Kerry and Donegal of course played out a thrilling draw in 2019. There were some good games under the old rules!

Donegal haven't won against Kerry in championship since 2012.

Replying To legendzxix:  "The RTE GAA Podcast pundits went 2-1 to the north west. So that's where we are. Donegal have been installed as favourites. Just because certain pundits don't feel Kerry will win, that doesn't mean that they are being disrespectful towards Kerry. Pundits are only giving an opinion. Sometimes they are right and sometimes they wrong.
The amount of fires that need to be put out to try and stop Donegal is off the charts. Donegal's statement win over Meath emphasised that. That's the reality of the challenge facing Kerry."
Going by the bookies and pundits from various media Kerry are favourites to win due mainly to having an extraordinary talent in their forwards. Looks like Kerry are confident and should win. Donegal are hopeful and could win. A fascinating prospect ahead , good luck to both teams and safe travel to all fans.

Hopefully a good tussle between the 2 best teams in the game in 2025.

Replying To gunman:  "He is definitely an outlier when it comes to Dublin supporters.I always found them to be the best going and very sporting win or lose."
Agree 100% always enjoy the Dubs fans and they are great craic, you'll always get the odd clown from every county but in general I find the Dubs spot on to be around.
I'm not the biggest fan of Kerry fans though tbh, you get the feeling form them they think they are better than everyone else, I suppose because they have won so much, hopefully we'll quieten them tomorrow.

Most well known pundits and journalists seem to be backing Donegal. Sometimes they are right. Sometimes they wrong. It is a monumental challenge.

Punditry isn't a monumental challenge. Either you're right or you're wrong.

The diagonal pattern mown into pitch makes the match harder to watch on TV.

Apart from the group of death it's been a awful championship. Not one knockout game was good.

Donegal badly need a goal and a few 2 pointers to shake this game up. I think Sam will heading to Kerry at this early stage.

Well I hope that puts the arrogant messiah BS from Donegal to bed.

Should change the song to 'Jimmy wins the odd match'

Well done Kerry! Hopefully we can have another crack at you in the next couple of years.

O'Connor quietly closing in on Mickos AI wins as a manager with arguably inferior yet individually gifted teams.
