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.

You're not wrong here.

Anyone that says otherwise is just stirring.

Aidan unlucky not to goal, great ball, great defending.

RTE commentators think they're selling a nag at Ballinasloe.

TITANIUM.

My god AOS is some liability to Mayo

dobman88

Poor enough game. Expected more from Mayo. It's like they learned nothing from watching Tyrone against Kerry cos they're making the exact same mistakes.

Sudden Valley

Keep not showing knockouts shows how fast the game is

Hammer Archer

Excellent ball by Ryan O'Donoghue. He's been the best Mayo player by far.

A bit of sledging by Lee Keegan after the Tyrone wide. Tyrone followed it up immediately with a point.

If you believe this, you know absolutely nothing about football.

He's not there to score goals and kick points.

Say Your Number

Some lovely scores from Tyrone.

Sudden Valley

Tyrone bossing it. Mayo looking panicked

ShamoBuc

Outstanding play by Morgan.

sligeach

That was so deserving of a goal by Tyrone.

Say Your Number

Could be a turning point

The Big Easy

Jesus, Tyrone are shooting well!

RO'D has lost the plot with these **** stupid turnovers.

Sy Kick

Morgan playing a stormer.

Is O Sé watching the same game as the rest of us? He's talking about this being a brilliant game etc.

Bass Reeves

Tyrone go e three up, Mayo will need to get a couple of scores fast

DJIMI TRARORE

A tale of two keepers

retalivity

Its gonna happen again, isnt it?

sligeach

Tyrone should stop fouling. That must be 4 of Mayo's 6 from frees.

Swaine

O'Shea horsing it but he's alone. McLoughlin needs to be replaced.

I don't know how many football matches you watch, but this is pretty good stuff!

Insh'Allah 👍

Hammer Archer

Mayo won't be panicking regardless of whether they're behind or not at half time. They were 5 down against Galway and 6 against Dublin at half time and won both.

sligeach

Should be a black card.

I watch plenty of football thank you.

This is far from a "brilliant" game that O Sé is waffling on about.

Hammer Archer

Wow that's a blatant black card.
