And I took the 11/5 on the rossies, it covered the trip to Cork, While ros only won by a goal they were the much better team for most of the game and should really have won by more.
We will be back next year with a better prepared team and a better panel as we have 4 of our best players returning and as Anthony Cunningham only took over the squad in the middle of last December there was limited s&c done as we were straight into a div 1 campaign.
Some of the predictors on here were calling anything up to 8 point win for Cork.
Always look at the form [not just one match] and also the history of teams.

Didn't you also call a 6 point win for Donegal? 

Those who are afraid to make a prediction are afraid to be wrong and those who are afraid to be wrong should not comment on those who are not afraid.
But I hope ye enjoy Andy Morans testimonial match next Saturday because Im not afraid to say ye will be hammered and so you can comment on my prediction if i am wrong let us have your prediction or are YOU AFRAID

Not afraid of making predictions in the slightest, I was one of the winners on here in an early round but not great since unfortunately and I missed last week's as I was in the middle of moving house.

My post was in reference to the two lines at the end of your own post which you would have done well to have taken heed of yourself in relation to the Mayo game

Stay tuned later in the week and I'll let you know if I decide to let the heart rule the head 

Lets look at the form, Donegal coasted in Ulster beating Tyrone easily on the way,
Beat meath and drew with kerry having lost their first choice full backline,
Mayo lost to ros, beat only galway that played div 1 football this year, barely got past Armagh, Cavan had beaten armagh after a replay and donegal had easily beaten cavan. No matter how you draw the form line it pointed to a donegal win. The only maybe against donegal was they had not been exposed to the level of intensity that mayo bring and that indeed proved to be the defining factor.
History, championship history is the only one you count when looking at championship games and its much of a muchness on that count with both teams having important wins in the recent past and indeed not a lot of history between them.

Dublin by 3
Tyrone v Kerry is hard one but given Tyrone's resilience, think they will edge it by 1 or 2.

Genuinely surprised to see Tyrone so heavily tipped (Albeit by small margins). Only ones tipping Kerry are the Tyrone posters!!

For me a flick of the coin between it.

Dublin by 7
Other game a draw

[Ball Hopper]

With 20 informed opinions given thus far, there is interesting reading:

Dublin 15 Mayo 4, 1 Draw

Tyrone 12 Kerry 5, 3 Draws.

Dublin/Tyrone double picked by 9

Dublin/Kerry double picked by 4

Mayo/Tyrone double picked by 3

AND

Nobody picks a Mayo/Kerry final.

Make of that what you will...
