Ulster Championship 2025

Assuming you are referring to Antrim but you couldn't be more wrong

In what way am I wrong? Antrim deprived the Ulster council of revenue. You may think that is a good thing, but you cannot deny it.

Boylesports  odds for reaching Ulster final

Donegal  4/7
Armagh 4/5
Tyrone 11/8
Monaghan 7/2
Derry 4/1
Down 6/1
Cavan 14/1
Antrim 33/1
Fermanagh 33/1

Then every county that doesn't have the seating of clones in the county pitch is depriving the Ulster council of revenue if they don't agree to move it to Clones. Idiotic take.

Boo hoo.

I highly doubt anyone see's an Armagh Donegal final as a foregone conclusion. Donegal should come through their side more than likely, but assuming Armagh and Tyrone meet in the semi it is a 50:50 game.

Donegal will have to play two teams, Monaghan and Derry, with a reasonable chance of tripping them up and some chance of an upset in the Ulster final, look at Down last year. Donegal could pick an injury or two along the way to a key man.
There is probably scope for some arbitrage on the betting, Boylesports have Donegal at 11/8 to win Ulster and I wouldn't take that, they have to get to the final and the winners of Armagh and Tyrone would be pretty much an even game. Paddypower have Donegal at 2/1, but seem to favour Tyrone over Armagh, so PP are not certain that either Donegal or Armagh will reach the final, and they know their business, probably are more professionally run than the Ulster council.   

I've seen car boot sales run more professionally than the Ulster Council

Anyone know is Paddy Lynch back playing for Cavan?

[rodney trotter]

No he had a setback. Might not feature at County level this year.

Disappointing he would have been a player worth watching under new rules.

Walk in the park for Donegal this weekend.
Will probably win Ulster at a canter now that Messiah #2 is back in the fold.
Donegal for Sam.

I think Donegal will get by Derry with reasonable comfort.
Currently, I would hold them as slight favourites for both Ulster and the AI, but multiple teams are capable of knocking them out of these competitions. Ulster is never a walk in the park.
The All-Ireland hasn't been this open for a long time.

How are Donegal shaping up for this weekend? Any injuries of note?
Murphy expected to start?
Derry could struggle to get 15 fit players on the field so should be handy enough for Donegal. Or will it?

[twohands!!!]

What's the over/under on likely changes to both starting teams there from the named 15?
Donegal team in particular look like there is serious scope for a few last minute switches, Derry slightly less so. Looks to be a bit of a gap in terms of the Derry bench v the Donegal bench.

[J70]

I'll be amazed if Oisin Gallen doesn't start for Aaron Doherty, but that aside, with Jason McGee only edging his way back, I think the Donegal line-up will be close enough. Keep McBrearty, Brennan and Murphy as impact subs. Two strong defenders in Curran and McMenamin to come on as well.

[Captain Obvious]

A handful of Jimmy's named bench will be starters come throw in.

Who apart from Gallen?
