All Ireland Championship 2025.

Well nothing is soft at this stage mayo underestimated Cavan and look what happened,listening to the draw as a Galwayman I was thrilled to get Down but after a bit of reflection I was thinking the mindset of the players may well have them thinking similar,where as a tougher draw would really get players focussed.i hope the experience of previous years will keep them motivated. There is always going to be a shock and this game is the most likely one for it to happen.

McGuinness is a moaney aul bollix

It's all mind games and siege mentality to get an extra edge with his own players - everybody's against us, even the ones making the fixtures.

It helps when the CCCC chairman aka Roscommon CB chairman is making silly comparisons about the distances the respective supporters had to travel!

But yeah, Jim is obviously just looking for an edge.

He had a point about the distance of supporters but giving out about not finding a hotel in town was a bit much, when they stayed in the nicest hotel in Roscommon (yes it's in Roscommon, despite the Westmeath address), which is only 25 minutes at most from Hyde Park. However, the other grounds were not easy options due to other counties involved over the weekend. The grounds people are amateur volunteers who you can't expect to be stewarting while their county is playing knockout football elsewhere.

Moore showed massive respect to Mayo by doing what he did.

The game wasn't over so he kept playing football right to the very end. Nothing more to it. The impact on/fate of Mayo as a result of him simply playing football isn't and should not be his concern.

Is the Hodson Bay nicer than Kilronan castle?

[Rossfan]

Probably more available plus of course no traffic issues that side.

Definitely a dangerous game for us up in Newry. Down are improving and have a lot of pace in their side. That said I watched their game against Monaghan and it's no exaggeration to say that Monaghan could easily have scored 6 or 7 goals had they been a small bit more clinical. Especially when Down tired there was gaping holes in their defence. They are well capable of putting up a big score though with the new rules.

Hopefully your nutritionist gives the Galway players a dose of the scour later this week.

You can take the woman out of Down, but you won't take Down out of the woman.

It's a nicer drive to the Hyde anyway! Those are very winding narrow roads up in Turlough O'Carolan country.

Sure given the whining on here today, nobody will be planning on watching them. No issues.

Is hardly whining to say will be one-sided.. is reality.
All is not lost... Tyrone minors in All Ireland semi-final this week and Tipp-Galway hurling quarter-final

Read that myself this morning about mcguinness.  Yeah, he's trying to work an angle.

Also armagh fans seem to have gone very quiet all of a sudden.  They had a nice wee path sorted to the semi finals until meath fecked it up and now they're realising they're probably going to be playing kerry.  While I expect armagh to beat a kerry team playing 3 weeks on the trot it's funny how the best laid plans can come s cropper

Yip. One poor performance and it's all over now, power rankings and bookies odds don't matter a shite.

[balladmaker]

I know statto, that's why I said probably.  Maybe down will beat galway and armagh will have them in the quarters

Don't mind who we get in Q/Final, either way you've to beat your competitors along the way just like last year ... so your point is actually what?

[Milltown Row2]

Strange year for teams to be beaten twice and still favourites

Realistically if we're going to win an All Ireland which is obviously the aim, we'd most likely need to beat Kerry at some point. Surely getting them in a quarter final playing 3 weeks on the bounce and with a few injuries is our best chance at beating them. (Assuming the prelims go to script)
