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.

Great move for that Mc Kenna goal.

Some difference between those two goal chances.

Monumental screw-up by Kerry- junior B stuff.

Calm finish by McKenna.

Could be crucial come the end.

Walk away for a minute and miss a goal. Poor marking from Kerry.

Yes, same issue. Watching on rte news now. I've heard RTE player is woeful but never experienced any problems until today.

O Sullivan doing a great job on McCurry,Gavin White was very visible early on.

David Clifford giving Ronan McNamee a torrid time.

It's awful and riddled with ads.

Poor wide.

Tyrone sizing them up and then striking at the back, is great to watch.

😁 Twice now the free taker has ended up almost in the middle of the goals when he eventually kicks it.

It's better to watch on the phone and cast to the TV if you can. It's still woeful mind you.

At last a Tyrone point after so many bad misses.

Strumms

soft free there, results in a point.

They've been keen to highlight the cupcake Championship run that Kerry have had this year at every opportunity, I wonder why the narrative has changed?

Jayus did not see this coming at all given the background \ build up and context. I hope Tyrone can keep it up would be one of the biggest shocks in Gaelic Football history?
