Who do you think will win the Sam "08" - excluding Kerry

[billy the kid]

Only meself voting for Donegal so far - we're always better for being the underdog anyway. 

See you in the first round G.  Should be a good game hope both teams try to play football and dont go all negative like Armagh Tyrone would.

In fairness Ulster looks fascinating this year with so many teams fancying their chances.

Bar Down, Antrim, Cavan and Fermanagh, everyone else has realistic Ulster title aims.

I fancy Fermanagh to cause a stir in this year's championship and definitely wouldn't have them down with that lot! You can swap them with Tyrone

[billy the kid]

Think your being a bit sore on Tyrone their exile and remember they are on the weak side of the draw

Think Fermanagh will give that crowd of savages from Monaghan a run for it though and will probably be waiting on the winners of Derry/Donegal in the semis.

And your def right I wouldnt have Fermanagh down there with that crowd.

apologies to Fermanagh, havent seen much of them this year so might have been a wee bit unfair on them.

Jaysis i know Laois haven't a hope but Louth,Kildare,Roscommon and Sligo are ya having a laugh putting them in instead of Laois ?

Sounds about right, but maybe a bit unfair on the Connaught champions lumping them in with serial dissapointers Laois

I think Tyrone will give Sam a good run for the money this year. At least according to my sources *coughs*

That said, I've a feeling Dublin is going to come out on top and claim Sam.

Well it took Kerry to stop us last year. Ulsters best couldnt do it

Lads, put the house (and I mean the WHOLE HOUSE) on Cork to beat Kerry in Munster this year. Kerry will not win the All-Ireland. I think there are a number of teams who would give them a serious rattle in Croker. Look at last year, scraped by Monaghan by a point, the Dubs by 2 and then Cork collapsed catastrophically in the final. You'd think they were the Harlem Globetrotters the way some people go on about them. The last closely contested All-Ireland final Kerry won was in 2000. Some would say "It hasn't been a contest since because they are so good." More to do with Mayo and Cork rolling over for them in 2004, 2006 & 2007 if you ask me. They were both beaten before the ball was even thrown in.

Derry would've beaten Dublin last year but for the referee. No bitterness though, we missed chances to beat youse anyway.

[ziggysego]

Tyrone will knock Derry out of Ulster.

[thejuice]

The last closely contested All-Ireland final Kerry won was in 2002.

You mean the last closely contested All-Ireland Kerry won was 2000 Vs Galway.

Anyhoo, by my reckoning they will need to be beat before the final, they seem to up a gear for each stage and I reckon like last year someone just needs that extra push in the closing stages to put them out. I dont think they are unbeatable but they will take a hell of an effort to beat. But you never know, anyone can have an off day even Kerry.

Everyone would have beaten us in every game we ever played in but for the referee according to ye lot!

The ref me hole, Stephen Cluxton was the reason you didnt beat us last year.

Eoin Bradley contrbiuted well to Dublin's cause in that game too if remember rightly.
