Putting the questions to bed

SO at least that's all sorted. Galway are out and meekly at that. Armagh are as vulnerable as we thought beneath the sheer Croke Park stands.

Sligo are as daft as a brush, but all the more endearing for it. And Kerry? Well, they’re yesterday’s Croke Park unpredictables.

Sure, there are sages at the shop this morning telling us they saw it coming. How the Kingdom were on a mission of atonement for Munster, and all that Páirc Uí Chaoimh stuff. How the ring road to the quarter finals had sharpened their competitive senses. How Galway would suffer for the lack of cut and thrust.
