Armagh to get within 5 points? Its a fairly decent advantage

Last year in the league Galway, Donegal got within 5 points of Dublin and Kerry drew with them. They never clicked into gear for the championship looks like Dublin are at the crossroads under Dessie Farrell.

Losing special players like Mannion and McCaffrey on top of the ones who've retired naturally has definitely left a vacuum.

No sign of Con, MickFitz and Jonny Cooper this year so far, so we may be missing them for Saturday. Everyone else I believe has got a run in either the OB Cup or challenges, so I expect 3 or 4 new/newish faces along with the bulk of what our first team is now.

Rock and Comerford haven't played yet either for Dublin this year.

Apparently Mick Fitzsimons,Cooper,Rock,Comerford and Con O'Callaghan played in a recent challenge against Roscommon, the latter picked up an injury in that game.

UCD knocked out of the Sigerson cup tonight in a low scoring affair against Letterkenny IT tonight 0-7 to 0-6.

Janey, you would think UCD could find fellows able to score more than 6 points. Has Brian Mullins retired?

Both was scoring high prior to that match tonight which seem to become a defensive dogfight.

Other match played tonight Queens 0-17 Carlow IT 0-16

Was there a whisper (Twitter gossip) of Mayo v Kildare to Croker instead of Carrick?

I think Kildare are really up against it to stay up. Kerry seem to be putting out strong teams already so not looking forward to their visit to Newbridge.
Overall I just don't want it all to fall apart before it starts. It's great to be back at the top table and the Dubs in Conleths will be a bit of craic.

Those odds pretty much show that it's be two of Kildare, Armagh and Monaghan to drop. I just don't trust Kildare to be consistent enough to scrape it.

Donegal and Mayo far from sure to stay up. Tyrone don’t normally peak for the league but you’d expect them to do enough.

Depends if Donegal can get Murphy back fit. Mayo have Cillian O'Connor back in training and he alone should keep them away from a relegation battle.

With only 5k allowed in stadia are the season ticket holders guaranteed aye? 

I'm hoping for some sort of review on this soon, in the hopes of getting to croke park on the 29th.

It's been widely reported that outdoors sports for late January or early February to get a increase on how many can attend. Some even saying 50% of capacity is a possibility which should cover all NFL games.

Dour spectacle of a match, Derrygonnelly looked scared stiff that half and retreated their entire side behind the 45m line effectively trying to beat Kilcoo at their own game. Mad stuff altogether, it’s a long time since I seen a Gaelic football side have so little possession in a half of football. How can you expect to score without getting the ball back.

Kilcoo have squeezed the life out of the contest.
