All-Ireland Series Sam Maguire 2026

The three big calls all went Kerrys way. Penalty, square ball and a goal not given when over the line.

And the 3 big & wrong calls v Tyrone all went Kerry's way...show strange

At least one of them was by definition was the correct call

Don't think that would solve anything. In fact probably cause more rows. Of those three you've listed I don't think you'd get unanimous agreement on any of them other than maybe the square ball.

Think that's harsh...the Tyrone 45 was blatantly obvious when seen just once...the Kerry goal would clearly have been shown on replay...the Dublin goal was the only debatable one as no conclusive camera angle available. A goal line camera would be an easy solution.

As discussed, Kerry have got the absolute gifts from the gods against Tyrone and Dublin today.

Mayo will fancy their chances big time in the final going off that kerry display

I fear Mayo will  do what Mayo usually do in  AI finals

Lose?

Well, 8 losses from 8  in the last couple of decades isn't exactly encouraging from a Mayo point of view.

yes, this is  mostly a new Mayo team , and I really hope they do it , but  i dread them losing another.

Don't worry, what's the worst that I can happen? Everyone in Mayo knows what it's like to lose a final, so it should hold no fear at this stage.

When you take into account all of those relatively recent Mayo AI defeats, don't forget the replays. I count 12 failed attempts to win the final since the Meath final in 96.

It's not luck. Refs are groomed towards them hence the endless 50/50 decisions in their favour. Media gush over them.  Red or black card offences get ignored or at best glossed over by media as'he's not that sort of player'bullshit.

Yep.
When I tried to become a Ref I was told Rule no 1 is to favour Kerry at all times.
Better put these in for the Ulster boys🤪😜

04 and 06 they hadn't really a prayer, 2012 they'd a good enough team to do better, but that was a good Donegal team they ran into.

2013, 2016,2017 ran into an unbelievable team and put them to the pin of their collars but between bad luck, bad decisions and lack of a bench coming down the straight they conspired to lose them all. 2020 they were just second best by a million miles. 2021 was a total shite the bed after finally getting over Dublin they thought all they had to do was turn up against Tyrone. Only really getting round to forgiving them now for that one lol

I'd always be rooting for Mayo in finals until after that day, when I realised they could be playing themselves in a decider and would somehow still contrive to lose, so weren't worth the effort. They're going to win one eventually, though, and of course most of the country will be behind them in a fortnight's time.

Ah look I'll definitely be rooting for them in 2 weeks, would be some story, huge ask but they've a punchers chance and I doubt anyone would begrudge them finally getting the job done.

Impossible not to feel for the O'Sheas, Keegans, Morans etc after all those heart breaks against Dublin especially. Is Cillian O'Connor not back with the squad this year?
