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.

its ingrained in them.

They’d be more at home supporting England.

If we can hold on to win this, I'll revel in your misguided misery.

Bad day for Aiden O'Shea but he deserves this win. An absolute hero for Mayo down through the years.

No chance, it’ll be brushed under the carpet.

The corruption in the GAA stepped up a level today.

Poor old Kevin McStay must be ready to cry for his beloved Dubs.

4 points Dublin's tally in an hour's football, since the start of the second half 😁

Was that not a second yellow for Byrne?

Wow what a disgrace Dublin are.

Mantis Toboggan

The dirt is coming out of the Dubs now, pure filth

Dublins true colours shining now. Easy to be the nice guy when you're winning.

Poor effort, bad decision making, he passes that it’s maybe a goal, two Dublin players through..

wtf was McCarthy doing.

I'd say that black was as much for the verbals.

For a team that’s been training the last 7 months Dublin sure don’t look match ready :)

Utterly braindead tackle by McCarthy.

That's another black card.

More booked here than in Ryan air this week

Good, the ref didn't bottle it.

Well culchies, you've been waiting 7 years for this. Enjoy!!

The Dubs are playing 11 a side it seems

Say Your Number

To be fair if Lane was blatantly pro Dublin, he probably would have given a penalty there.

Adios Dublin. Bunch of knackers. Hopefully the last we see of your **** boring football.

God, I have to say this is very enjoyable. Dublin go out in utter disgrace and the salty tears of the Dubs is the cherry on top. 😅

At least Mayo lost with grace for all those years, the Dubs have lost badly. You can't buy class.

Good riddance to Dublin. They didn't deserve the 6 in a row.
