Kerry v Armagh probably be Killarney on Saturday night, what you reckon?  would leave it a 6 day turnaround after yesterday's disaster. 

A room in Killarney on Saturday night going for E600+ ... like WTF lol

What is capacity of Killarney and the likelihood of getting a ticket?. Will they be on public sale?. Or clubs

No lights in Killarney so they can't play it too late on Saturday with the possibility of extra time/pens. A lot will depend on TV, RTE will be pushing for this one and they've Tailteann Cup and hurling on Saturday so if it's on RTE it's likely to be 1.30 on Sunday as Cork-Offaly is on at 3.30.

If Kerry get knocked out at the weekend Tyrone could win this All-Ireland.

Was more or less sold out for the Munster final and that was just short of 32k, they might be able to squeeze a few more in so probably about 33k.

No, they may put it earlier as Donegal v Cork was. It would only be fair to give people a chance to travel, accommodation is very difficult to get now. They also need to get going on special trains.

Twice the space in Killarney as in Armagh, tickets will be easy enough to get if you can to Killarney and back.

3 o'clock Saturday? Would be better to get it the Sunday from a recovery perspective, 6 day turnaround is a big ask especially with travel, Kerry have an extra day combined with having had a walk in the park compared to our hard hitting game.

You know it's on around the date of the Summer Solstice where it's bright 'til after 10:30!
As long as they're not thinking of a 9pm throw-in, I'm sure they'll be OK 🙄

Monaghan set for their 5th home game in the championship this year

Quote from: Schkite on June 15, 2026, 08:43:39 AMMonaghan v Westmeath
Dublin v Donegal
Mayo v Meath
Kerry v Armagh

Teams named 1st are at home

The Rafferty error will spell the end of the championship for Armagh or Kerry before the All-Ireland quarter-final that's a massive boost to the rest.

Cocky Monaghan heads will be even more cocky after that draw however Westmeath under McHugh will give a good fighting display than Roscommon who looked like a team that didn't want to be there.

Mayo v Meath will bring back memories of 1996. At home it's a game Mayo should be winning, Mayo as seen yesterday and indeed in all those past All-Ireland finals find ways to lose.

Dublin v Donegal I don't what to expect from Donegal anymore, most inconsistent year under McGuinness. Dublin only got this far by drawing Cavan. After losing to Louth,Westmeath in Croke Park I could understand why Brennan wouldn't want it played there.

As every pairing has a team that played Saturday and a team that played Sunday, fairest would be to put the teams with the shortest travel on the Saturday i.e. Monaghan-Westmeath and Mayo-Meath.
