Anyone else tired of hearing this expression when it comes to football? There's a top 3 of Dublin, Kerry & Mayo for the last few years with Tyrone, Donegal & Monaghan not going remotely close on winning Sam. Monaghan haven't even managed to win a quarter final during that time. Now it looks like Donegal & Monaghan have put too much effort in their league which has skewed peoples opinion on how good both were.

Replying To Galantis: "For me it's Dublin Tyrone Mayo Kerry Donegal Galway Cork Monaghan Kildare" Kerry fourth and Cork in there at all? You are joking. kildare73 (Kildare) - Posts: 854 - 28/06/2017 14:42:45 2006903 Link
Replying To Galantis: "For me it's Dublin Tyrone Mayo Kerry Donegal Galway Cork Monaghan Kildare" It's hard to rate teams firmly halfway through the championship. It's hard to see a reason right now for Cork to be included in there though. Mayo could do with another good qualifier run to stay so high. Galway, Kildare and Tyrone it's hard to know how good they are. Excluding the Tipp game last year Galway have been on some run. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4241 - 28/06/2017 14:42:46 2006904 Link

These rankings are pretty meaningless to be honest. No1 is the team that wins Sam thats all that matters. Condorman (Dublin) - Posts: 983 - 28/06/2017 15:09:24 2006924 Link

I agree, these threads are pointless midway through a season. Only one team will win the All Ireland. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11241 - 28/06/2017 15:35:31 2006946 Link
Tyrone need to be able to beat Dublin, Mayo, Kerry to be considered on that level, which they haven't done for close to a decade now. greatpoint (USA) - Posts: 427 - 28/06/2017 15:47:56 2006954 Link
