Replying To ForeverBlue2: "Only a glorified challenge match… no jeopardy involved…, joke of a championship so far" Jeopardy on the line in pretty much all of the round 3 games. The sky will be the limit for Mayo in this championship should they pull off the win in this game. Lose or draw v Dublin and it's hard to see them improvement on their last two championships which was quarter final exit and non competitive 70 minute performances in those matches.

No knockout means no jeopardy… simple. Imagine you could be still in the Championship after going 4 games in a row without a win…? The All Ireland has become a meaningless joke when that sort of scenario exists…!!!! ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 2173 - 08/06/2024 09:22:20 2550132 Link

The Munster Hurling is setting the gold standard for a competitive round robin. Cork despite their two wins to date night finished 3rd in Group 3. Any win by Tyrone and a big win for Donegal over Clare might see Cork drop to third, similar to what happened to Mayo last year. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8053 - 08/06/2024 14:30:27 2550171 Link

'The Munster Hurling is setting the gold standard for a competitive round robin.' Nonsense. Why do (Munster) people keep perpetuating this myth, when the facts show otherwise. Since the round robin format was introduced to championship hurling, the Leinster Championship has been more competitive than the Munster.

Where would Tipperary and Waterford have finished in the Leinster championship? The Munster hurling championship is vibrant. Big crowds.

Donegal v Clare, Castlebar, 3pm Tyrone v Cork, Tullamore, 3pm Group 3 gets things underway today. If Tyrone beat Cork, Donegal will probably win the group, Tyrone 2nd and Cork 3rd. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8053 - 15/06/2024 12:02:45 2551573 Link
What a game Mayo & Dublin absolutely thrilling. Hard and fair I must give praise to the referee I think the performance of the year from him. Yes there was 1 or 2 called each way but he stayed out of it for the most part. Again a great game of football. These are the games that football needs. Well done Mayo and Dublin. cluichethar (Mayo) - Posts: 467 - 16/06/2024 17:26:30 2551957 Link
Yes great game, very enjoyable and badly needed for Dublin. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8642 - 16/06/2024 19:14:02 2551986 Link
An exciting final round for the second year in a row. Taking two rounds to get to this stage has been the problem. The suggested double elimination will mean one round for everyone and then the same scenario as today. Armagh and Donegal are the big winners from the weekend. The only solace for Galway after being sent to the preliminaries by Armagh again is that they avoid Derry and Mayo finished second, so they don't have to worry about them either. Galway v Roscommon, Cork or Monaghan Mayo v Derry, Cork or Monaghan Tyrone v Derry, Roscommon or Monaghan Louth v Derry, Roscommon or Cork legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8053 - 16/06/2024 19:20:14 2551992 Link
Heard the last 20 mins on radio on way back from Kerry v Louth.It seemed really exciting and finally maybe lights up the football championship. CiarraiMick (Dublin) - Posts: 3733 - 16/06/2024 20:01:50 2552003 Link
Great game to be at. End to end from start to finish. Neither deserved to lose so fair outcome. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2859 - 16/06/2024 20:46:57 2552022 Link
Replying To BarneyGrant: "Great game to be at. End to end from start to finish. Neither deserved to lose so fair outcome." People love to mock mayo (currently in transition and down from counties who have never seen a final) but we along with kerry are the only counties to challenge this Greta Dublin team. And that's a fact. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11302 - 16/06/2024 21:48:19 2552055 Link

Fairg enough but Mayo's last point, as Tomas o'sé showed on Sunday game, no contact no free and reapers 45, great kick but wrong call, it wasn't a 45 sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 735 - 16/06/2024 23:26:53 2552092 Link
