Mayo in all of them. Please Lord let them be correct.

[joemamas]

Mayo in all of them. Please Lord let them be correct.

Amen

However, it is really a crapshoot.
Other than provincial winners, you cannot pick Tyrone, Monaghan, Roscommon and Mayo with any degree of confidence.
Mayo could meet Monaghan, the winners could meet Roscommon, so two out of four could be gone.
I sincerely hope they are correct.
The eight I personally would like to see
Dublin,Kerry,Galway, Donegal, Monaghan, Mayo, Roscommon and either Cavan or Tyrone.

Mayo in all of them. Please Lord let them be correct.

Fermanagh/Laois in none. Might be groupthink

Fermanagh/Laois in none. Might be groupthink

Do you think either really have a chance?

They need to win 1 match if they lose their final.
Depends on the draw. I don't know how good Monaghan and Tyrone are tbh.

You do realise that the draw is not preordained? Laois/Fermanagh could play the winners of (Louth v Leitrim) v (Cavan v Down) or Armagh, or Longford.

Have Galway beaten the Rossies already joemamas? feck i intended going to that game.

[Kuwabatake Sanjuro]

Nobody expecting a single Leinster team to make it apart from the overlords.

relax...hes just putting up a scenario where teams tipped can be drawn to knock each other out, mayo couldnt play galway in round 4 so no point putting up rossies/galway

[Farrandeelin]

Saw Monaghan v Fermanagh in the flesh. Sadly they're not all they're made out to be in my opinion.

The whole prediction thing is daft. Sure every e has mayo and Tyrone in the last 8 yet they could easily be drawn to play each other in the next round. I'd say 2 places will be down to the luck of the draw.

[The Boy Wonder]

If you want the highest ranking teams AND equal provincial representation the best outcome would be :

Group 1
Connacht Champions    Galway (D1)
Munster Champions    Kerry (D1)
Ulster Runner-up      Fermanagh (D3)     Tyrone
Leinster Runner-up      Laois (D4)     Kildare

Group 2
Leinster Champions    Dublin (D1)
Ulster Champions    Donegal (D1)
Connacht Runner-up   Roscommon (D2)     Mayo
Munster Runner-up     Cork (D2)

But in all probability you won't get groups as balanced as above and one group will appear stronger that the other on paper.

I must have missed the Connacht Final
The disrespect.....
