Sam Maguire 2024 Group 2 - Dublin, Mayo, Roscommon, Cavan

[Armagh18]

Great game. Draw a fair result.

Referee did his best for Mayo to win. But Dublin had the extra gear.

Total joke that Dublin are not forced to play more game out of Croke Park.

Get Casement built and get them up the road

[From the Bunker]

Great game, unlucky to Mayo, but the Dubs looking human at least which is good for everyone.

There could be 4 savage strong quarter finals

You'd imagine Mayo, Galway and Tyrone will have enough for any of the third place teams at home.

And they wont have enough for 3 games in 3 weeks.

Yeah that is definitely something that needs looked at

[Hound]

Shows home court advantage does count for Dublin.

Have Mayo not got plenty of draws v Dublin, and even a couple of wins, in Croke Park?

Players love playing matches I remember someone saying a while back, and a weeks recovery is plenty

Three in 14 days a tough task for any team.

Do the Stats Hound! One win since 2013 in the championship. No wins in the League in Croke Park. It's not a Rivalry it's a Procession.

I don't understand this rationale.

Firstly these teams have no problem playing 3 weeks in a row. But a week off is preferable and therefore that meant there was something on the line today in these two matches. Which meant we got two really good matches. Galway and Mayo had every chance to get their week off, they were both ahead late on, but both fall a fraction short of pulling off the win, therefore, Armagh and Dubs deserve their week off

[Armagh18]

Just looking at the evidence of last year 3 of the teams that came through the prelims weren't competitive, and extra week would have helped abit I'm sure.

The way Armagh and Dublin celebrated they have a BIG problem playing 3 weeks in a row. Don't kid yourself.

[Hound]

No team will want to go to Mayo. Hope its Derry, put them out of their misery. Despite his detractors on social media huge credit to Aidan O'Shea he's give it all for his county for many years.

He gets plenty of slagging, but AOS does not lack heart or bottle. That free kick he took off ROD in the first half was brave given he doesn't have the greatest scoring record against Dublin in the championship and there was a wall of blue behind the goals hoping to have a big laugh, but he launched it right over the black spot.

Yeah, it's loaded to make it virtually impossible to win three weeks in a row.

[From the Bunker]

Well done to Dublin, they proved today they can win outside Croke Park.

That's why there was a chance to avoid that today by winning. Didn't win you get through but only get a week off.

[Brendan]

Well done to Dublin, they proved today they can win outside Croke Park.

That's strange, they proved they can win by drawing a game?
