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.

Another good point by Tyrone.

Nice point fron O'Donoghue there. He's been a great find for Mayo after Cillian O'Connor was ruled out for the year.

Mayo's forwards seem happy to spread the ball around and take their men on but Tyrone are more direct.

Bit of a crap game. Slow pace more like a league match. Atmosphere seems a bit muted too.

Oh that was a good chance of a goal for Mayo.

What a huge chance missed by Mayo for goal.

Gilt edged opportunity for a goal.

What hype? There's been zero hype behind Mayo as far as I can see, the majority of pundits saying that it's 50/50.

The hype and bias towards Mayo in the media is ridiculous. The hype will get to Mayo once more and Tyrone to win comfortably.

I retract this. Pure dive there from McCurry.

Not sure about Mayo here. At the moment anyway not looking great.

Mayo seem to be getting frees a lot easier.

Oh I don’t know why it’s doing that but on the rte player when you use chrome cast it switches to Irish commentary.

What a point off the outside of the boot by Hamsy.

You can change it with the "audio description" button on your remote

Excellent free by Morgan.

Wish they'd show the fcuking kick-outs instead of some stupid super slo-mo of nothing.

I think Tyrone are underrated.

Nope. Watching it at my sisters via a satellite box.

RTE news now is in Irish

Are you watching on the RTÉ player ?

What was that yellow for? Mayo played picked the ball up off the ground. So it should have been a free the other way.

Ref clearly not taking any prisoners, wont suit Tyrone more then Mayo.

Anyone else have the commentary in Irish? Watching in rte 2.

Should have been a goal kick. Replays showed it deflected off a Mayo player. Didn't matter, eventually.

Tomás O'Sé on Co-comms. That's more like it.

Tyrone look very nervous.

That was a wide ball

Not a 45 there, poor decision.

Blow it up Ref, we've seen enough !

Both teams seem to have been on pitch ages already ?
