McDonnell deserves to be given a chance, if his ideas are wrong, we will soon know

FOR CHRIST SAKE LETS PLAY BENNY O'ROURKE AS WELL

Oh shhh, the OR's are good players otherwise none of them would ever have got putting on a county jersey

Difficult to say... Try fiddling with the resolution of the screen from windows

AOR wasn't named as being part of the panel, would be nice to see him back though

Bizarre that when people say they think Dublin are second best I dont presume they are telling lies??

The only people saying that in the media are Dublin based papers and the like

They may well not win Sam, Kerry are better, I just think they have a good chance. Better than Armagh who are probably most peoples 3rd / 4th favourites for Ulster at this stage.

We will see at the business end of the season.  I think I will bookmark this thread just to say 'I told you so!'

The only bizarre thing is that you believe the Dublin are regarded by many as the best in the county bar Kerry 

Armagh lost to Donegal and Derry by a point on each occasion and they were not a full strength team.

Yes, I put Dublin as potential winners of Leinster.  They won't go anywhere after that.

You mark my words.

Where do I start?

Well, I think it's foolish of anyone to write Armagh off at this stage, yes I am biased obviously enough but with Clarkie back to fitness and Francie Bellew back to fitness as well, I think Ulster will see Armagh beating the team from the other side of the Blackwater and taking the Anglo-Celt home with them.

Also, Dublin are overrated every year both by their own supporters and the Dublin-based media.  Each time they meet a decent team in the championship they fold like a house of cards, I predict the same thing will happen again this year too.

Some people have asked if the current Kerry team are in the same vein of the Kerry teams of the 70's and 80's.  I think not considering they only just managed to beat Monaghan this year...

Football
Connacht - Galway
Leinster -  Dublin
Munster - Cork
Ulster - Armagh

All-Ireland - Kerry/Tyrone/Dublin/Armagh - i think it will be a lot closer than it was last year (barring injuries)

Hurling
Connacht - Galway
Leinster - Kilkenny
Munster - Cork
Ulster - Antrim

All-Ireland Kilkenny

Holy God, I have never read worse drivel in my life.
