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.

It's probably over at this point.

Brilliant diagonal pass for that Tyrone score.

Crazy shot selection and bad misses from mayo this last 10mins.

Games over

Mayo kicked this game away. Never mind the goals conceded and missed penalty. An awful lot of silly/wasteful efforts at points. If I was from Mayo I’d be disgusted.

Swaine

Ohh Mayo what do you have to do. 11 All-Ireland final losses in a row.

Your heart would go out to them and I'm the biggest cynic in the world.

Now it definitely is. Red card for Mayo.

Mayo are a tragedy. Mentally weak.

Hammer Archer

How on earth was the Tyrone player not sent off? He clocked Ruane first.

Mayo losing their discipline once again. First Diarmuid O'Connor on Morgan, and then O'Shea taking out the Tyrone player after the ball in the last attack.

And as I was typing that, Matthew Ruane picks up a red card.

Sudden Valley

Mayo have only themselves to blame. Unlucky with penalty but throughout match have panicked when shooting

I guess Tyrone are getting their easy rip jerseys from the same place Dublin did...

Terrible performance from Mayo. We were so stupid at times, absolutely braindead stuff.

Congrats to Tyrone, well worth their win.

Tyrone the better team by a mile. Mayo probably believing their own hype.

Paddy Pendergast in Kerry better get an updated alarm system after this match just in case! 😳

Mervyn Skidmore

Shirts are from the same place Hulk Hogan gets his from.

O’Shea should’ve been subbed off after 15 mins. Just didn’t work for him today and management should’ve copped that.

My sympathy for them evaporated with that image of Lee Keegan being Lee Keegan.

What's another year

I said it last month. Mayo beating dublin in the semi finals was there all ireland.

Tyrone deserved winners.

Well done to the noisy neighbours Tyrone from a Donegal man. Brilliant Display, by far the better team.

Tyeone are the fitter team.

Sudden Valley

Really feel for the Mayo supporters but again the team has been a let down in terms of performance. Can't rely on your opposition falling to pieces in the second half.

castletownman

Don't agree with O'Se. It wasn't Tyrone pressure that saw them screw up the penalty. Or kick points from ambitious areas under no duress. Or Conroy and O'Shea fluffing clear goal chances either. The bottom line is that Dublin would have finished all of those goal chances, and for all the inevitable sympathy that will come Mayo's way again, they simply have thrown another All-Ireland away. And no other county has been the author of their own downfall more.

Tyrone deserved their win.

The Penalty miss was the clear turning point.

DellyBelly

Do Mayo have a psychologist in their support team. Doesn't look like it ..a very fragile county...seem to lack the bottle on the big day...very disappointed

You have to think Mayo won't get a better chance than this.
