All Ireland Championship 2025.

[Smokin Joe]

The inconsistency in the repeat pairings between rounds is strange.
Donegal have Monaghan in the QF, but they couldn't draw them in the SF as they met in the provincial championship.  Just provincial finals are ruled out in the QF, but all previous meetings ruled out in the SF.
Strange.  Wonder is there logic for that?

[Dunneroyal]

Can't call three of those games. Galway will beat Meath even with their injuries.

haha. Always trust a flour bag to moan. Enjoy the tc final. Although limerick likely winners

[Gael80]

Pretty much nailed on it'll be:

Saturday

Galway v Meath
Dublin v Tyrone

Sunday

Donegal v monaghan
Armagh v Kerry

Jimmy whinging matches will get his way, the 6 day turnaround should have to be sucked up and accepted for finishing 2nd or 3rd in the group.

I think Galway and Donegal will get the 7 days. Kerry have previously played on a Saturday but not the second game of a double header.

My guess

Saturday:

Armagh v Kerry
Tyrone v Dublin

Sunday:

Monaghan v Donegal
Meath v Galway

I believe GAAGO/RTE agreed changes in the past so it's possible they'll both agree to show one game a day.

Both days would be close to 70 thousand with those games. Meath will have a bigger crowd than Dublin next weekend.

the year Galway beat us on pens Kerry were the second game, I have a feeling that was a Saturday

[gallsman]

The relentless whining on this thread about McGuinness, Murphy, Dublin Joe (and Dublin Sean apparently this weekend too) etc is embarrassing. Allegedly grown men FFS.

70,000 people?

Not a chance in hell.

so it was. Be interesting to see what happens. When will we find out

Agreed on Murphy and McGuinness but the Dublin Joe stuff is just a bit of craic.

Leaving the whinging out it this is easy to sort out. Play the Dublin and Kerry games on Saturday and the other 2 on the Sunday. Galway and Donegal should both get 7 days or neither should get it. I doubt that any combination of 2 matches will sell out anyway so the crowd argument doesn't come into it

Some interesting games there. Monaghan Donegal for me looks the one that wouldn't be as interesting. I can't see Monaghan winning that one at all.

Galway v Meath and Tyrone v Dublin are actually more appealing to me than the Armagh Kerry. We kind of have no idea how good any of these 4 are. Dublin and Galway are *probably* very good but not as good as they were and Tyrone and Meath well we are not really sure on. Meath will be decent but maybe not that level and Tyrone have been brilliant and awful so who knows where they are.

Armagh Kerry I think Kerry will win but it should be a tight one.

Nope, there are twats on here who fully believe it.

I dunno, Donegal have struggled to hit top gear for a while and yesterday they were up against a Louth team whose race was run a month a ago. Monaghan also tanked them. That said, even accounting for the opposition, yesterday was the best Gallen has looked all year. If he's on some alongside Murphy, O'Baoil, Thompson etc I can't see any back line living with them. 2 or 3 points max in it I think and Monaghan definitely have a chance.

Calling it now
Armagh, Donegal

Dublin Galway
Will be the semi finals

[RedHand88]

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.
 

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.

Fairly ironic given that your last all Ireland came about after throwing the toys out of the pram and strong-arming the GAA into an extra weeks rest

Were Kerry not resting that week also?

Also i don't think Tyrone asked for anything? They couldn't fulfil the fixture on the original date as they only had half a panel with the restrictions. They forfeited and it was the GAA/Kerry that offered to move the date, not Tyrone.

This nonsense needs to be called out.
