All Ireland Championship 2025.

Meath are back?!

What have they  actually done? Couldn't beat Louth. Beat an average enough Kerry team  who had  five or six  injuries, who  were through anyway. They only drew with Roscommon and beat  Cork. Everybody beats Cork.  Well, except Roscommon , who Meath couldn't beat.

No doubt  a tired, out of  sorts Donegal will  draw Meath. Beat them with  a flukey goal , with Murphy decapitating someone and  still not getting a yellow.

Something tells me  it will be a Galway Donegal final. Two teams that  should have been out long ago.

Seems to be quite a campaign you're all mounting against Murphy the past few weeks, on this and other online locations.

I don't think  there's a campaign against Murphy. More a campaign against referees who  haven't punished his actions appropriately

He's hardly the only player who has gotten away with questionable "tackles" because referees get a single, real-time, on-field look at a split second sequence of play.

Plus he's been sent off a few times for very marginal offenses. That's the way it goes.

But yeah, I get it. Opposition fans make enough noise and maybe the next time the ref will pressured to pull out the red card even if he hasn't seen enough to justify it.

FFS even today people are making a big deal out of him getting a routine yellow for a high tackle that you see every game and for which he himself has received yellows many times. Although many of the same people will be the ones screaming cheater at Ryan McHugh when he goes down after being on the receiving end of a similar tackle.

Was the supposed  punch v Cavan  a questionable tackle?  I didn't see it , but  I've heard he should have  walked for it. Same  for the "tackle" against  Derry.

Lot of talk about Kerry-Armagh game being next Saturday.
Surely the four teams that played this weekend should all get a 7 day turnaround?
I have a feeling we might get the short straw of the 6 day turnaround.
McGuinness' rant last week may end up bearing fruit next weekend after all.

The Cavan game wasn't televised. First I've heard of a closed fist tackle, but he was supposedly on the receiving end of plenty of "close attention" v Cavan too. Derry one could easily have been red, yes.

I've heard the opposite. Dubs Saturday evening and Kerry v Armagh 4pm Sunday is what my sources tell me is likely.

Dublin v Tyrone is probably too big to put with Kerry v Armagh for example is probably what they're thinking.

Was it you on here last weekend pretending he should have been sent off for something against Mayo?

That's why he  did it. Knowing it would  pay off for him somewhere  down the line

There were a few people pointing out stuff . He did get away  with a number of  things though.

I asked this last weekend too and got no reply, what was it he got away with?

The full match is on RTÉ Player so it's an easy one to figure out. A timestamp of when these incidents occurred are probably your best bet.

I think it's silly teams not being able to meet again in knock out games.

Who cares if two teams meet again?

Makes a f"^k up of the draw.

It's a load of balls. Let's say Monaghan draw Dublin first tomorrow, the rest of the games are then set, as no different matchups can be made (it'd be Armagh/Kerry, Tyrone/Galway and Meath/Donegal)

Considering the draw restrictions I'd´ve thought that Monaghan would be left out of the draw and just get paired with the last team left standing, either Donegal or one of Galway/Dublin. Hopefully anybody but Donegal,

From what I recall of past draws they haven't done it that way.

[GalwayBayBoy]

Have a feeling we're going to be landed with a fecking 6 day break. Jimmy's whinging will probably mean the squeaky wheel will get the oil and they'll get Sunday.

Being fair the two teams that played Saturday should play next Saturday and the same for Sunday. Guaranteed they won't do that though.

Be some mess if they dug in and refused to play Saturday.

Pretty sure I  posted some of these at the time. Anyway , he came in  on the mayo kickers blind side , taking him out. No free.  Laid ball off, blocking the  mayo player. Twice. Although I did see one of these from a different angle , and  it wasn't as clear cut. Couple of dubious tackles, one of them like a lion   trying to  grab a zebra.   A couple more  I just can't recall right now . He obviously  was involved in something at the final whistle too. 

This is not a vendetta against Murphy btw.  The man is a great player and I've  loved  watching him in action down the years.  He has played on the edge in that time but this year ,  he's ramped it up . But as I said , it s the referees that need to  get a grip on him, or any  player , overstepping the line

Good job he isn't carrying out the draw as it would take all day.

Armagh vs Kerry is already guaranteed. They will then put Galway and Dublin in the bowl to pick to play Tyrone. The remaining team will then join Donegal in 1 bowl with Meath and Monaghan in the other then draw the remaining two games.

That would result in a Armagh vs Kerry and Dublin vs Tyrone/meath/monaghan double header on the Saturday. Who cares about the traffic caused with 2 northern counties who have to travel the same route or the amount of people that will miss out on tickets having the 2 biggest supported teams being involved as long as Galway get an extra day to rest.
