Armagh Mayo will be tie of the round. This could be game of the year. Both teams just go for it. Armagh possess Irelands most exciting young player Rian O'Neill. Mayo a team full of good footballers. I expect lots of kickpassing in this. Mayo will probably edge a high scoring shootout. Armagh are capable of anything though. Thats the danger for Mayo that if Armagh click they can be dangerous opponents. Dessie_Cross (Armagh) - Posts: 142 - 24/06/2019 15:19:39 2199990 Link 5 |
Mad that Cork are waiting for one of these teams after a sole victory against Limerick. Should Armagh get there they'll have beaten Down, Monaghan and Mayo. Pantani (Dublin) - Posts: 48 - 24/06/2019 15:21:36 2199992 Link 1 |
Give the round 3 qualifier that took place in Newbridge last year a look and tell me again that Kildare play a boring handpass oriented game style..

Assuming that mayo and Tyrone come through, possibility of them being drawn against Cavan and cork, who they should beat also, that would leave Ros in a group with Dublin, Mayo and Tyrone! Long way from a semi final!

I'm sure they will be waiting to see who they get in super 8s before thinking about a semi final ,if they get mayo or Tyrone in super 8s if they win on sat I doubt they will be thinking too much about a semi final

That game is the exception to Kildare's championship matches over the past 5 seasons, not the norm.

Kildare Tyrone will be a headless chicken handpassing borefest. 2 gym manufactured teams. Avoid this one. Diving gymboys will probably bore Kildare to defeat. Ref will need eyes in the back of his head for this one. I don't agree with you on this game Dessie but had to upvote your description of football Armageddon. Brilliant!

Well that is looking at the worst case scenario. If you look at the best case scenario Roscommon would be heavy favourites to get out of the group. I was talking to a Rossie recently who bet 10 euro on them winning the All Ireland at 150/1 (currently 28/1). There are some optimistic souls out there.

Mayo look to be finished on my observation last weekend not in the legs anymore. Hunter077 (Roscommon) - Posts: 52 - 24/06/2019 17:12:03 2200075 Link 0 |
10 euro will hardly break the bank

A few good match-ups here, no doubt. Slightly cheered me up today to see the draw I might add! Hard games to call. Young_gael (Meath) - Posts: 589 - 24/06/2019 17:47:49 2200101 Link 8 |
I agree. Kildare get unfair criticism. That shootout last year in Newbridge 19 points to 16 for Galway (31 scores from play) was a classic but got totally overlooked by Monaghan Kerry on the same day. I actually predicted after that that Kildare would be the coming team with the u20 victory. May still happen overtime.

If the Rossies win Sam our other other neighbours will go into meltdown after coming very close themselves a few times a few yrs ago.

Have you not learnt your lesson in 2017. As good as Roscommon are it was more down to Mayos poor attitude that caught them that day. If they get to croke park they will bring the focus and intensity that will likely be too much for many of the super 8 teams. BeJasus (UK) - Posts: 383 - 24/06/2019 18:29:34 2200132 Link 1 |
We're maddeningly inconsistent, that's our biggest problem......if someone suggested Tyrone would beat us cos they are better I would have no problem with that......but to suggest we are a boring gym manufactured team with the talent we have in the forwards is just, lazy, uneducated, ignorant sniping.

I think so. I remember this wouldn't be allowed one time but I think it is allowed now. If Meath draw Laois/Offaly or Westmeath/Clare they would be favourites to go through i think. I think Mayo and Tyrone will come through on the other draws. They or Armagh and Kildare are the teams to avoid in the next round. county man (Limerick) - Posts: 1102 - 24/06/2019 21:21:47 2200287 Link 0 |
Yes, just like the entire division 2 campaign and the games against Laois, Meath and Dublin the year before that...
