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.

Why is the GAA president wearing a mask while 40 something thousand people around him are jumping all over eachother. Embarrassing.

Well done to Tyrone, wasn't a great game but they did what they deserved to win. My heart does go out to Mayo, but at no point during the match did I see the experience of losing all those finals backing them to be clinical and take the scores when offered.

Well done Tyrone took their chances, better team because of cooler heads.

CruelSummer

No arguments with the win for Tyrone today. Mayo didn’t take their chances, so many turn overs, wayward passes, missed 45’s, missed penalty, a lot of wides. They had a golden opportunity here and failed to take it. They need a seriously good psychologist to try and remove them from the hype and fanfare + pressure from so many lost finals. This was theirs to lose.

TITANIUM.

Except they failed worse, very poor performance and serious questions need to be asked in mayo. Tyrone weren't great either but were deserving winners in the end. Overall an extremely poor final that won't live long in the memory. Tyrone won't mind that tho. Congratulations Tyrone

This post just got 10x funnier.

At this stage the entire county of Mayo need to get hold of that gizmo from Men in Black that erases your memory and try to start from scratch. The physiological block is obviously too much for them to overcome. No matter who the opposition or the level of performance they bring they always just manage to put in a performance thats slightly worse.

Well done Tyrone 👏

Peak Mayo final performance. Hard to imagine they'll ever be able to win a final. No bottle when it comes down to it in a final.

More chance of Mayo winning the Liam McCarthy than the Sam Maguire...

Congrats to Tyrone and no way would I of predicted them to win the All Ireland. Fair play to them

Mayo supporters words can express how sad I feel for ye

Tyrone by far the better team. Mayo were very poor overall, their misses and decision making were shockingly bad.

He was poor enough today. He looked completely gone by the second half. Didn't have the legs at all.

I don't understand his continued selection to be honest. The man is a poor kicker of a ball and his hands aren't great. He gets turned over quite a lot too. His one real strength is galloping at defences and instead he's used to contest for high balls. Makes no sense.

Mayo would've still found a way to lose it.

Congrats Tyrone, well deserved.

He was right to be pussing, he knew Mayo would chicken out again.
