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.

If you needed a reminder why the dubs are the most hated team in the country there is your answer

I love it when the normally fence-sitting pundits get it so wrong in the half-time analysis 😁 Colm O'Rourke - "It's all over" 😂

Dive by O’Connor

Conor Lane has let too much go

ClanofLams

Chaos..... bit of a laugh anyway.

Dublin only themselves to blow, six up they should be aiming to go ten up not hold a lead, more than good enough to do it.

Do you still think its shoulder to shoulder yeah?

Dublin were a disgrace there, playing about with the ball, if they at least booted it 45metres, it was game over. Only themselves to blame.

Another dive. Mayo lads soft.

I actually wouldn't begrudge Mayo winning this. Serious second half from them.

Dublin have been rattled, they should be lifting Sam but some poor naive play in the last half of the second half have Mayo probably favorites almost.

Tandey

Violent elbow to the throat. What a sickner.

Why is the game not being referred?

TomsOnTheRoof

As a neutral I hope to christ Mayo do it. Dublin are a cynical, nasty side.

As good as a screen grab when a game is played at 100 miles an hour.

GAA isn't for everyone

Referee is Dublin's 16th man

Dublin showing the knacks they are when under the kosh. Hopefully they're bet here and we won't have to watch the shite they play again this year.

If you look at the sneaky unsportsmanlike Mayo team, I’d reserve ‘hate’ for them... no neutral could hold their head up and want them to win.

I see sheep

Wtf is this ****, Dublin thugs
