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

Kerry were not happy either. Tyrone took their chance, but Kerry handed it to them by thinking the could run through them to score goals. Tyrone scored about 60-70% of there scores off turnovers fair play to them.

However it obvious now why Keane was not given another year in charge.

As Pat Spillane says another ''one in a row'' for an Ulster team

I will have to reconsider my support for Cork hurling as well as Cork football after Kerry have exited.

Pat Spillane used to do a lot of after dinner speeches in Ulster in the late 90's and early noughties. His one liner introduction was that he was ''a member of the Kerry team that won four AI from '78-'81 and three from '84-'86'', he then continue and say he did not mention 1975 as '' in Kerry we do not count one in a rows ''

It was a jest but it kinda apt no Norther team has managed back to back AI since Down in 60 and 61. Previous to that only Cavan managed it as an Ulster team

From 1962 to 1985 Ulster teams won two all-Ireland semi finals. And did Dublin saunter Leinster until about 10 years ago?

On one side of the draw tomorrow is

Donegal, Limerick, Kildare, and Roscommon

On the other side is

Mayo, Armagh, Cork and Clare.

On one side all the teams will be want to draw Limerick and I suspect Clare on the other side.

There is a 50/50 chance Donegal could draw Mayo or Armagh. I am not sure if Limerick and Clare have to avoid each other.

The games are played next weekend I think.

One of Mayo, Armagh,Kildare, Roscommon and Donegal and unless the draw keeps them apart two will in exit next weekend.

The taxi called to say that they would be late.

The Tailtean Cup isn't really getting the TV coverage and promotion it was promised, is it? Pretty much playing in the dark, woth even the online games behind a pay wall.

It should work, it's a worthwhile competition imho, but it isn't getting a fair shot. If it's gonna succeed, it'll be in spite of how it's being ran and promoted, not because of it.

They'll not be waiting too long I feel

Armagh looked pretty good

I Don get this foot block rule. If its to prevent injury, surely its covered under dangerous play

It's a specific rules that is interpreted by its effect. If you are 2 meters away and coming across the path of the players it's not dangerous. If you are blocking him head on and less than a couple of meters you conceed a free.

In the game yesterday the referee interpreted it right in both occasions. Banty was just giving out as his gig is gone.

Roscommon v Clare

Limerick v Cork

Kildare v Mayo

Donegal v Armagh

Tailteann

Westmeath v Offaly

Sligo v Cavan

How does it work between Sky and RTE? I see Sky have rights to two of the qualifiers next Saturday, who has first pick does anyone know

I dont think they'll win an all ireland either but to lay the "they play a massed defence" card on their door is to ignore the fact that everyone else does to. Tyrone, Derry, Donegal, Mayo and Dublin all get at least 12 behind the ball. Even kerry have started doing it.

The only thing that separates one from the other is the speed and quality of the counter attack. I think this is where Galway really fall down in comparison to Dublin and Kerry.
