avoid repeat pairings if possible. Galway haven’t played Donegal so that’s the only game that would avoid 2 repeat pairings. |

Armagh and Derry played each other also, so open draw You can’t avoid a repeat pairing if Donegal and Derry win but the only way to avoid 2 repeat pairings is for Galway to play Donegal. That’s how I read it anyway. |

Abbot & Costello is going back a bit. Pre Golden years I would guess. Black and white.
I didn't expect a Galway win but if Louth beat Donegal I will eat my hat (and I don't buy into Donegal being brilliant either).
Galway beat a very under-performing Dublin today. They are far from the real deal. Comer was anonymous. Cillian Mc Daid getting back to the potential he showed two years ago. They need all their star players on the field. Their bench made the difference today. Dublin s didn't.
