Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Giving some teams 3 days notice of who they'll be playing!?
Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

What do you mean, there are no group games until after the provincial final?

Is there not a 2 week gap after provincials? Just remember a good bit of build up to the finals being taken over by talk of potential groups of death. Anyway there should be 2 or hopefully 3 cracking finals this year.

Armagh 10/1 to retain it. Decent odds.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

It'll take a damn good team to beat us, but not sure if we have enough to win the big one with the quality we're missing.

Those Armagh odds shows how open a championship would be most seasons if we can keep the Dublin juggernaut under control.

Still can't rule out Tyrone, Mayo or even Meath, even those daft bastards in Cork if they ever got focused. Those teams just need a few of the firmer favourites to wipe each other and out and they'll start to believe.

Tyrone could do it, you just never know with those huers. Mayo will never win it at this stage.

 Meath are definitely going the right way but lets see how they back up that performance before we start talking about them as contenders. Cork have a lot of the tools but I'd say they'd need a McGuinness type figure to come in.

Still think Tyrone will have a good year, semi final spot wouldn't surprise me

Meath semis would be a great year. It will take another couple of years before we get the ultimate prize

Meath and Louth be very interesting. I could be wrong but doubt it's a given Meath will win that. I don't think Louth are as good as other years but you wonder could they win Leinster - I have a sneaky feeling they might. If they did it might take Meath a bit to recover (and themselves).

We played Cork in Cork last game of the league last year and stole a draw.
They absolutely cut us apart several times and looked dangerous every time they attacked. Frightening pace everywhere but conceded a goal to Rory Grugan that an under 12 team would have been disappointed to concede.
On their day could beat anyone but also could lose to anyone.

Exactly been saying this for years.

Mcguinness type figure would have Cork dining at the top table if not winning all Irelands.

They've no end of raw talent.
