Replying To S1234: "Lol . They should move Kerry into ulster then we will see how many all Irelands you would win . Enough with the cavan game we know already ... don't think you willbe laughing at us next year !" The amount of hypocrisy you go around Slating every team including ulster teams then turn around saying kerry wouldn't win as many all irelands all ifs and buts Why doing this though when mayo have not won as much as many them and certainly not Dublin and kerry Gaaforlife2023 (Longford) - Posts: 1108 - 25/11/2025 11:09:48 2645994 Link

Anyway before you say it others can have opinion from not top counties. Gaaforlife2023 (Longford) - Posts: 1108 - 25/11/2025 11:11:05 2645995 Link

7 All Ireland contenders: Armagh, Donegal, Dublin, Galway, Kerry, Mayo and Tyrone. 7 Provincial challengers: Cavan, Cork, Derry, Louth, Meath, Monaghan and Roscommon. At least one of Tyrone, Donegal or Armagh will be travelling away to a provincial finalist in All Ireland Round 1. If Galway and Mayo land on the same side of the Connacht draw, at least one of them will be travelling away in All Ireland Round 1. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 9291 - 25/11/2025 21:30:45 2646073 Link
Kerry v Clare Munster semi final. Armagh, Tyrone and Donegal on one side of the Ulster draw. Mayo and Roscommon on the same side of the Connacht draw. Louth and Dublin could meet in the Leinster semi finals. Will it be outside of Croke Park?! legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 9291 - 27/11/2025 20:53:58 2646266 Link
Personally I'd love to see the team that finishes top of NFL's being the winners. Then a provincial championship, teams can take it as seriously as they wish. Then an open draw All Ireland series. The 1984 centenary cup was the only fair 32 county cup ever won. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2499 - 27/11/2025 23:41:22 2646281 Link

It's facts Kerry walk trough Munster. And are flying fit in championship as a result. They could play their B team and still win Munsture sure. Funny coming from Longford you have slated Mayo a few times. S1234 (Mayo) - Posts: 548 - 28/11/2025 09:38:15 2646292 Link

I think mayo could win Connaught actually but we see don't hate mayo just fund ironic not all some get hyped Slating top counties when they haven't be near challenging in last few years or got over the line. With Andy he could bring back Mayo to the fold which would be great to game but talk if likes big counties like kerry couldn't win it next year is nonsense Again what does it mattering I from longford are we not entitled to an opinion on the game itself I never said we challenge for anything significantly and why defensive it's nothing personal. It's good to engage on these topic. Gaaforlife2023 (Longford) - Posts: 1108 - 28/11/2025 12:37:42 2646323 Link

Two of Armagh, Tyrone or Donegal will be travelling away to provincial finalists in All Ireland Round 1. Round 1 could see Mayo v Armagh and Galway v Tyrone, or something like that. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 9291 - 28/11/2025 13:11:55 2646329 Link

Never said kerry can't win it next year just don't think they will ! S1234 (Mayo) - Posts: 548 - 28/11/2025 15:14:06 2646346 Link
Think the league fixtures should be allowed to "bed in" before going to c ship draws.For the c ship i think having the three strongest teams on one side of the draw in ulster is not the most sensible draw.Some kind of seeding system would make sense eg highest finisher in league on one side,2nd on other side and alternate accordingly,though highest finisher should be exempt from prelim round. isfeidirrlinn (Armagh) - Posts: 16 - 28/11/2025 16:20:23 2646355 Link

Tyrone v Armagh prelim round in Ulster with winner then on course to meet Donegal if things go as planned for us. All Ireland should be a seeded draw based on final league placings and then an open draw all along. League winner should be whoever finishes top in every league.

Can you imagine the howls of protest if a President or Croke Park official(s) proposed abolishing the Ulster SFC??? Seanfan (Roscommon) - Posts: 252 - 28/11/2025 18:43:18 2646375 Link

You cannot just change the draw because it doesn't suit Armagh? The only good thing is if a team is knocked out early they can regroup and have a better chance of All Ireland success.
