Replying To shaggykev:  "16 became 12. Rossies can feel hard done by luck of the draw but other three are the right three eliminated .

This time two weeks we will only have three more games left in championship.

Next week looks way too packed with four do or die knockout games, two knockout hurling quarter finals and taitleann Cup semis as well.

Let the thing breathe. This coupled with WC taking place, expect plenty of giving out about TV and throw times."
When you wake up we will have 7 games left in the Championship. Then on to the real stuff, the club championships.

Replying To anotheralias:  "Kerry Armagh and donegal remain top 3 . I guess a few weeks back (pre rnd 1 draw) it would have seen as disasterous for 1 of these 3 to miss out on direct route as it could mean meeting 1 of the other big 3 in the QF. Ironically now that they have all been beaten once, they will avoid each other in QF. Okay armagh could get kerry in rnd 3, but asuming they dont (and i dont agree with the conspiracy theorists) its unlucky for the 4 teams who went direct route as 3 of them are likely to meet the big 3 in the QFs"
Interesting. Galway go direct to the quarters and a Galway man wants to talk about 3 round 3 teams being the favourites! ;-)

If all 3 come through next weekend, it's likely they will all be favourites for the quarter-finals though.

It seems some northern contributors are a little sore about how Ulster teams are faring in this year's championship. The All-Ireland series is open but in my opinion, Kerry are favourites for the championship especially if they get all their injured players back on the field. The danger for both Donegal and Armagh who are my next two favourites could play in the next round. Great credit should go to Cork as they've played well in this year's championship but haven't received the credit they deserve. Louth's result against Armagh was fortunate as their victory was due to a goalkeeper's mistake and a dubious call regarding a point. Tomorrow's draw will be interesting in both competitions.
