Hopefully Kerry's luck will desert them and they'll end up with a brutal QF draw, they'll fall at the first big obstacle

Quote from: Captain Obvious on May 24, 2025, 10:01:15 PMShould Peter Harte have looked to work another score than boot the ball out of play on the hooter?  In the group stage you never know with scoring difference.

Definitely not.

Maybe if your 4 up but definitely not 3.

Even if they lose to Mayo next week they'll likely still top the group with Donegal 2nd on head to head and Cavan edging out Mayo on head to head in 3rd.



Getting a bit ahead of yourself aren't you

Nothing wrong with looking at every permutation.

Tonight's result was great for Cavan as we're unlikely to get another win.

Gives us a safety net if Mayo beat Tyrone.

We are in big bother if Mayo can muster a win v Donegal though.

Aye would be great to see them get a big dog.

There are 4 preliminary games, two of those will have Armagh/Dublin/Galway/Derry in them and Donegal will in one of the 4. If Donegal don't play Armagh/Dublin/Galway/Derry then these teams are likely to win their preliminaries and so Kerry is likely to play one of them, and this is pretty much inevitable if Cork won the other preliminary. Kerry might well trip up.

The beauty of being in one the tough groups is that Donegal have a 2/3 chance of getting a kind draw as does Cavan if they finish 3rd.

Could lead to some lobsided quarter finals if group 1 and group 4 are paired together though

Quote from: David McKeown on May 24, 2025, 09:13:58 PMAfter today's results Kerry are the only unbeaten team in the Championship (Armagh too if you only count 70 minutes.)

FFS - Linfield would be unbeaten if they played the teams Kerry played.

Do you think Kerry would win an USFC?

Quote from: tyroneman on May 24, 2025, 08:48:58 PM2 pointers a load of aul shite. The difference in a couple of inches having such an effect on a game. Would scrap them in the morning.

A difference of inches has always and will always have an effect on a game in every field sport ever created. Period.

Yes, a difference of inches between a goal and not a goal, or a square ball, a wide etc. etc.

I do think they should continue the arc though so you reward acute shots, have 4 point goals and stop the 2 pointer penalty infringements, make it a shot in front of the d or something.

Angus MacGyver

Tyrone, Galway, Kerry, Armagh, Donegal and Dublin all have realistic AI ambitions this year.
Mayo, Derry, Monaghan could trip one of them up on a given day.
Cavan Louth Roscommon a step further back but are no pushovers
Great few weeks of football in prospect.
Watch Tyrone though.

The Trap

The game in Ballybofey hinged a lot on 2 pointers. Don't like them either.

A very open All Ireland.

Be interesting to watch Dublin in Croke Park. If they beat Armagh they could be very dangerous.

Donegal look jaded and will need the missing players back.

Kerry played nobody yet so don't know where they are at.

Galway have to beat Derry next week to get back on track and you would really need to see Walsh and Comer hitting form.

Armagh with Rian back have a strong squad.

Tyrone beginning to look the part.....could wee see a big Armagh v Tyrone game in Croker?

Monaghan could make the semi finals.

Tyrone have form for winning after Armagh. After every sunny day comes a shower.

Looking like a great contest this which is good to see.

Dublin haven't gone anyway. They can be got at, outside croke park, but in croke park a different ball game. New team or not, they still a no of old hands pulling the strings. I see them as favourites, just beating away under the radar. Armagh game nxt week will tell alot.

Happy enough with Meaths win. Showed plenty of grit to pull off a win. Morris getting back to his best. Costello probably near the peak of his powers now. Need to get Gray and McBride into the team and start developing them. We'll need them in future.

Cork were poor enough and you could tell the long lay off didn't help. Played well for periods but no real threat about them. Unless Kerry gets their blood racing I don't see them doing anything.

Meath will need to build on yesterday's game, which will have put the Leinster final out of their heads. Roscommon in The Hyde will be a tough prospect but we have the scorers to do the damage. The good weather seems to be gone now so that might things a bit less predictable.
It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016

Good win for Meath yesterday. TBH in total control for majority of the match. I was getting worried that we'd do what we did in Leinster final and be the far better side at halftime and be hardly ahead. But we dug out the win. Morris is getting back to fitness and Costello is surely nailed on all star.
Hyde will offer a different challenge. But from what I've seen so far of Roscommon we should win. But need to put teams away when we on top. Cost use v Louth and could have cost us yesterday

27 minutes played it was 0-5 to 0-2 to Cork and the only scores for Meath was two frees.  Costello point from play and The Jordan Morris goal moments after gave you a platform to control the contest but did let Cork back to within one point with ten minutes to play.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose
