Clares fitness levels were just not good enough yesterday, if they were anyway near what would be acceptable from a team playing at this stage of the championship Armagh would be out.

Through all the bluster on this thread you do have a point here. To counter that though Armagh did shoot 18 wides. Some of these were frees they would normally put over with their eyes closed. Overall I thought they were 2 evenly matched teams. Neither would have enough to trouble a decent team.

The Super 8s won't have 8 super teams. Because there aren't that many. Maybe there will be a Super 4 lording it over a Sloppy 4.

Nobody will want to meet Tyrone but there should be a health warning with their matches.

The standard was not good but it looks as if Tyrone are bound for the Super 8. However, they were quite sloppy and are still a bit behind the top sides. They have not changed from last year when their style was picked apart by Dublin.

Maybe there will be a Super 1 and a half!

It could be Snow white and the 7 dwarves.
If the Super 8 features the kind of hammerings that the Provincial finals had it won't be good.

If they make it, Kildare's home game would be v Galway. Interesting!

sid waddell

Galway v Monaghan for a place in the All-Ireland semi-finals. Bank Holiday weekend, races weekend.

It'll be CHAOS!

I can't wait for the controversy.

Looking ahead to the 15th July are they going to go head to head with the World cup final (4pm)?

They could just about have a triple header on the Saturday. Kerry - Galway, Fermanagh/Kildare - Laois/Monaghan and Cork/Tyrone - rosscomon/Armagh. Have the Dublin - Donegal game at 1pm on the Sunday

It's well known in GAA circles down here that the north lads hate soccer.

So it'll be Dubs v Donegal and Kerry v Galway on Saturday, with the all Ulster double bill on Sunday!

Sure we might get a bank holiday if England win on the Sunday.

The sad part about it is the game game could be a dead rubber if Galway lose first 2 games and Monaghan win theirs.
