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.

This amount of cramp in the Kerry setup isn't a good sign of their conditioning

Hopefully that's the end of watching Clifford in the stands. Wasting their time constantly showing him, when he's clearly not coming back on.

How has Peter keane looked at geaney all day,

That's the last thing Mayo should be doing

But if history is anything to go by, they'll find it hard to resist

Fair enough i thought you meant no one from neutral counties watching it.

Take the two Cliffords out of that team and there’s not a lot else going for them

It comes from the media. Absolutely peppered with Kerry-folk.

We were told all year how much improved they were in this area..

White is the best player on the field.

Oh aye. Apologies.

Yeah, I've never been neutral in my life watching any sport.

And still only a point in it

Out on their feet at this stage...

OK might be a slight exaggeration. But context is key.

Mattie Donnelly having a nightmare game. Messed up multiple times today

Tyrone throwing this away

That 5 week break we'll hear all about I'm sure.

That being said, they're only one point down now.

Tyrone giving possession away very easily. They need a score to get them moving again.

There was no context needed. You were talking absolute muck..

Penalties..... Be some craic.

Kerry still getting frees easier than Tyrone from Coldrick.

Kerry showing good heart here in this half

BonnieSituation

That's awful from Morgan.

No need to be shooting from there. Work it in.

Penalties please

Amazing how noone is happy with the ref. A funny quirk of GAA folk. It's always their team getting the raw deal.

Time to take the 45 should do it

BonnieSituation

Cmon ta fupp

Awful miss.

What a poor kick by Morgan.

Tyrone have absolutely sold kerry up a river.
