Sam Maguire Group 1 - Kerry, Louth, Mayo, Cork

[Itchy]

2 ridiculous frees from Conor lane to Rossies already. He's a poor ref

[screenexile]

17 steps from Durcan there

Louth left that behind them with a lack of quality. Physically and emotionally they were well up for it but just couldn't execute when it mattered fair play to them they're definitely on the up.

Mayo very flat that's all the main contenders who have been flat recently hard to predict much from the group stages.

MGHU 0-14
Louth 1-10

Who in under God has Mayo as a genuine contender to win the All-Ireland? Have they not watched football in the last 30 years?

Totally agree , I don't get where it's coming from , we are a pale shadow of the 13-17 team .

Recent SAM winners like Kerry, Dublin and Tyrone have shown no form either, all are a shadow on the 13-17 team.

That makes sense if you think of the smothering effect the 6 in a row had on the natural operation of the championship.
Tyrone got to the final in 2018 and Kerry in 2019 . Under the normal system they would have won the all Ireland the year later (Mayo have a different system).
But they  had to wait 3 years more. And 4 years is a normal cycle at the top for 1 all Ireland.

Where did you get that from? I thought you were an expert on all things GAA and plenty of other things besides...

Gremlins
the Dub stranglehold had the effect of promoting Kerry, Tyrone and Mayo as also rans. There was nobody else . Now that the Dubs are finished, there is a shortgage of contenders.

[blanketattack]

Kerry haven't looked this bad in consecutive championship appearances since their games against Cork and Sligo in 2009...

Sad to see a proud footballing county set up as they did yesterday. After 5 minutes there was only going to be 1 winner. Interesting to hear from the Louth posters on here.

The irony was at the end when Louth were 5 down did ye wake up and play football and stopped the puke. Ye done us a right favour yesterday anyhow, thanks.

[weareros]

Looking at the highlights you would not think so much money was spent on the MacHale pitch upgrade. Know we've had warm weather but looks a botched job by Mayo county board.
