Donegal looked tired from early in 2nd half

Would love Galway to do it this year.
That's just, like your opinion man.

Not so sure. Think a woeful Armagh made them look better than they are. Time will tell. You could be right

Donegal finish up the year as McKenna Cup and League champions. Armagh finish up 2026 as Ulster champions.

Both have the trophies in the cabinet as we head into the winter.

Its their turn to be "Mayo to the Dubs" youd feel.

No one will touch Kerry bar some crazy scenarios like Tyrone scalping* them

*this might require machetes

And Roscommon,Westmeath won trophies.

Derry,Cavan,Kildare left to wonder are they coming or going the most. At least Meath got promoted and won a Division 2 trophy and sounds like management will be staying on.

Speaking of management
McGuinness? McGeeney?
McHugh to Donegal?
Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

Promotion was extremely important to Meath. Felt we could have won Leinster but a up for it westmeath ambushed us and if truth be told probably derailed our whole season afterwards.
But we have silverware. Next year obviously have to remain and to be credible in division 1. Then need to win Leinster and get to last 4 in all Ireland.
No all Ireland for Meath in 27. But 28. That's what Robbie and the team need to focus on

Don't see Geezer leaving.

Sincerely hope not anyway

Armagh18

Brilliant weekends football, strangely the blockbuster game of the weekend ended up being the least exciting. Who'd have thought at the start of the year neither Donegal or Armagh would be in quarter finals, madness. Would like to see Galway do it now but wouldn't begrudge any of the remaining teams winning it (even Tyrone)

DaleCooper

Who in Armagh or Donegal thinks they can do better than GeezerJim?

Ulster teams need to accept the new regime favours kicking and get to relentless coaching of techniqué.

Monaghan have so much threat from Beggan they are a nightmare if they run at you between midfield/45

Geezer won't leave yet. Jimmy might?

I think Galway would be the most universally popular winner at this point.

Apart from the bitter Mayo fans I don't think anyone would begrudge them an All Ireland.

Having said that Galway have an awful lot to prove but players getting back fit.

I'm not sure where all the belief in Galway is coming from. They have been bang average and haven't set the place alight. As others have said Kerry look to be coming good at the right time. Galway to me are at a level with the rest.
