Replying To legendzxix: "Down v Galway Down will be the example for Tailteann winners for many years to come! Tough game with Galway visiting on Sunday. Down's loss to Donegal is where I would try and draw some linear reference in gauging the Down threat for Galway." Would consider Down at a similar level to Derry at the moment. Derry may have a few better defenders but Down look decent on their own kickout. Galway can be very good or very bad or both in the same match. Galway also changed keeper for last match. Walsh was excellent last day but he can be up and down and his work rate is questionable. Expecting a close game and outcome will be how individuals perform on the day. winatallcost (Meath) - Posts: 690 - 19/06/2025 16:44:18 2619298 Link

Galway will be hoping they can find form at the right stage of the season now and go on a run but away in Newry is definitely banana skin potential. Down will have absolutely nothing to fear and the place will be rocking I'm sure especially if they get their tails up. It's probably the fixture with the most potential for a surprise this weekend.

If that was away v Galway there would be nobody building them up for a win. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2628 - 20/06/2025 13:01:59 2619454 Link

At the moment it is a 50 50 game. I fancy Down by a couple. ORIELMAN85 (Monaghan) - Posts: 630 - 20/06/2025 13:18:57 2619458 Link
All this talk about down and Galway doesn't really matter. Hoping down win but if they don't Galway will be out in the quarters anyway.i don't see louth or cavan making an upset. I think people are writing off cork too much as they have multiple players well able to kick 2 pointers if Dublin have an off day I can see cork winning.

I wonder what odds you'd get now for 4 Ulster teams to be in the semi finals. If the preliminary quarter finals go as expected this weekend, a possible quarter final draw is: Armagh v Kerry Meath v Donegal Monaghan v Dublin Tyrone v Galway Monaghan to beat Dublin would be considered a shock but I'd consider other Ulster sides in the quarter finals to be favourites if the draw panned out like this. Can't wait for the draw on Monday morning.. ! SouthMonMan (Monaghan) - Posts: 167 - 20/06/2025 13:57:23 2619468 Link

Down/Galway will be the closest contest but Cork have no chance v Dublin…they are far too slow…Donegal and Kerry should win without too much bother..

Replying To Scenicparish: "Kerry certainly wont beat Armagh" Darragh ose agrees with can't write kerrt off ridiculous donegal hardly playing great either stop getting arrogant armagh favourites but couldn't write kerry off at same certainly maybe armagh win but fsr from certainty When did some donegal fans become so arrogant ye have to beat louth first as well.

Replying To Scenicparish: "Kerry certainly wont beat Armagh" Arrogance from some donegal to write off Kingdom armagh favourites against them if kerry beat cavan but can never write them off Gaaforlife2023 (Longford) - Posts: 731 - 20/06/2025 18:53:38 2619529 Link
Replying To Scenicparish: "Kerry certainly wont beat Armagh" 38 All Irelands later, I wouldn't say certainly. It might well suit Kerry to be under the radar after losing to Meath. Yerra and all of that. Kerry were nearly knocked out by Sligo in 2009 and they went on to win the All Ireland. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2477 - 20/06/2025 19:09:30 2619531 Link
Replying To Scenicparish: "Kerry certainly wont beat Armagh" Stop good lad. They'd be primed to take out Armagh if they get through this weekend, which they almost certainly will. Kerry with a point to prove against an Armagh who've never been favourites before in a championship match against Kerry. I can see it being very tight and it could go either way, but wouldn't be surprised at all if Kerry beat them (if the match happens of course).

Replying To Gaaforlife2023: "Arrogance from some donegal to write off Kingdom armagh favourites against them if kerry beat cavan but can never write them off" I'm not sure how a Donegal person fancying Armagh to beat Kerry makes a Donegal person arrogant. You'll have to explain that one. Donegal_abroad (Donegal) - Posts: 1458 - 20/06/2025 21:29:06 2619540 Link

Ye'd be more familiar with 'the Corks' anyway, being div2 outfits, possibly why you fancy them so much? Louth have only seen div1 sides on TV this year so far, afaik.

Replying To Gaaforlife2023: "Arrogance from some donegal to write off Kingdom armagh favourites against them if kerry beat cavan but can never write them off" I like Donegal and McGuinness has created a real buzz about the team which is great to see. No doubt a part of that is to inculcate the sort of siege mentality that existed in 2011-2014. The silly row about Hyde Park was part of that. There's no harm in supporters bigging up their team, It adds to the excitement and at the end of the day all questions will be answered on the pitch. Tees us up for some great games over the next month. Impossible championship to call. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3630 - 20/06/2025 22:56:40 2619547 Link
