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.

So you completely ignore covid Kerry's forwards Kerry's tradtion and improvement? You need to look at the big picture of what a seismic shock this will be in the annals of Gaelic football.

Kerry fan, can't have any complaints about that, Tyrone well worth their win. The mess up for "goal" by Stephen O'Brien typified Kerry's day. Better team won.

Some bottle job by Kerry. Again.

Ah fair play to Tyrone gave them no chance will leave final thoughts for a while i think may be good for the championship over next couple of years as it might leave a few teams in with a real chance Kerry not as good as most said .

At least Kerry won it in July

well well well

And it is. Dramatic, yes. But quality wise, it was largely very poor.

Well done Tyrone. Deserved.

Congrats Tyrone, Kerry were shite and me thinks Keane will be sacked

Mayo really have the All Ireland won, no way will they lose to Tyrone if its a repeat of todays performance

C__MC

lawred2

Well done Tyrone

UDAWINNER

Well done Tyrone, better team on the day.

Going to be some final.

Tyrone are a horrible team. Hope Mayo do them.

Keane is not the man to lead Kerry to an All Ireland. Found out again today.

Awful decision making from Kerry cost them the game, there was a free in the 1st half right outside the D where the kerry player quickly took it and played it backwards, they ended up losing possession. Plus all of those times where they tried to force a goal when a point was the better option.

Fair play to Tyrone though. should be a cracking match in 2 weeks

No worse than the first semi final.

TBF I think the better team won.

Clifford was a huge loss.

threeball

Morgan a complete liability for Tyrone. They need to move on from him. Missed every free and 45. Made terrible decisions in the closing stages with the game on the line. They won in spite of him being so poor

I remember all the memes about Mayo celebrating the semi win with Kerry still waiting for them. That attitude can seep into a team. Kerry never looked like a team that needed to fight.

MFPM

Great victory for Tyrone and thoroughly deserved on the day. Alot of the hype around Kerry exposed today, so reliant on Clifford. Dubs sitting back with a wry smile :-)
