Football Championship 2026 (Mod Note in OP)

I’d say whatever other teams are left in the quarter finals would be as or more confident they can beat Donegal as they would be of beating Armagh if both those teams go through. Dublin have 2 All Ireland wins this decade and are still a bigger team to see gone than Donegal I would say. Kerry going out would be enough to make all the last 8 look like they have a chance. Still expect the winner will be from Kerry, Armagh, Donegal, Galway. Draw from the quarter final onwards could open a nice route to the final for one county but it could be for 1 of the 4 above.

The thing about Galway is they've gotten to the QF having only beaten Div 3 and 4 teams.

Their luck with the draw will surely change in the next round.

I got Kerry at 6/1 on morning of Armagh game last year. Backed them at 5/2 couple weeks ago to win All Ireland.

Can't see them be beaten. Once go after opposition kickouts others teams can't cope with it. Diarmuid O'Connor is be an addition for that area this year.

Dylan Geaney is going to be top player this year too. No other has the depth of their forwards.

What a nonsense post 🙄

So you've mentioned now a few times. Were you mentioning it in the last few years when Galway were repeatedly getting the toughest draw possible, coming in as no.1 seeds (provincial champions).

The thing about 'no repeat draws' means it likely catches up with you at some point. Kerry and Donegal are favorites this weekend. They cant meet Cork in the QF. If Armagh win they can't meet Louth. All makes it very likely Galway will meet one of them next time out, despite coming in a no.1 seeds themselves

There probably is a route that one of the supposed weaker counties of those left might guarantee themselves a semi the way it's working out. Again, with matchups they'll get screwed at that point however

Great championship so far. The FRC have been a game changer. Whoever fixed upon Jim Gavin to head it up struck gold. He might be tarnished by an ill advised presidential campaign, but Gaelic Football owes him a debt. He was the perfect man to bring in the changes, methodical, analytical he brought military precision to it and road tested everything with so called sandbox games, this established any un intended consequences that may occur and again they were tweaked, it wasn't rushed and the amount of hours in the background that went into must have been enormous. Also his team, Fitzmaurice, Horan, Collins, Murphy im probably missing someone, all level headed in touch with the game and in it for the good of the game. Its been a resounding success and they deserve endless amount of credit. Can you imagine the mess you would have if you had the wrong men in the FRC, im thinking the likes of Brolly, Spillane, Parkinson.

Crazy stuff.

Every pod i listen to are going for Meath.

Its a coin toss this game.

Really?

Why do you think Tyrone are struggling with the new rules?

I think they have really sussed a nice style of play in the last 3 months and are sitting pretty in the Quarter Final.

I think they're the best of the 4 teams there so far and I'd tip them to go at least one step further than last year.
