Happy New Year one and all! Last year I rightly predicted:

Ones who'll fade: Louth, Sligo

Munster SHC: Tipperary

This year, with the same degree of caution, I will go with the following predictions:

Andy Merrigan Cup: Crossmaglen
Tommy Moore Cup: Na Piarsaigh

Anglo Celt Cup: Tyrone
Munster SFC: Cork
Nestor SFC: Mayo
Delaney SFC: Kildare
Sam Maguire: Dublin
Ones to watch: Galway, Tipperary
Ones who'll fade: Roscommon, Kerry* when I say Kerry will fade, I don't see them getting beyond the Q/Fs

Bob O'Keeffe Cup: Kilkenny
Munster SHC: Clare
Ulster SHC: Antrim
Liam McCarthy: Tipperary
Rackard Cup: Armagh
Ring Cup: Mayo
Lory Meagher Cup: Longford

Sorry, wut? :eek:

Muster SH: Tipperary
Leinster SH: Kilkenny
All-Ireland SH: Toughy but i'll say Kilkenny
Ones to watch: Dublin (for Leinster, can't see them going the whole way), Clare(again just for Munster, gave Tipp a hard time last year) and Limerick (again for Munster). I have a feeling we'll see the best Muster Championship in quite a few years.

Munster SF: Cork
Leinster SF: Kildare
Connaught SF:Galway
Ulster SF: Tyrone
All-Ireland SF: Cork
Ones to watch: Mayo
All Ireland: Cork

Tipp have some very good minor teams coming through, so they are due to pick up at senior level. Hard to see his logic in saying Roscommon will 'fade' while having an even better pedigree at underage recently than Tipp, and a better team to start from, but we're very used to been written off so it doesn't really bother us.

Tipp will have to do it year on year in the minor before we see anything at senior level. It definitely won't be next year that Tipp make an impact. It is a great push on for Tipp football that a north team(s) won the county, spreading the bible so to speak.

They've been doing it year-on-year at minor since the middle of the last decade, mate.

They've also been making plenty of noise in the league in recent years, so it's hardly a stretch to suggest they'll start to pick it up, especially in a province where both the big powers are making great cases for not being as good as they were next year. I don't think anyone expects them to win, but it's certainly not as foreign an idea as it was before their continued underage success.

Yeah pulling out the odd big win, nothing to the scale of last year. Looking back on last year I feel a bit of luck went a long way. Look at the first half of the Kerry match. It was all Kerry. Tipp were very poor. Kerry were just very naive and threw the game away imo, with the help of a few unbelievable scores, one from Philip Quirke which was the best point I have EVER seen.

Can see a lot of the traditionally "weaker" counties adopting a Donegal style approach which worked so well for them last season. This can't be good for the game

You forgot about Dublin:D. I think Kildare will be a major threat this year. They ran Dublin close last year and were unlucky against Donegal. I have a felling that this could be their year. Obviously been a Dub I hope otherwise:)
