If my calculations are correct, kerry have a 66% chance of getting a div2 team next weekend, meaning they'll have played every single cship match this year, without meeting a div1 side... on a plate for them.

Preliminary quarter-finals rundown:

The teams who go into Monday's draw for the preliminary quarter-finals:

Pot 2 (Home team)
Donegal, Kerry, Down, Dublin

Pot 3 (Away team)
Cavan, Cork, Louth, Galway

Aaron Boone

Who do Kerry prefer? That's the heated ball.

Champion The Wonder Horse

You'd hope for Down and Galway to meet. Then you could have four fairly epic quarter-finals.

What are you suggesting?  ;)

Cavan is the heated  ball. No  doubt they'll get them

There may only be 3 points in it, but for this game to be competitive Mayo would need to have went in a dozen points up

Wasn't the case at all.

Indeed, gallant as usual from Mayo, but the 1st half ultimately cost them

Mike Murphy must have his own rule book

Half the remaining teams are from Ulster

Wouldn't be Mayo if they didn't get carried out on their shield, still find it remarkable that some including a few on here that thought Donegal would win easily.

Probably a change of management for Mayo now.  Last three years - 2023 Well beaten in the All Ireland Quarter final,  2024 Prelim Quarter final exit and this year Group stage exit.

As for Donegal a lot of energy used up today could do with another week break but are out again next weekend at least they are at home and should beat Louth,Cork regardless.  Interesting Patton said afterwards that he was expecting the ball would be booted out of play after his last kick out and settle for a draw no doubt Mayo would have loved that to happen.

So Mayo, heartbreaking; how did they let Cavan beat them so easily? Don't think they were potential winners, but on their day could put it up to anybody

befair

Ref was excellent, really lets the play go

The All Ireland talk around Donegal is premature. I'll be shocked if they even make a final. They aren't playing the new rules to their fullest. Had also forgotten how Murphy plays refs like a fiddle. He does whatever he likes out there.

Patton took a big risk  rushing that last  kick out

If Mayo had won  the ball and scored, Donegal would  have finished third , and  away in the qualifiers to  maybe Dublin or Kerry

What was the thinking there?

Yes such statements about Div2 teams needs to be binned at this stage.
