All Ireland Championship 2025.

[Schkite]

In previous years the preliminary quarter final teams all lost their qf . This year is somehow different because the preliminary teams are overall better than the waiting teams(Armagh are the exception). I would be surprised if the 4 waiting teams all won their quarter finals.

Not true. Last year Galway made it to the final after being in a prelim quarter final. And in 2023 Monaghan made to to semis after being in prelim quarter final. So yes it is rare and shows the benefit of the weeks rest, but it has happened.

Can't call three of those games. Galway will beat Meath even with their injuries.

Three Ulster teams should reach the last four and lucky Galway will find a way to fall over the line.

Galway will have way too much quality for Meath imo.

And if a gun was put to my head I'd call Armagh, Tyrone and Donegal without any great confidence.

Same was said about Galway last year before playing Westmeath,Sligo and Mayo,Derry,Down this year and just stumbled past them.  Meath supporters will be on here next week with their what ifs.

Only happened last year with his own county, Seafoid with short term memory loss?

I think Meath will be happy they drew us rather than Donegal or Dublin to be honest.
On all known form, we are well behind both of them.
We've been completely up and down within games all year & scraping results by the skin of our teeth.
It's admirable to be able to do that in many respects but you only get away with it for so long.

Love being writ off already and the draw only made. You'd swear Donegal put 30 on us in Ulster ffs

Who is writing you off?

50/50 game to me, especially with you having an extra week rest.

Will be a cracker. That one could very easily have went to extra time as well. Totally 50/50 I think.

[David McKeown]

Has he complained yet about the draw.

This week will see the following teams playing. In brackets is what number of matches against a Division 1 team in the championship they will have played by the end of the match.

Kerry (1) v Armagh (6)
Donegal (4) v Monaghan (2)
Galway (4) v Meath (3)
Dublin (5) v Tyrone (4)

I'm surprised he hasn't moaned about that yet.

I think Tyrone will win comfortably with Kerry Meath and Donegal edging the other games.

Armagh don't have anyone to mark clifford.
McKay out
McCambridge out

McKay hasnt seen grass yet this year, and got knock weekend just passed.
McCambridge went off limping badly v Galway.
#3 is a simple fact

[Baile Brigín 2]

Apparently Louth, who for reasons I can't fathom, were staying in Enniskillen, got lost on their way to Ballybofey and ended up in Sligo.

Arrived 45 mins before kickoff and were not given a delayed kickoff.

Not a hotel to be had in Donegal with the rally on apparently.

[Real Talk]

Pretty much nailed on it'll be:

Saturday

Galway v Meath
Dublin v Tyrone

Sunday

Donegal v monaghan
Armagh v Kerry

Jimmy whinging matches will get his way, the 6 day turnaround should have to be sucked up and accepted for finishing 2nd or 3rd in the group.

Jimmy McGirnness

I hear McGuinness was complaining yesterday about unrealistic demands and the number of injuries to players across the country? It begs the question, did he not know the championship structure when he brought a 35 year old Murphy out of retirement and then play a game where nearly every play goes through him?

Are these genuine complaints or is it all about deflecting any chat or pressure from his squad? Whatever about it, it's all becoming a bit tiresome!

Yes you're correct 100% deflection plus always being in the NEWS
