Who will win the football all-Ireland ?
I think Kerry will.

domhn@ll

im afraid I have to go for Kerry, they've been there and won it soooo many time I really think you'd be stupid to bet against them. (although I reserve the right to eat my words shoud they loose to Cork)

Dublin.... cos they have probably the best midfield in the country at the minute....

cournioni

Armagh, cos they have a great midfield (as seen on Sunday), and possibly the best forwardline in the country... Clarke, Marsden, McDonald and McConville. I think they could beat Dublin quite easliy with those players playing.

Sposs

defo kerry boy!:D

full forward

Kerry would win if they had more players like Dara o Sé...

My heart says Dublin but I think it is a year too early for that. I would have to say Kerry, there forward line is unbelievable. Any team that starts with Johnny Crowley on the bench has a wealth of talent.

Seeing as Cork lost so miserably yesterday I'll have to go with the lesser of the 2 evils and say Dublin.

Well,
With Dublin out of the way, thanks Armagh !, Kerry are 99.99% certain of bringing home our old mate Sam Maguire, if the Dublin and Armagh teams were put together they couldn't beat the Mighty Kingdom, Also Armaghs Goal was a free out, the armagh player took about 8 steps before leaving the ball roll into the net. It is 3 or 4 steps isn't it ?

It's somthing like 5. He only took two steps before he was brought down by the Dublin defender (which would have been a penalty) and he just knocked the ball in with his foot before it crossed the line.

I honestly do think that this is Armagh's season. McDonald seems to be on form (great points today). Clarke is on song, McConville had a quiet game but he'll improve, Marsden didn't score but he was more or less a playmaker. McKeever was on great form. Toal will take out Darragh Ó'Sé in midfield in the final (see what happened the great Ciaran Whelan today, he was very quiet don't you think apart from the goal).

Dublin didnt play well at all.
Darren Homan was shite when he came on. As was Jason Sherlock.
I think Kerry will win it now, but if Dublin had of gone through today I would have backed them to win the final.
Must say Ray Cosgrave was awfully unlucky to hit the post with that last minute free kick.

Oh the Armagh player only took about 3 steps, but it looked like he just dropped the ball into the net.
It was never going to be a penalty, if anything it would have been a free out.

God i was sick as a parrot watching that
First dubs game i havent been to croker for this season. Mind you apart from the goal (jesus whelan took it so well.) there wasnt much to enjoy from thier performance.

Armagh will be luck to still be in the game 5 minutes after the throw in in the final. They are a poor side imo.

I dont think Cossie was unlucky, his free kick summed up the dubs performance, the shot was poor and there was noone waiting for a possible rebound even tho it was the last kick of the game. They didnt create as many chances as they normally would, passing wasnt wonderful and thier fielding was DIRE

(btw, it looked to me like the ball was dropped into the net for that armagh goal and not kicked.)

cournioni

Well it would look like he dropped it in from a Dublin man's point of view. I'd be the same if it was Cavan that was on the recieving end of it. But I'm talking from a neutral point of view. He just about got a touch on it with his foot when it was on the line.

Dublin have not had a freee kick taker all season and it wass bound to come and haunt them before the end of their campaign. All in all we did much better then I expected this year, If I had have been told we would soundly beat Meath, win the Leinster Championship, and only miss out on the All Ireland Final by a point at the start of the season I would have been happy with that. Sorry Pornapster but I think the Kingdom are going to win comfortably enough in the final, although I would like to see Armagh do. It is always nice to see the so called lesser counties do well.

Im kinda from Armagh (I lived there most my life). Id love to see them win. We do have a very good team and an excellent attitude.

However, I have to adnit kerry are PURE class this year and it very hard to imagine Armagh beating them.

Although Armagh have been writen off repeatedly and I personaly believe with a bit of luck it could be a very interesting game and Armagh would have to play out of their skin espcially the deffence.
At the end of the day it still comes down to 1 match men against men and anything can happen so here hoping.
