WHERE’S STEVIE? (Hint: the answer’s probably not Chelsea.)
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Where’s Wally, illustrator Martin Handford has created a special commemorative poster of a host of current England internationals hiding among the crowds near Wembley Stadium.
Steven Gerrard, Joe Hart, Frank Lampard and Glen Johnson all feature. How many can you find? And how many others have we missed?
Now look how costly that collapse by Galway against Armagh was. The difference between a quarter final against Roscommon or Louth as opposed to a quarter final against Dublin or kerry.
@Ray Ridge: you said the same about Galway in the Connacht final against Mayo…you were wrong. Then you predicted Derry to beat them easily…you were wrong again.

Ah the wee county. Well done lads. Great work by Ger Brennan. We can dream.
Well done louth but what has happened to gaa football so unwatchable now pass back pass back
@Square: Ta ta bye bye.Game over, job done.
Brilliant win by the wee county,the wife and in-laws will be delighted
The Wee County triumphs against the arrogant county.
@Ron Burgundy: How were they arrogant?
@Tom O’ Donnell: I said the arrogant county, wasn’t referring specifically to the footballers.
@Ron Burgundy: Arrogant in what sense? I bet you couldn’t give one simple intelligent answer that would make sense.
@Ron Burgundy: your first comment was stupid and your second confirms you know zero about Counties and their supporters.
Cork are one of the best supported countries in the country, so pipe down
@Ron Burgundy: Idiot
Now look how costly that collapse by Galway against Armagh was. The difference between a quarter final against Roscommon or Louth as opposed to a quarter final against Dublin or kerry.
@Ray Ridge: according to you cork are better than Galway. You really are getting found out badly this year lol
Why is making the quarter final history when they have won an all Ireland?
@tbEE5DMm: Because it’s their first time ever making an all Ireland quarter final. Not that difficult I would have thought.
@tbEE5DMm: there wasn’t quarter finals back in the day. The provisional winners went to a semi.
@Ray Ridge: always with the pr ick pants on
@Barry Baz: Oh hi baz.
@Ray Ridge: But they won an All Ireland so making the quarters isn’t history. It’s not that hard
@James Murphy: I understand that but when you’ve won an all Ireland the quarters isn’t making history
@tbEE5DMm: Stop it please.
@Ray Ridge: Oh Ray told me to stop it so I better stop it. An All Ireland tops a quarter final. It’s really not that hard
Fantastic to see Louth reaching the last 8
A Wee Win, as J-LO once said, “Let’s get Louth”!
No double this year still we have the hurlers
Best of luck to Louth, but what a terrible game to watch, football is really gone to the dogs, boring, boring, boring.
@ Ray Ridge. Ah Ray are you saying that Galway team would beat Louth. Dont think they would.
@Michael Carroll: Well whatever hope they would have against Louth, they have none against Dublin or kerry.
@Ray Ridge: you said the same about Galway in the Connacht final against Mayo…you were wrong. Then you predicted Derry to beat them easily…you were wrong again.
I didn’t see it but hats off to Louth ! More luck them
I thought that this story was about Louth reaching the quater finals, seemingly not.
@Michael Carroll: an awful lot of lads venting here. Enjoy it. It’s not everyday we do so well
On the Lú!
Good on Louth making history qualifying for their first ever all Ireland quarter final.
Now if they win it they won’t be making history as a semi finalist, finalist or all Ireland winner.
1957 Louth’s last Sam
0067 years since Louth won, added together makes 2024,
An omen!! :)
Good result for football and tbh its needs some bit of an uplift as the football being played by counties now is bordering on toxic.
Would be great to see Louth getting a decent draw and possibly making the semi’s
Hopefully the dubs to play them again
Cork for the double……
His mother “Beirne”?!
Who received the motm award?
@colmkearney39@hotmail.com: me for sitting through it
