Quote from: Blowitupref on June 30, 2024, 08:19:48 PMBoyle Sports odds and I don't recall last four odds that close before.  Kerry's history,tradition and winning it in 2022 has them ahead of the rest but nothing between the final four in truth.

Kerry 4/5
Galway 9/2
Donegal 9/2
Armagh 9/2

Would give Galway more respect than this. They look better than Donegal and ARE better than Armagh.

Galway havent proven they are better than Armagh in the last 3 championship meetings as they failed to win any of them.

That said I think they are better than Donegal and I'd give them a good chance of beating Kerry or Armagh in the final as well. I think Croke Park suits them and if I was a betting man I'd be putting a few quid on Galway at those odds. Kerry must be living off their reputation because no way are they that much better than the rest.

Paddypower has it
Kerry evens
Galway 3/1
Donegal 4/1
Armagh 9/2

Wouldn't touch Kerry at this odds. I'd take all the 9/2 I could get for Galway. This is their year.

Is there more in Donegal? I think they are a big challenge for Galway.

Kerry better odds as they probably are perceived to have an easier semi final. It'll be different in last two.

Would love to see Armagh beat Kerry but just can't see it. Could see Donegal beating Galway - especially if they have a big injury list which is possible.

They didn't lose 3 times in this competition, they lost twice! The amount of times I've read this sh1te, it would make your eyes melt.
Lost in Ulster, out of Ulster. Into the group stages of Sam based on the league (different competition) . You finish third blah blah.... . By your same train of thought, was winning the Sam via the back door a mockery? Absolutely not as you're playing within the competitions structures

Hard lines to the players and management today, just wasn't our day. Was only going to be a kick of a ball in it. McKaigue played Clifford very well.

Will be interesting to see what / if there's any changes re management for next year

Derry poor and you'd say a fair bit of an AI title. Tho other teams don't seem too hot either so they will get their chance again

Brilliant! 🤣😅 have now lost 4 championship games this season.

Jesus, I'm delighted.  Always thought Tyrone lost once on their way to winning Sam in 05 and 08.  I am now content we went through unbeaten in those years as we were in a different competition

All the Derry ones here would fall out with their shadow. Took insult at the suggestion they are only a good team not a great team ffs.

Derry looked like they went out to stop kerry rather than to win.

Had some brilliant individual performances from Glass and Rogers in particular. Mcguigan in the first half too.
Mcevoy mostly did a job on O'Se and Chrissy did much better on Clifford this year than he did last year.

But, we were toothless.
Ball too slow to get forward, and not enough off the shoulder runs. Final 3rd passes went to kerry unforced. Then rash shots too.

Kerry were far from impressive and only pulled away a bit when we had to chase a 3pt lead.

Derry subs were made too late, and took off the wrong players.

Disappointed, but not that unexpected.
Championship to forget.
Harte....hasn't brought much.
We look like the team that had just come out of div 3 a few years ago.

What's worse? The 1st halfs of some of this weekends games, or Cora Stauntons monotone punditry..

Christ she'd put you to sleep. ZZZzzz

Never lost 4! Last time won it lost none : )

How many All Ireland senior club championships have Tyrone GAA won?

Any true Tyrone fan would support their northern neighbours over southerners. If anyone knows Irish history they would know that the kingdom of Tir Eoghain didn't have could relations with Munster. I bet you would even support Dublin (The Pale) over Derry.

Derry v Kerry. First half was even and second half even worse. Never as true!

First half was far more brutal.

Derry can't complain about being tired, the tempo of the game was similar to the Craggy Island Over 75s Priests 5 a side soccer competition

While the play was pedestrian both teams were up and down the pitch en masse I'd say the distances covered by both teams would be very high!
