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.

Spillane is going to single handedly ruin this show today 😔

I can see Aidan O'Shea on Cathal McShane at some stage, like on Donaghy a few years back.

The Munster/Ulster, Cavanagh/Spillane BS is starting early. No one wants to hear that rubbish.

Jesus.. Spillane is some pain in the hole.

When I see Fergal Logan Tyrone I'm reminded of Tyrone's midfield in the mid 90s. Up against McGilligan and Tohill of Derry and Gregory McCartan/Barry Breen/Conor Deegan of Down they struggled.

Logan was 5ft 11 and often partnered by Paschal Canavan, 5ft 8 in midfield. It was fair going to win back to back Ulsters when high fielding in mid field was more prominent and no short lockouts.

His carry on a few weeks ago was scandalous..wind bag !!

TomsOnTheRoof

You'd be forgiven for thinking it is a Kerry V Tyrone final with the carry on in the commentary box. Ridiculous

Mickey D not looking in great shape

Have a feeling this will be a dour affair. 1-14 to 0-13 in favour of Mayo.

Man Vs ManUre

Believe you me, Mayo will easily win tomorrow. It will be as non-competitive as when Dublin beat Tyrone few years ago. Nobody expected them to get to the final, even people from Tyrone. By 6pm Sunday you will see how right I am, Mayo to win by at least 6pts.
