He wasn't having any of it!

Dublin are back in the All-Ireland SFC semi-finals, following their 1-25 to 1-21 win over Galway at Croke Park today.

Despite being six points down in the second half, the Dubs rallied and were soon back in front, with help from a Con O'Callaghan penalty.

Having lost the Leinster final to Westmeath and to Louth in Round 1 of the All-Ireland, the Sky Blues had some soul searching to do.

However, they were boosted by the return of manager Ger Brennan, following his 12-week ban, and produced two of their best performances in wins over Cavan and today's victory.

After the quarter-final win, Dublin keeper Evan Comerford was asked a cheeky question by ex-Monaghan player Conor McManus, regarding Brennan's return.

But the shot-stopper boxed clever and returned a quip of his own.

McManus asked: "Your best performances of the year have come since Ger Brennan is back.

"Is he taking all the credit for that now, is it all on Ger?"

Comerford replied: "You've probably swung that narrative now have you."

He had a great game in the nets and did well not to bite to that question.
