All Ireland Championship 2025.

[armaghniac]

Cavan Donegal is game of the weekend in many ways. Cavan know how to beat Donegal and with a home game, a win under their belt, and 'blood in the water' from a Donegal perspective, there's a big chance of an upset. If Mayo beat Tyrone on Saturday night it will tighten things further.

How does Cavan know how to beat Donegal? When did they last beat them? Whatever you say about Jimmy he was improved Donegal from their previous condition.

Weekends predictions

Tyrone v Mayo - I expect a major backlash from Mayo here whether it will be enough is another question. I'll take a punt and say Mayo by 1.

Cavan - Donegal - Donegal will be back with a backlash here. Donegal by 9.


Cork v Kerry - Kerry will right the wrongs of the Munster clash. Kerry by 7.

Roscommon v Meath - Big chance for Meath to show that they have progressed this year against and underperforming Roscommon. Expect the Rossies to bounce back and Meath to show their flakiness once again. Roscommon by 5

Louth v Down - Local Derby here. Expect Down to keep their good form going here, unless Louth can clog them up. Down by 2

Monaghan v Clare - Monaghan by 15


Derry v Galway - Expect Galway to bounce back here. Galway by 7

Dublin v Armagh - Haven't a clue how this game will go. Either team could get a run on the other. If Armagh can keep it tight then the strength of their bench might be enough. Armagh by 3.

Louth can probably afford to lose against Down and still qualify, so you'd wonder where they will be at, but Down themselves will be holding something in reserve for a big push against Monaghan. That game is less crucial than it first appears as a result

How do you figure Down will be holding themselves against Louth? I'd have thought it would be a case of going full tilt against Louth and then see how the land lies after that...

Genuinely not winding on this one. Cavan were a width of a post from promotion and are gaining momentum, Donegal look leggy it has to be said. The prize is huge for Cavan and KBP will be buzzing. Nothing easy for Tir Conaill this weekend

[Cunny Funt]

better team v Louth in Leinster final.

Meath weren't the better team in scoring, in shots on goal and one of the main stats nowadays that sets a platform to win with these new rules which was kick outs won.  Turnovers was the same I believe.  Meath goal against the run of play 2nd half was your first for 15 minutes and last of that final.

It's three wins in a row Louth have got against Meath fair to say they are the better team of the two.

. Meath flakey ? Most improved and perhaps most consistent team of the year. Every game barring Monaghan game could have won. And handed Roscommon their behind on a plate in league.

Showed their flakiness in their 2 most important games of the year when there was silverware on the line.

Both against Louth.

If they win this weekend I'll retract that statement but they have to prove it.

better team v Louth in Leinster final. And have little doubt of a victory on sat  be surprised if it's not plus 7

The fact Meath were the better team does that not further backup the fact that they were flaky when they seen the finish line?

Hope they beat Roscommon aswell but they have to prove that theyve made real progress this year instead of it being a flash in the pan.

Think the end v Louth was more to do with inexperience and bad calls from line. Menton should have been taken off as he was gassed , Curtis should have remained on and probably bring in mcentee to add a bit of aggression. So more to do with that then flaky. That been said I do agree that a win on Saturday will prove beyond doubt we most improved team this year

not on the day. Meath should have been out of sight. Also you ignore the fact that louths 3rd goal was totally against the run of play . The penalty (seen them not be given) and a fluke 2nd goal. Add to the 2 point free that should not have been given I'd say it's pretty obvious that Meath were the better team on the day. No doubt the previous two meetings have been Louth but not the Leinster final.
Also I'd wager Meath will still be playing football while Louth are out. But we will see

Meath glasses on that view point of the game.  Louth 3rd goal was against the run of play but it was Meath's only and best sustained period of play in the game which in 7 minutes and went from 3 behind to 4 in front.   Best team on the day won the Leinster final you need to move on from it and something Meath can do if still be playing football this summer while Louth are out though the draw will likely decide the faith of both.
