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

It'll never happen but I reckon Horan would be the perfect manager to take over Meath.

Haha just saw this. I nearly bleeding choked!

League div1 football is a yardstick whether you like it or not. It is a real barometer in form for teams like Kerry and Dublin. In provinces which provide little but run outs most of the time.

You mention these Dublin ‘new lads’ how many is there? And how many from outside dublin name any without Googling them? That is the real tell tale sign. There is no up and coming Dublin player those outside Dublin are talking about.

I think Dublin might give it a go for 10-20 minutes. Play cagey. But gradually Kerry will pull away, with Rock chipping in frees but little else. Kerry by 8. Plus I think Kerry will get at least one goal maybe two. Con only Dublin’s hope for a goal.

As for the Galway v Derry game. With Galway conceding the same type of goal three times v Armagh. Would have to favour Derry to ‘out goal’ Galway.

Do you know how odds work?

As it may. But you certainly don't see, nay read and heed any posts.

If that's the nonsense that the hard-core lads are coming out with, I'm happy to not be one.

Mordor, accurate tbf. Lol

Those Kerry lads have very short/bad memories. Didn’t they hammer Tyrone in the league last year and look how that worked out in the Championship. Do they never learn?

First thing Croke Park need to do is teams in dressing rooms on opposite sides of each other, no temptations at half time for trouble, second thing each team given a set number of players and management for the game and everyone else up in the stand, and last a TMO/ Var to help the ref to get the calls right and this will cut out a lot of off the ball fouling.

the ref needs to in control of the games more and needs the linemen and umpires to help more in getting the calls right, AOS got a black card yesterday for what he has being getting away with for years, telling the ref how to do his job.

Two very difficult semi finals to call and the match odds back that up. Hopefully the two semi finals are won without the need of another penalty shootout. League results count for little come championship, Tyrone v Kerry showed that last year.

Out of interest can you name the 6 "top class forwards" Defensive set up improving rapidly yet have conceded 5-34 in the last two games.

Sorry but all this blaming the dressing room is a load of nonsense.

Is it too much to ask that grown adults can walk off a pitch without assaulting each other and trying to rip each other's eyeballs out.

The only thing that caused a fight was idiots who are guilty as sin. Nothing else is to blame.

Kelly, Tierney, Heaney,

Finnerty, Comer, Walsh.

Derry will have there hands full trying to keep tabs on the above and won't be able to flood defenders up the field like they did against Clare.

That Galway defence well capable of coping with McGuigan and Vernon.

Glass is a beast in the middle of the field but Galway are no slouches in that department with Conroy and McDaid.

I can only see one winner. I think observers are getting carried away with Derry winning an overhyped Ulster Championship and hammering a Clare team that have lost a number of their best players to hurling.

If Dublin don't beat Kerry, I think Derry v Kerry would be a tasty final. Kerry would mince that Galway defence. Derry are much smarter at that side of the game, plus seem to have pace all over the place.

I know some will say Derry only beat Clare, but it was the manner they did it that was really impressive. Plus any team who comes out of that Ulster cauldron is seriously battle hardened.

Galway were a bit of an unknown quantity going into the Armagh game but they were excellent for 60 minutes but their goal keeper is a huge problem, he is very poor for this level. He alone almost cost them the game. They need to sort this out quick.

It would be funny to see them go on and win an AI from nowhere after their neighbours have been through hell and back for a decade trying to win one and ultimately fail.

Depending on injuries and suspensions if Galway avoid both then I think they will beat Derry. I know Derry are battle hardened and playing well but so are Galway at this stage. I was surprised by there grit against Armagh. Ya there goalie could have a howler but Croke Park suits them more than Derry. While a lot is made about other pit he's being larger than CP, people forget that CP is a very fast pitch. It's also completely level.

If it's a dry day Galway by 3 points.
