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.

Referee has left his cards at home by the looks of it.

You're slagging a man that has more All-Stars, more county medals and has more AI final appearances than you have brain cells.

Pathetic posting from you. Embarrassing.

Tyrone very slick. Took their chances when they’ve came bar the goal one.

Mayo poor but right in it, and they were so poor first half of the semi though. Ref bottled the black though, if that was a Mayo forward pulled down like that we’d see crowds and posters baying for blood!

Tyrone long range shooting is ridiculous. I think a bridge too far for Mayo

Ref bottled that black card

Keegan laughing and mocking into young McKennas face as if keegan had 10 All Ireland’s in his back pocket.

Sums up Mayo today.

Shocker from the ref definite black card

Having been 2 points down early on and given up a few goal chances Tyrone will be very happy to go in 3 up.

No black card, FFS Joe

Tyrone by far the best team.

Ref bottled it.

Mayo 3 down now historically they are fecked if they fall behind first half. Killing themselves to get back into it. I think Mayo need to be going level or ahead even for psychological reasons.

Hammer Archer

Wow that's a blatant black card.

I watch plenty of football thank you.

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

sligeach

Should be a black card.

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.
