Mod Note Post #1 - The 2022 All Ireland Senior Football Championship.

Down haven't won Ulster in 28 years.

O'Brien is very good winning frees. Grabs opposition players and dives to ground. Surely referees have copped him by now. Referee very generous to kerry.

The camera work is shite for the Kerry game. Keeps cutting to the crowd every minute

Geaney for Brosnan shortly id say. He has been very poor.

That Ed Sheeran lad is having a good influence on the game.

I'm going to ask this question which has been answered so many times but need to reiterate the nonsense of current competition structures.

What's the point of a championship that's been dominated by one team for most of it's history barring the odd Cork victory and rare 'weaker' county triumphs. The whole thing is a **** charade and should be thrown into the dustbin of history where it rightly belongs, not be paraded as genuine competition which is a big insult to players that don't want hammerings and play at a level where they can win something tangible to build upon for the future, not be treated as cannon fodder.

It should be disassociated from the all ireland series in both codes and let the provinces handle it how they like then.

Problem is it suits Kerry and Cork. Football not treated seriously in Cork.

Football is only for those who can’t hurl - as the saying goes in Cork. The rest of the counties in Munster (bar Kerry) have no real football tradition at all.

So there is never going to be real appetite for change. Simple as that.

Similar question could be asked about Connacht.

The only reason the imbalance gets highlighted in Leinster is because there are counties with football tradition that have gone backwards in the last 10 years or so.

You are correct though provincial system should be scrapped.

But Ulster is great comp and they won’t want their competition scrapped.

They did look worried at one stage though. Kerry panel is by far the strongest in the country now. It will be some shock to see them beaten.

Fair play to Flahive keeping David Clifford quiet. No doubt managers will be analysing how he did it.

Moran is a beast, but I think they will only use him off the bench, he gets very headless when he tires towards the end of a game when he starts. Some man to bring on towards the end when you want to squeeze opposition kick outs.

What is the point of RTE and BBC both showing the Donegal game? Surely everyone has BBC in this day and age? Why doesn't the GAA insist on RTE covering a different game if there is one on at the same time time as an Ulster game BBC are showing?

Noelle Healy great in studio low on cliches. High on real analysis. Strangely works well with Pat beside her and his chat of intensity cliches etc. Good mix I like it.

Paddy Lynch one to look out for. Fearless.

You would expect this to go like other games and donegal to pull away and win comfortably from 55 mins on. But Donegal have a knack of leaving teams in it and getting caught
