The provincials have been de- valued but the Connacht championship will be some craic next year.

Had a quick look on PP for 2027 - not really sure how we are rated as second favourites.

Kerry 15/8
Donegal 5/1
Mayo 7/1
Armagh 8/1
Dublin 10/1
Galway 10/1
Tyrone 10/1

Mayo went out as far as 33/1 for All Ireland after losing to Roscommon in Connacht. Would Mayo be champions now if they actually won that Connacht S.F ? I suspect probably not.

All 4 provincial finals were big match days this year. The Leinster final crowd was probably lower than what it could have been, it has to be said.

Not so sure the Rossies, Armagh and Westmeath would agree with that.

Everyone wanted competitive provinces in football - we now have 3.

And it is a very tough one to pick the winners of each of those 3 for next year tbh.

Mayo celebrations will last long into the Winter and might affect their League campaign but they will want to be Connacht kingpins again next season.

Leinster - Meath, Westmeath, Louth & Dublin.
Perhaps a dark horse to emerge.
About time Kildare stood up to the plate tbh.

Ulster - I think Donegal will be very determined to put a few things right.

The Hurling province looks to be predictable again next season.

There were 5 or 6 of the usual clueless trolls having a pop at me when I suggested Mayo could make a semi final. I said earlier in the year I saw Kerry and Donegal as the top 2 but there were 3 or 4 teams below that with an outside chance.

I've had a great week. Back to reality now. I'm assuming some of the trolls have been on here congratulating Mayo and claiming they were having a bit of craic. Absolute doses.

Munster is some province for one province. During the qualifier era:
2 All Munster All Ireland finals.
Tipperary made the All Ireland semi finals
Clare and Limerick made the All Ireland quarter finals.

None of the counties had home league ground in their favour at the business end of the championship.
