Does anyone have any predictions of what will happen with then gaa in the next decade.
Do you think that by the end of the decade we will see a new format where provincials or scrapped all together or done sperately from all ireland.
Dublin will win the next ten Leinster football titles.
Had to think long and hard about that one!
Massive disengagement by players and fans alike on the inter county game, with tiered championship and unequal funding.
Average fan priced out and bored out of inter county game.
Most AI games on Sky. Fans unable to see many free to air matches.
The AI championship regularly contested seriously by 3 or 4 teams, whose players have no jobs, but "funded" to play county ball.
HQ become more like the DUP, not listening to their membership.
Lots of strikes by players and teams.
Sticking my neck out... eight out of ten All Ireland titles will go to Dublin.
Donegal will win another Ulster or two in the early years of the decade, but we will slip back again once Murphy is done.

Sadly, I agree with most of this. The tiered championship in football will not work imo. Most will just get bored of the inter county game, can see attendances rising in club games.
Lots of strikes by players and teams.
I expect a fair slide in the standard of the Mayo Senior team. There are a lot of top quality players coming to the end. The GAA will be hoping Mayo stay competitive. They depend on the gate receipts from the Mayo following.
Bennycake to say something positive before 31/12/2029.
Micky Harte to be against everything.
Dublin to complete 15 in a row before they big split in 2030.
Carlow to refuse to join South Leinster as they say are much too important.
3 teams to compete in International Rules series -Australia, Ireland GAA and Ireland AFL.
Martin Breheny to publish a book "List if my 50 best lists".
Roscommon and Galway to meet in every Connacht Final and FBD Final.
Hurling will still be putting football in the shade in 10 years time.
Not to be all joe brolly but football has gone to shite and something serious needs done about it.
The Dublin thing ok but to me it's the defensive drivel that passes for football at many levels. Tactics are valued over ability. Some of the club football you see at lower levels isn't good at all.
There aren't very many county teams never mind club teams that can play some of the defensive stuff on view.
On a serious note it's very hard to predict the next decade . There is a fair bit of excitement about Kerry and rightly so , they have fantastic talent down there . You'd expect the honors to be a battle between themselves and Dublin . Galway have got to be in with a chance soon too , need to still unearth a lee Keegan and Keith Higgins imo but . Ros will be decent simply cause they have a shed load of cash and some footballers . Up north Donegal and Tyrone strongest but look like they just can't find enough to actually beat Dublin .
All said and done I'd expect Kerry to win the all Ireland next year , I think they have a pain in their hole with all the greatness been given to Dublin . If they do fall short again and again , we could see major change in structure, so as a looker in do we want a sticky plaster put on the unfairness of Dublin dominance by Kerry snatching a couple of sams or would you rather Dublin win 6/7/8 in a row and then surely someone will stand up that matters .
Not a hope Galway will get near winning an AI, larry
Next 10 will be shared by Dublin and Kerry. Likely 9-1 or 8-2
Joe Brolly to become Dublin GAA's full time PRO and Cheer Leader.
Tyrone to reach the AI semi-finals or Finals every year of the next decade (but not win unless they meet Monaghan).
Harte to start every year of the decade saying he is building for the future.
Mayo to come from nowhere get to an AI final and lose after a replay.
Media to say that this is the best team not to win an All Ireland.
An average Kerry to win an All Ireland against the head.
Cork and Galway to meet in an All Ireland football semi-final with only an attendance of less than 10 thousand. Much of the crowd is attributed to the curtain raiser minor match between Mayo and Kildare.
Cavan will make the Super 8! Get beaten by Dublin by 27 points. Media say that there are hints in the game as how to beat Dublin.
Jim Galvin (now a pundit) talks about how close Cavan ran Dublin.

Yeah, Hurling has made great strides in Mayo, Antrim, Cavan and Offaly the last 140 years. You can't beat a good Derby game between Mayo and Galway in Hurling, totally outshines the football equivalent.
I must have dreamt about Offaly winning 4 Hurley Finals in the 80s/90s?
Casement Park will host a World Cup quarter final. The event will be marred as an aging Marcus Rashford is bottled getting off the bus by a disgruntled resident.
Armagh will achieve their primary goal of the decade by winning the McKenna Cup.
Cavan will request a direct provision centre to be set up in each town in the county as none of their players will play for them due to the lack of craic
Dublin will enter a C team in the league, a B team in Leinster and their A team will play in the super 8.
Everyone will say Kerry are coming but it doesnt happen although they do best Dublins C team in the league
Roscommon quit football and instead set up a consultancy company to advise other counties on fundraising. Mayo and Galway are their biggest customers.

