The 2021 All Ireland Senior Football Championship

[Deleted User]

It starts on Saturday.

Again it's straight knockout, hopefully this will be the last year of that and we can get back to something with a bit more intrigue next year.

Leinster and Munster look straightforward

That could have been said about Munster last year also but I seriously doubt Kerry will make the same mistakes and they did in 2020, there is no way they can.
And they have been playing the league like they cannot afford to put a foot wrong.

There is no use talking about the Leinster championship.

Ulster offers a bit of intrigue, Tyrone and Donegal could meet in a SF and Monaghan and Armagh could meet in the other,
Donegal really need to step up, for the last three years we were told that they were a team to watch and in all three occasions they could not make an All Ireland SF.
One would wonder how focused Tyrone were on their trip to Kerry a few weeks ago, with little really on offer.
Monaghan on there other hand had a lot of focus on the same weekend and staying in Div 1 will do them no harm at all.
Armagh are a potential dark horse.

Connacht is a two a two and a half horse race depending on Roscommon, they have caused shocks before in Connacht previously and I'd not be willing to right them off v a Galway teams that one really has to scratch ones head about.
Mayo have an easy run to the Connacht final but could become unstuck there without Cillian O' Connor
They struggled without him a few years ago.

Anyway it will end up with Dublin beating the Connacht champions without much fuss in the SF and Kerry beating the Ulster champs with a small bit more fuss in the other one.

Barring an early sending off like we had in the first game in 2019 Dublin will cruise to the title like they did in 2019 replay and 2020 finals, regardless of what people say about Kerry getting closer to them.

Don't remember commenting on Lane not performing during the Leinster semi final when the decisions went for Dublin ;)

Has Aidan O'Shea ever performed against Dublin? Absolutely awful.

Trampas

2 simple misses from o Shea.

people think he should be up full forward. Gets a nose bleed in front of goal

sligeach

Mayo are awful, and as usual Dublin cantering because their opponents are brutal. It's not that Dublin are anything special. Most of the other teams are muck and don't have all the advantages Dublin have.

Mayo are a total shambles.

Worst championship miss from a dead ball as long as I can remember

Eh, by that logic all their opponents are awful. Kerry won't be anywhere near Dublin either.

namloc1980

What a crap game this is. No idea what Mayo are trying to do and it's easy for Dublin at the moment who aren't even playing that well, but they don't have to.

The gulf between division 1 and 2 clearly evident

ACitizenErased

Mayo may as well be at home

FrancieBrady

Culd be a double figure win for Dublin here. Mayo way off the pace.

Wish someome would shove that bell up the arse of whoever has it.

This is embarrassing. Feel sorry for the Mayo fans who traveled up with some hope only to see this rubbish from their team.

Paddy small very under rated, class act

griffin100

This is going to be a hammering for Mayo. Looks like Dublin have 20 men on the pitch. As a neutral football at this level is becoming a hard watch.

A considerable portion of the Dublin fans are an embarrassment to an outstanding team.

Dublin are well out on their own. Mayo would be nowhere near so outclassed against anyone else in division 1

Swaine

Conor Lane loves the limelight doesn't he. Get on with the fcuking game, it's bad enough.

vetinari

Honestly some of those comments must be from Dub fans downplaying their team. Dublin are miles ahead of everyone.

lawred2

I'm seeing whole swathes of Mayo players offering nothing to the game but marking space. Dublin runners jogging right past them. What's the point!?

I've been saying this for weeks now.

The Dubs are as far ahead as they always were

Match is a joke

namloc1980

This is septic.

Poor stuff so far. This could turn into an awful game with Dublin just controlling.

Mayo just haven't brought anything so far.

What an embarrassing comment obviously not a real GAA supporter

Hammer Archer

It's effective but by jaysus it's boring to watch.
