Replying To Belclare: "If Mayo win Sam I'll meet you buy you a pint and shake your hand half way between Belclare and Castlebar! On the other hand if Galway win you have to come to Tuam for the homecoming wearing your Mayo Jersey.." Deal but your coming to Castlebar if Sam is won. Also I wore my mayo jersey as a young buck at the 2001 final... yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11587 - 02/04/2019 22:57:48 2177396 Link

Replying To sam1884: "Connacht -Mayo Leinster - Dublin Ulster - Donegal Munster - Kerry Followed in the Super 8's by: Tyrone Monaghan Galway Kildare To me these are the best 8 teams come Championship but the draw may pit these teams together at some stage which may open the door for teams rated 8 - 12th such as Roscommon, Cavan etc." The super 8 draw is below Group 1 Munster champ Ulster Champ Connacht ru/qualifier Leinster ru/qualifier Group 2 Connacht champ Leinster champ Munster ru/qualifier Ulster RU/qualifier So taking provincial draws, home advantage and league form you'll likely have Group 1 Kerry Monaghan Qualifier team/Meath Mayo Group 2 Dublin Galway Tyrone Qualifier team Qualifier teams will likely come from Roscommon, Donegal, Kildare and Cavan. tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1400 - 03/04/2019 05:04:13 2177425 Link

Too many on here are predicting Meath to the reach the last eight. Yes they will likely reach the Leinster final but after losing to Dublin which could be a damaging defeat who knows where Meath will stand after it? and in round 4 they could draw one of Monaghan,Tyrone or Donegal. All we know for certain is that Kerry and Dublin will reach the last 8 as they won't be beaten in their provincial championships. Of what I seen of Kerry last Sunday I'll be surprised if they make the last 4. My predictions. Ulster Tyrone Connacht Mayo Leinster Dublin Munster Kerry Other super 8 teams Galway,Monaghan,Donegal,Cavan Semi finals Dublin v Galway Tyrone v Mayo AI final Dublin v Tyrone with Dublin winning a 5th AI in row.

Replying To royaldunne: "Kerry Mayo Donegal And unfortunately Dublin Joined in super 8s by Tyrone Galway Monaghan Meath. Winners , I honestly don't care once it's not Dublin as having to listen to them doing 5 in a row would be akin to England 66. So I'll pop for mayo. As I genuinely think the dubs will crumble under the pressure" I genuinely think your wrong , this Dublin team don't crumble under pressure , if they are beaten it will be by a team playing better . superbluedub (Dublin) - Posts: 2842 - 03/04/2019 18:05:34 2177558 Link
Replying To superbluedub: "I genuinely think your wrong , this Dublin team don't crumble under pressure , if they are beaten it will be by a team playing better ." it will take a combination of a few teams and wear them down. They will almost certainly get to a final so im guessing its all about their physical and mental well-being. Vishred (Mayo) - Posts: 303 - 03/04/2019 18:18:05 2177560 Link
Replying To superbluedub: "I genuinely think your wrong , this Dublin team don't crumble under pressure , if they are beaten it will be by a team playing better ." 100%. The Dubs never panic anymore. It'll take a ferocious team to stop them but they can be beaten. Donegal_abroad (Donegal) - Posts: 1417 - 03/04/2019 18:25:58 2177561 Link
Replying To superbluedub: "I genuinely think your wrong , this Dublin team don't crumble under pressure , if they are beaten it will be by a team playing better ." Don't think the gap is as big as people thought before the league started which is a good thing. Connaught and ulster very competitive and the super 8's should certainly be better than last year as a number of team's are at the same level. dublin5 (Dublin) - Posts: 30 - 03/04/2019 18:44:52 2177567 Link
Replying To dublin5: "Don't think the gap is as big as people thought before the league started which is a good thing. Connaught and ulster very competitive and the super 8's should certainly be better than last year as a number of team's are at the same level." The gap was supposedly closing last year too. It will be interesting to see how the trend is bucked this year if at all. Dublin tried out so many players through the league it would be pure ignorance to draw anything from their league performances as a yardstick for the summer.

Replying To superbluedub: "I genuinely think your wrong , this Dublin team don't crumble under pressure , if they are beaten it will be by a team playing better ." Dublin won 3 of their 4 All Ireland's by 3 points or less. Saying they'll crumble under pressure is laughable. Last time that happened was v Donegal in 2014 and that's 5 years ago. What's going to possibly stop Dublin this year is that same thing that stopped Kilkenny in 2010 and Kerry in 1982, 5 in a row is just incredibly hard to do.

I think Dublin can potentially crumble when the pressure is put on, they're only human. It's just going to take a very good team to capitilize. Cluxton's kickouts have been brutal at times when the screw is really turned on Dublin too, during games against Donegal and Mayo in particular. oakleaflad (Derry) - Posts: 46 - 04/04/2019 09:49:22 2177630 Link
Dubs are the benchmark. Kerry are not physically mature enough. Tyrone and Mayo are the only others with the physical capacity to touch them. in_a_bind (USA) - Posts: 62 - 04/04/2019 10:13:09 2177637 Link
Replying To tirawleybaron: "The super 8 draw is below Group 1 Munster champ Ulster Champ Connacht ru/qualifier Leinster ru/qualifier Group 2 Connacht champ Leinster champ Munster ru/qualifier Ulster RU/qualifier So taking provincial draws, home advantage and league form you'll likely have Group 1 Kerry Monaghan Qualifier team/Meath Mayo Group 2 Dublin Galway Tyrone Qualifier team Qualifier teams will likely come from Roscommon, Donegal, Kildare and Cavan." I like the thought gone in to this. Though I think Tyrone will win Ulster and Mayo Connacht so I'd swap them 4 around...and Donegal is the best of the rest. I hope Meath make it to Super 8s. They should make Leinster Final and hopefully avoid a banana skin. Banana skins are probably Cavan, Roscommon, Armagh, maybe Kildare, maybe Tipp? That's all assuming there's no surprises. Roscommon could find themselves in a Connacht final and Armagh could find themselves in an Ulster Final... MalsBalls (Monaghan) - Posts: 223 - 04/04/2019 10:26:14 2177639 Link
