So we're out if we're beat tomorrow after that Donegal result? Maybe that will sharpen the minds. In saying that if we can't beat Clare at home we'll be deservedly out on our holes.

Ulster while been competitive is not the B all and end all. Even Leinster would be hugely competitive with Westmeath Kildare louth Meath probably winning it over last decade if not for Dublin dominating. Munster same with tipp (who did win one) clare cork and maybe even limerick if no Kerry. Ulster is competitive no doubt. But Dublin would have at least 10 of the last 12 ulster titles and Kerry maybe 8.

A mighty take. Whatever about the rest which is left field, Kerry winning a hypothetical 8 is a load of, well, balls

Why do Kerry always get grouped with Dublin. They are very much in the pack behind Dublin with the top Ulster and Connacht teams. They were embarrassed in their last visit to Croke park

ah now, that's like saying the SPL would be competitive if the Glasgow teams weren't in it. But they are, and Dublin are. It's almost like saying the other teams are all as shit as each other.
 Dublin and Kerry are A+ grade teams. Ulster has 4 A-B grade teams who tear strips off each other. I would like to see how Dublin and Kerry would get on having to be at your best for 2-3 games in a time of the season where they are usually on the beach.

[Ulster overrated a tad]

Big result for Cork there today. Joke it wasn't available on TV anywhere.

Cork turned Donegal over repeatedly - basically did a Donegal on them. Finished 3 goals and missed 2/3 more chances. Donegal made a valiant effort to get level but Cork just about held out.

Blows group wide open now. Cork v Tyrone is a big one.

Ulster overrated a tad or Donegal just a bit jaded/complacent??

More competitive then overrated I'd say. 3 teams at could potentially reach a semi, 4 if Tyrone (hopefully don't) get themselves sorted. Tbh I'd be very surprised if Donegal get out of the quarters.

Leinster has 1, Munster maybe 2 and Connacht 2 that could reach the last 4

Who is overrating Ulster?

Has anyone said any Ulster team is better than Dublin or even Kerry. Derry were/are fancied to be competitive, as are Donegal and Armagh, but is anyone putting them down as ahead of Kerry and Dublin?

It is a simple fact though that Ulster is very hard to win because there are a bunch of teams at a similar level and playing in the Sam Maguire series.

Maybe the Dubs would have won a bunch of Ulsters, but to do so, they'd have to be at full pelt each season a lot earlier than they have had to be in Leinster.

One change on both side.

Mayo Pàdraig O'Hora for Tommy Conroy

Roscommon Conor Hand making his debut for Dylan Ruane.

Looks like a smaller size crowd that attended the Connacht game between the two in April which was 14k. Provincial matches a bigger draw than these All-Ireland group matches?

Half time Roscommon 0-8 Mayo 0-8

Results

Longford 1-16 Waterford 4-12
Limerick 2-14 London 0-10

Waterford must have been a good price

Was always a tough fixture going down there and facing a very talented and fresh Cork team.
