    Ulster :: Draw
    Munster :: teh Kingdom.
    Connaught: Tribesmen.

    but sweet fuck was it a dire weekend of football. You'd berate young lads for missing scores that were missed in the three finals this past weekend.

    Mayo deserved to loose.
    Galway wont go further unless they learn how to fucking score either.

    Peter the 'great' :: 3 missed chances inside the 21 in the opening 5 mins?
    please. I'd score them myself.

    Didn't see loads of the munster game.

    imo, 3 so_so games of football. Can low_scoring mean exciting? Connaught was a horrible game to watch so no.

    tyrone should have kicked Armagh out_of_sight.

    anyway, post weekend analysis here.

    thought?

    btw, pld to the winners tho.

    Up Laois [senior && minor] on Sunday]

    Must agree that the quality of the weekend games wasnt great. The Connacht game was very poor. There were about three occasions in the last 5mins when a Mayo player kicked lost the ball needlessly when they were only a point down. They didnt seem to know what to do with the ball, and this from a team that reached last years All-Ireland final. :confused:

    The first half of the Ulster game was very poor. Tyrone were the only team in it and should've been a lot more ahead. Surprised to see Canavan miss those chances. He was scoring them for fun the week before... THe only tactic Armagh had in the first half was long, high balls into the full-forward line which the likes of Chris Lawn & Ryan McMenamin cut out easily. They changed a bit in the 2nd half and the game improved as a result. They hit the balls to the wings instead of straight down the middle. Tyrone still should've beat them though, great performance from O'Neill left Bellew for dead every time.

    The Munster game seemed to be the best of the lot. Surprised to see Cork play so well, they are a very hard team to predict.... Kerry just a bit extra class and experience in the end.

    Dont think any of the games produced any outstanding candidates to go on and lift Sam. Just have to wait and see if the Leinster final will be any different.

    The Connacht final was woeful alright. Hard to believe that Mayo made the All-Ireland final last year. From the look of that game, they'll have it hard to win in the qualifiers and Galway will have it hard to go past the quarter finals.

    Didn't see the Munster game at all because I was watching the Ulster match. There were some pretty bad wides in it alright but at least if had a bit of intensity and urgency to it, even if it wasn't half as much as was expected.

    Peter the great was terrible alright. I sat there thinking if only the fu*ker had played like that against Cavan in the replay.

    I'll miss the Leinster final this Sunday (due to my trip to Clones to see Cavan win :)) but hopefully it and the Ulster replay will offer something a bit better.
