All Ireland Championship 2025.

[Main Street]

I didn't know where the GAA hid the format, what are the other possibilities should the big 4 get through this round.

[David McKeown]

I'd worry about Armagh defensively particularly if MCCambridge injury was bad. That said I don't think Armagh have put two good half's back to back yet. If they do that they could be hard beaten.

Armagh are easily the best defence left in the championship. I can't think of one better than them.

I'm not sure I agree. McKay is a big miss as Will McCambrdige and Burns be if they aren't able to return. I'd play McCormack ahead of McGrane but that may be my club loyalty showing

[Rossfan]

Am I right?
Meath can't play Kerry, Cork or Louth
Tyrone can't play Donegal or Cavan
Monaghan can't play Louth or Down
Armagh can't play Donegal, Galway or Dublin.

Percentage liklihood for us.
46% Donegal, 24% Dublin, 23% Galway,5% Kerry, 2% Cork

Yes. You can't play a team from your group or a team you played in the provincial final unless it's unavoidable

Mc Cambridge will be fine

Think down could surprise a lot
Armagh / down quarter final would be some buzz

I thought McKay would have got minutes at the weekend.

Burns was hooked because of the card I thought rather than injury, read also that McCambridge was only precautionary and should be back. Agree on McCormack.

[Dunneroyal]

Doing my calculations if games go as expected Meath can draw either Dublin or Donegal can't draw Kerry, cork or Louth. And I right in that ?

[joemamas]

Almost certain that it's only provincial finals and group games that can't happen again in quarters. So Monaghan/Donegal and Meath/Dublin are possible

Yeah that's my understanding as well.

correct

[AustinPowers]

Last pre- QF would be  over around 6pm Sunday evening. Why cant  they do the draw straight away? On the  6:01 news, or the Sunday game or whatever? I mean , it's only 8 balls in a bag for  frig sake

It's a quick  turnaround, so the sooner it's done , the sooner people can  make plans

100% correct

Need time for the radiator to heat up.

Of course! Never thought  of that

Armagh can't play Donegal, Galway or Dublin.

Yes. You can't play a team from your group or a team you played in the provincial final unless it's unavoidable

if the fancied 4 go through, then
Armagh v Kerry
Tyrone will play one of Dublin or Galway
Meath v  Dublin/Galway or Donegal
Monaghan v last team standing
so its 50/50 that Monaghan meet either Donegal or one of Dublin/Galway.

It is very difficult to really judge Tally on the season. On paper, ok no victories but there were some signs that the team can still be dangerous. I dont see him being the man to win an Ulster or reach an All Ireland final. Tactically he is a level or two below the real elite managers.

In saying all that any team with McCluskey, McEvoy, McKinless, Glass, Rogers, McFaul, E.Doherty and McGuigan can be a threat to anyone on their day.

Is it worth persevering with Tally for another year? Well the real question should be- after the disastrous managerial hunt last year can we really do any better???
