Replying To Teddy5: "Can't believe some people have dublin number 1, didn't kerry beat them in league final when it mattered most, kerry are best team in ireland so far" Which would make you guys far superior to Kilkenny with that mad logic Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 13/04/2017 17:12:32 1979165 Link
Cavan at 7 just ahead of Galway at 8, they are better than Meath or Kildare. mhunicean_abu (Monaghan) - Posts: 1044 - 13/04/2017 17:15:37 1979166 Link

Replying To Knoxboya: "Tyrone ?" Oops. Put Tyrone at 5 move all others down one, except Derry who drop out in favor of Louth. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 13/04/2017 18:05:04 1979179 Link
Replying To conman1282: "very simple to sort, use the top 16 places in league @ league end, therefore the 2 relegated in div 2 will miss out and the 2 promoted of div 3 will then be added" A Top 16 consisting of 8 provincial finalists and the 8 Qualifier Round 2 winners is fair enough and retains the provincial championships. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7871 - 13/04/2017 18:47:05 1979188 Link
Replying To Donegalman: "Stick to the games and leave the politics to other people. You would be a much happier person if you did this." I enjoy the games thank you very much. Simply using the forum to air a humble opinion on the direction the championship should take so we can end the championship format discussion forever. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7871 - 13/04/2017 18:48:58 1979191 Link
Replying To ulster83: "1. Kerry 2. Dublin / Tyrone 4. Donegal / Mayo 6. Galway 7. Cavan 8. Monaghan 9. Kildare 10. Meath 11. Cork 12. Tipp 13. Roscommon 14. Clare 15. Down 16. Derry thats would be my current form top 16" Dublin relegated to 2 after one game despite all their dominance? I think you might be overestimating your own county's status. I recken they're closer to Galway than Dublin Sindar (Roscommon) - Posts: 348 - 13/04/2017 19:33:09 1979202 Link
I listened to a few league final podcasts today that I didn't get a chance to hear last week. Very funny to hear what media pundits have to say before a big game when the event is already over. It shows that they're as clueless as the rest of us and punditry is nothing more than fun. If one team was to break from the pack this year and claim Sam who do you think it might be? The pack being Dublin, Kerry, Mayo, Donegal and Tyrone. Galway would be my choice. Though I'm not convinced Tyrone are in the pack! Sindar (Roscommon) - Posts: 348 - 13/04/2017 19:44:38 1979204 Link
I always love these threads no one can or will ever agree. Picking my top 16 I would base it off the last 3 years of championship as well as 2016 and 2017 leagues. Now the league can be very deceiving with teams not at full strength and what not but here it goes. However I'm judging it on what you win, who you beat and the finals you make. 1. Dublin 2. Kerry 3. Mayo 4. Donegal - 5. Monaghan 6. Tyrone 7. Galway 8. Tipp 9. Kildare 10. Roscommon 11. Cavan 12. Kildare 13. Westmeath 14. Meath 15. Clare 16.

On present form I would go with the following 1 Dublin 2 Kerry 3 Donegal 4 Mayo 5 Tyrone 6 Kildare 7 Cavan 8 Galway 9 Roscommon 10 Meath 11 Cork 12 Tipp 13 Derry 14 Louth 15 Clare 16 Derry MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 14/04/2017 00:42:10 1979292 Link
Replying To royaldunne: "No there not." Cavan better than Meath? Yeah we are. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5016 - 14/04/2017 02:38:53 1979298 Link
Replying To Cuckoosinging: "One of the more realistic I have seen but you selected Kildare twice" Yeah of course roscommon are ahead of cavan. Sure based on that logic we should be up there level with Kerry! cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5016 - 14/04/2017 02:41:50 1979299 Link
Replying To Cuckoosinging: "Cavan ahead of Roscommon, Laughable" Why?? We showed over the course of a league campaign that we are in touch with the top 5 (Monaghan being 6th) while ye didnt. Beating us in a 1 off home game when we were already as good as relegated doesn't change that IMO. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5016 - 14/04/2017 02:54:06 1979300 Link

Replying To Cuckoosinging: "One of the more realistic I have seen but you selected Kildare twice" But there are 2 Kildare teams, the famous B team lost in Salthill by a point and the A team lost in Croker by 2 points maroondiesel (Mayo) - Posts: 1197 - 14/04/2017 12:38:07 1979367 Link
