Its not wide open at all. We'll all be sitting here in September saying... yaysus... Kilkenny and Kerry again... how boring!

I don't think this is true, I think Kerry will be blown away by Mayo in the QF, who will be ripped to pieces by Tyrone in the SF, who will be brutally beaten by Derry in the Final. (possibly in my dreams)

I also think Tipp might pull some strings in the Hurling, but that's besides the point.

You came up with all that after the first round in the league???

we have this same topic at this time every year, tyrone and kerry have won every all ireland between them since 02, getting a bit like denman and kato star now these two are all that really matter regards winning the title.

Call me a fool if you wish, but the 800/1 football/hurling double for the Dubs looks very attractive ;)

I think Cork will be there in September.

On last years performances, only Cork showed the form to challenge. Hey would a Mayo and Dublin AI final be classed as soft?

OK, you're a fool. Neither has any chance.

I think it will be Tyrone,still think they have best panel.Kerry and Cork will be there or there about's,but for me Tyrone will come through.

800-1!!!!!!!!what a bet..ya dont know what the odds on them both winning leinster is?that might be bit more realistic....stick a bob or two on it anyway..nothing to lose!

have a feeling Cork's time has come and apart from Cussen going to hurlers they are all on board again which is very significant as far as i'm concerned. As for Kerry the McGrath Cup is all they will have come end of 2010!

Cant see beyond Kerry, although Tyrone will see last yr as a blip yr.

800-1 is a good shout alright...

If there was ever a bet to put a 10'er on thats it...

Dont believe the all ireland is that wide open. Hard to see beyond the big three - kerry, mayo, tyrone

I think Donegal will be very hard to beat this year. Ok it wont do them any favours playin their league matches in division 2 ,but in the championship I fancy they'l see off Down handy enough and could be dark horses for an aul back door gallop.

Think we played well against cork las weekend - and will be hard to beat come championship. Armagh and Meath had a quer tough battle too and will also be hard to beat. If the all-ireland is wide open then these three teams will also be in the shake-up.

Last year in Ulster Tyrone were the only team in it, on a different level.

This year you have Tyrone, Down, Derry and Donegal. Those three have not got much better, but Tyrone have seriously come back into the pack.

Mayo as usual; have a team, and you cannot discount the Dubs if they win a game against non Leinster opposition and build on it.

However I suspect it will come down to Cork and Kerry, again.