15 in a row we going for!!! 🤔
The GAA will have a big crisis driven by either public revulsion at the Dubs or a collapse in attendance receipts or both
Hurling will see Laois getting to a semi
Cork will win a hurling all Ireland
So will Galway and Limerick
Mickey Harte will retire
Joanne Cantwell will move on
Derry will get their shit together
Cavan and Roscommon will stop their synchronised yo-yoing between D1 and D2.
Cavan will win one Ulster
Fermanagh will win one too.
Dublin and Kerry to share the spoils with maybe an..other thrown in.
The rule changes and restructuring will continue so much to the game of Gaelic football or as some people like to say 'evolved' to something unrecognisable from its former self.
Hurling will continue to build. Some more new Leinster counties will join the top counties.
Dublin will reach an AI hurling final....but not win one.
Cork will win at least one hurling AI
Meath to win back to back O'Byrne Cups!
Dublin to win only 9 Leinster titles!

I watched the full Kerry v Dublin drawn game from 2001 on Eir Sports over the Christmas. Today's game is like watching another sport compared to it. Back then players and managers were more willing to take risks and there was lttle focus on strength and conditioning which is key for the top teams today.
Will be more tweaks over the next decade but no amount rule changes will get us back to the game we once had.

4 teams, Donegal, Tyrone and 2 others to win the Ulster championship in the decade. This will be 3 more than will win Leinster.

But less than half the teams in the Connacht championship.
Provincial championships to be played off in the spring. Our best format competition the NFL to be scrapped A Super 4 group to be introduced for All Ireland semi finals and the All Ireland final to be played in July.
The Tommy Murphy cup mark 2 will be no interest to players, managers and supporters but will be kept in place for all of this decade. U20, U17 championships replaced by one U19 championship.

Around 2030 we will have first artist impression of new Croke Park to be completed in 2040. It will be renamed after the first leader of the reunited Ireland.

that's the kind of sentence that need to end with 'p***k'
Roscommon to withdraw from football merge with ballymore and stick to shifting dodgy Foreign houses
Dublin to become a province with 6 super clubs becoming county teams
David Clifford to become Ireland 1st openly Professional Footballer , sean o Se to shoot himself
tyrone form their own very very amatuer all ireland championship.
All Ireland ladies final to sell out crokepark with nearly 15% of attendees paying to get in .
Mayo to nearly Win sam every year to become most Loved team of all Time , realize they would spoil it all by winning
Dublin 4, Kerry 4, Galway 1, Mayo 1.
Was talking amongst my friends, Dessie Farrells tenure, what is success and what is failure over the next 3 years.
2/3 is a success
1/3 is satisfactory (:) )
0/3 failure.
The player i am looking for to most to seeing develop over the next few years is Ó Cofaigh Byrne.

Hard to predict what'll happen 10 years ahead.
If you'd said to me in 1997 that Armagh would win the All Ireland within 5 years, I'd have drove you to the nuthouse. Sure enough, it happened.
The next 10 Sam's will be Dublin 7, Kerry 3.
Will take Mayo, Monaghan a few years to build after their current teams breaks up. Just dont think Galway have an AI in them. Tyrone, not quite there.
As many head to the big cities to live and work, we'll see a lot of rural clubs fold or amalgamate with another. One club in Tyrone had to merge with another recently. Can't recall their name.
Armagh TV to become available in UHD so everyone can clearly see how shoite McGeeney's outfit really are. Tyrone to TV continue to be deliberately shoite on Mickey's orders so the AFL can't spot the next McShane!
Hard to predict anything beyond Dublin likely remaining the favourites for the All-Ireland. Kerry and possibly Donegal seem best placed to challenge them, Tyrone if they can play as well as they did in the 1st half of the semi-final, and Mayo I'm really not sure about. Certainly wouldn't put it past them to cause some damage.
I'll post something pessimistic before nearly every game involving Mayo.
Considering we've had a decade now of ultra defensive football, numbers behind the ball and crab football tactics, are we likely to see anything different in the next decade?
Next 4 presidents try to undo the damage John Horan has left behind him
We will do away with the championship altogether and just have a six game all Ireland series between Kerry and Dublin starting in July. I'd watch it.
