All Ireland Championship 2025.

Any update on the Armagh/Donegal investigation? Would be strange to think no action taken after a player getting punched by 3-4 opposition players.

You would have thought it would have been completed by now given both teams are playing this weekend.

Brolly has it sorted.

On a side note, what would such fine money be used for?  HQ staff payments? A new bike rack somewhere, or maybe a months wages for Dublin GAA development officers?

Was a meeting last night apparently. If anything comes of it it'll be thrown out on appeal you'd imagine unless there is better footage somewhere.

The guts of 90% will filter it's way back to the clubs

As far as this year is concerned..
Donegal, Kerry, Armagh with Dublin, Tyrone, Galway.
Rest of us making up the numbers!

Those 6 have won 24 of the 25 AIs this Century.
New winner badly needed.

[tiempo]

Armagh were every bit the new winner in 2024 as 2002

Tyrone and Donegal had messianic managers who broke the mould, Donegal with less to show for it

Galway had one of the great teams before stinking the next 20 years out

Kerry are the standard bearers and will always be there or thereabouts

Dublin had the most financially doped team/era in GAA history and skewed the landscape, Mayo and others were the victims

Teams like Kildare Derry Down Cork Meath have blown more cold than hot the last 25 years

Don't think there's a snowballs chance of anyone not listed wining Sam in the next 25 years

Unlikely you'll ever  get a new winner given the championship  format

Since  Louth won in 1957, only  5 other counties (other than  those 6) have won the All Ireland .

That's 11 winners in  nearly 70 years. Only 3  others have  reached a final (Mayo, Roscommon, Kildare)

Don't write off Louth, population is growing and serious work being done there at underage. Agree with your broader point though.

If there's a team I'd love to see lift Sam its Louth

Can moan about Dublin's finance and doping if you like however one can't ignore the big pool of generational talent that came through at the same period of time. As for Mayo the victims?  they had the winning of a few All Ireland finals against Dublin and found ways to lose themselves. They also lost to Donegal and Tyrone in finals after taking Dublin out in the semi final.

As for the now.   Four different All Ireland winners the last four years we have now entered an era where All Ireland titles should be shared among a number of counties for the rest of this decade.

[Rossfan]

Same ones rotating.....

[tiempo]

Woe betide, do suhing about it naw

At least Louth showing the balls to get organised, much like Monaghan, nothing stopping anyone elevating themselves

[Blowitupref]

Same ones rotating.....

Armagh the current champions was their second ever title and the gap between the titles was 22 years plus last year they reached their first All Ireland semi final for 20 years if that doesn't give hope to the chasing pack nothing will.

Yeah that Mayo team could have been irrelevant if it wasn't for the Dubs. Dublin brought the best out of them.

God knows who else they may have to lost in a 2013, 2016, 2017, and 2020 if the Dubs didn't exist.

If they were going to win one it was going to be against that great Dublin team.
