Is the tyrone sfc run off every other weekend. I thought it was back to back weekends for some reason.

I find the 3 nominated candidates to date underwhelming, if Maria Steen is afforded the opportunity to run I would certainly vote for her.

As someone said tge only one not on the list is Walter Mitty!

Im suprised Maria Steen wasn't on the list.

I have Boyle backed at 10/1. I saw earlier in the year that Eamon O'Hara was managing them and he had a good record managing clubs in Leitrim and Sligo.

They have lost 2 of the last 3 Roscommon sfc finals and with players like Enda Smith, Donie Smith, Cian McKeown and the 2 Creggs, I thought 10/1 was good value. Into 13/5 now.

Odran Murdock absolutely lording it in the Chicago championship, MOTM in the final as Pearce's beat Wolfe Tones who I think where going for 3 in a row and he ran all over Brian Fenton in the semi final! The man is an absolute generational talent.

I would not put him ahead of Martin Clarke yet. I am looking forward to seeing how he can lead Burren in the championship,as they have an amazing side on paper.

I forgot about Clarke. Great player too.

He had a fantastic year with Down, particularly in the championship. Hes definitely the most exciting player we have produced since Benny Coulter.

Ger Brennan achieved everything Louth Gaa could have asked off him. He has left to the county he played for and captained, I'd doubt there are many in Louth who wouldn't wish him well.

The circumstances are in stark contrast to Harte's departure.

With inter county over said i'd start a thread on the club championships and take a stab at predicting the winners in each county.

Antrim - Cargin
Armagh - Crossmaglen
Cavan - Crosserlough
Derry - Glen
Down - Kilcoo
Donegal – St Eunans
Fermanagh - Enniskillen
Monaghan - Scotstown
Tyrone – Errigal Ciaran

Mayo - Breaffy
Galway - Salthill
Leitrim - Fenagh
Sligo – St Molaise
Roscommon – St Brigids

Kerry – East Kerry & Dr Crokes
Cork – Castlehaven
Clare – Eir Og Ennis
Limerick – Adare
Tipperary - Clonmel

Dublin – Kilmacud
Laois – Portlaoise
Kildare  - Naas
Longford – Clonguish
Louth – Ardee
Meath -  Dunshaughlin
Westmeath – The Downs
Wexford – Castletown
Wicklow – Rathnew
Carlow – Paltine
Offaly - Tullamore

Can't see a back to back in Tyrone. People think every year that it's going to happen but I'm just not sure. Could easily be caught out in the first round Errigal. Think Trillick had the best chance the year they lost to Dungannon on pens

Did Errigal not do back to back last year?

They did, I've Trillick backed this year.

Rumours of Shane Walsh transferring to Salthill/Knocknacarragh. They were 4/1 on Sunday to win Galway sfc, now they are in to 2/1.

I thought Michael Burns contribution was somewhat overlooked, after being introduced in the 2nd half v Armagh. He was overshadowed by Sean O'Sheas performance and the return of Paudie Clifford but I felt he really laid down a marker when he was brought on.

He did

Any loyal fan will be there on Friday regardless

I couldn't imagine Peadar Toibin nominating McGregor. I've a few quid on Nick Delahunty at 25/1. He might have trouble getting nominating but if he does he could prove a good protest vote at the establishment parties.

I still think there is bad blood between some members of Louth Gaa towards Crossmaglen Rangers, after the character references in the Garda Donohoe case. I vaguely remember Peter Fitzpatrick being quite vocal.

No, Down didn't go deep enough in the competition to get an all star, he could possibly get a nomination.
Without a doubt he is our best prospect since since Benny Coulter, totally different type of player, but both have that x factor where there is a buzz in the crowd when they get possession. He's had a fantastic year.
