Another Tyrone victory over de duds here
As George Hamilton would say, defeat changes nothing there for Louth. A minimum 1 point victory over Kerry will qualify them, had they won today they’d likely still have failed to qualify without getting something off Kerry.

Whst was the body language of the teams in Castlebar look like? Did anyone even want to be there?
Looked another pathetic crowd the one time i flicked over for 30 seconds.
We’ve more members in Crokes than there are LOL fans pal.
11k and something. More than I expected actually.
Louth had a bit of a vibe of a team who’d come to Castlebar in the qualifiers back in the day and narrowly lose. The Mayo supporters had none of the panic and urgency of those occasions however.

Huh, we get 40k for the cup final
You get a few hundred for league games
Nice pitch opening vibe in Ballybofey.
Roscommon 1-21 Sligo 1-11.
An epic “lose by less than the other” scoring difference duel between Kildare and Sligo in store on the FINAL DAY.
Vinny Corey having a Colm Collins like first season after being guilt tripped into being the guardian of Monaghan football when nobody else would do it.
Sean Cavanagh has a little dig/joke at Joanne’s expense
Hope he enjoyed his time on the show

What was the joke for those of us who had forgotten to switch back after the hurling?
Joanne said something the lines “The Derry forwards have made a fool out of me”
The soon to be former analyst said “wouldn’t be hard”

The Sunday Game with a caption advertising next week’s coverage of “Clare v Limerick T.I. at 1:45pm” and “Kilkenny v Galway T.I. at 4pm”.
I thought for a second they were advertising two Inter-County v Fitzgibbon BOX OFFICE challenge games.
Not unlike Joe Dooley’s tenure in Offaly
Classic 65’s right beside each other here in Ballybofey
Ulster football pitches shouldn’t have 65s at all.
I was disappointed Kildare and Dublin didn’t turn up to Nowlan Park yesterday and find no 45 line marked out.

There’s something not there for Derry. I’d say the shine is gone off the diamond. There’s a soft All Ireland for someone this year.
In Vinny Corey’s first season, Monaghan have performed their obligatory final day Houdini act in the NFL, beaten Tyrone in Omagh in a rattlingly entertaining Ulster quarter-final before the inevitable beating at the hands of Rory Gallagher and Derry, turned around and pulled off a rattlingly entertaining draw against a Rory Gallagherless Derry, and now secured qualification in a seemingly rattlingly entertaining home tie against Clare - a game the whole country, and especially everybody in Monaghan - expected them to lose.
They now have a free hit against Donegal and we all know they’ll win that, as Monaghan fucking love playing Donegal, especially a surly, disinterested Donegal. They’ll probably finish second to Derry on scoring difference and get a home last 12 tie against a surly, disinterested Kildare, another team they love playing. They’ll win that and qualify for the quarter-finals.
In the quarter-finals they’ll inevitably draw Dublin and lose 1-18 to 0-9, tagging on a few points at the end to attain a slightly more respectful look on the scoreboard.

An absolute thunderbastard from Doherty.
It’s almost like if you sprint through a static defence you can create a goal chance.
Disappointing not to see him play the percentages and take the sensible option however.
