The 2021 All Ireland Senior Football Championship

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.

Fully deserved black card.

The ref is chronic though.

Good for ya. And still on thread... Bizarre

He finally produces a black card

That decision alone might see the end of Lane, no way a free or black.

I wouldn’t rule it out going by the pure absolute thuggery of some of the dublin “players” on show here this evening.

That was actually no where near a black card.

Swings and roundabouts I remember Eoghan Mulligan's steps back in 2005 for his goal v Tyrone.

That's not a black then cos he didn't move towards him.

The ref starting to grow a pair.

That’s a shocking black

Someone told the ref theres a black card!

Dubs resorting to disgusting tactics. Horrible.

Disgrace, Joe.

Great score for Mayo.

Wtf was that ? Trying to be way to clever, costs his team a point all be it a well taken one.

I'd say Dublin could hit a lad with a hammer and Conor Lane would give a yellow

Lane should never ref a senior gaa match again

does he actually know the rules?

dublin should be down to 13 (1 red and 1 borderline red but definitely a black not a yellow)

some of the comments on here a disgrace

Just the 8 steps by Bugler there for his point

This is entertaining in a fashion that it is not supposed to be

How do Dublin win every throw up

We've been saying that for a decade. Welcome to the club.

They have absolutely no shame whatsoever. An odd bunch with a chip on their shoulder a kin to the little Englanders across the pond.

Don't insult dirt.

Lowest of the low to do that on a sports field.

Lane is bought and paid for, he’s pathetic.

The GAA is completely corrupt, if that’s not a red card then nothing is.

Big men in here calling people scumbags and knackers. Mods?
