Roscommon join Monaghan in the basement. They will probably

a) both feature in the all Ireland qf
b) both be promoted next year

the league now is just shadow boxing

and yet we are told that Armagh have the "best squad depth in the country at the minute"

Compared to Dublin?? Who the f**k said that?!

Dublin have half an All Ireland team to come back in FFS!

Quote from: seafoid on March 24, 2024, 03:07:07 PMThe Tyrone game is a massacre. The GAA have created a monster.

A successful Dublin teams pays the bills for headquarters and that's all that matters
Did you think that through?

Dublin's fans went to games regardless of whether they were successful. Every game under Pillar seemed to sell out, and we never even got to a final.
All Ireland Semis and final would sell out without the Dubs. A Leinster final without the Dubs would unquestionably sell more tickets than a final with the Dubs.

I'm not so sure on that; Down and Cork will fancy their chances of promotion next year aswell as both of those.

Looking at that Cork team yesterday they have the makings of a very good side; impressive midfield with plenty of scoring options an plenty of pace.

If only they can get their act together.

Football needs a strong Cork.

What don't you post under your Cavan name instead of using this fake Dub nonsense?
Every post having a go at either Monaghan or Armagh, and you feel the need to use this moniker when the whole board knows you are not a Dub. Weird.

It does but they might need another year.

STREET FIGHTER

Dublin to play their hardest game this year next week versus Derry ahead of strolling into the A.I series AGAIN....

They are that good they should be made to play in Ulster championship for the craic....Kerry too...gather a few battle scars....

Ahead of either of them lifting Sam...instead of the usual and boring walk in the park....

Cork perhaps but remains very inconsistent. Down just up from Div 3 it will be harder to gain promotion.

Dublin 11/10 -2 points for next week.

That's clean mental!

Unfortunately I don't bet against Derry but even on balance of previous games it's a serious value price it probably won't last long.

I happily took the Dubs -6 today though!

Armagh18

Tyrone got tanked against Kerry down there in 2021 in a league game. Would read nothing into that today.

Captain Obvious

Derry have a right good chance at winning the All Ireland this summer. Serious momentum from back to back Ulster titles and All Ireland semi final appearances and Glen winning the club top honour.  Were about 10% off last year and the appointment of Mickey Harte could prove a very good one.

Read nothing into it, that always the forming line when a team hammered.  Tyrone aren't near to the level of Dublin. I read plenty into it.

If it was in isolation then I'd agree with you but Tyrone are going nowhere this year and haven't been since they won the Covid AI title. You can't lose that many players and still remain competitive and they have done well to retain their division one status with practically a new team. They might come good in a few years time as they are still doing well at underage level but I expect that they will limp their way through the championship again and I'd be surprised if they make much of an impact.

Lets wait and see. I suspect that Dublin are still a bit ahead of them (and everybody else for that matter) particularly in the attacking department. Next week, despite it only being a League final, is a hugely significant game for Derry. If they can win that then it would be another big breakthrough for them and will give them the belief that they can compete to win Sam this year.
