Predictability of the football championship

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


Mayotyroneman can you tell me where you got that list from? I think a more accurate rating would be the following
1Dublin
2 Cork
3 Mayo
4 Kerry
5 Monaghan
6 Donegal
The winner of all Ireland will come from one of those six, talk of any other county is just that , talk
Now even with that Dublin would have to collapse for one of the 5 to win it
The top 10 could be completed by 4 of the following , Derry , Kildare , Meath , Tyrone , Cavan, Roscommon , Down. But no matter where you put them they ain't got a snowballs chance of winning all ire. Fact.

Royaldunne, realistically the winner won't come out of the top 4, can't see an Ulster team winning this year. It's a matter of preference what way you would order Tyrone, Monaghan and Donegal. You could put the three in any order and have your reasons, I suppose the rest of the Ulster championship will tell more.

dublin obviously ahead of everyone else but no sure thing as retaining sam is a poisioned chalice generally speaking. sure all irelands were as predictable in the seventies where only two teams were generally battling for honours. leinster and munster are still straight forward fot this season but in connacht mayo will get closer battles with green shoots emerging in ros and galway assuming the latter with their young guns can get out of markievicz park alive. it might be just what mayo need. that leaves ulster and with donegal on the easier side of the draw and derry out of the way will time their run to peak in an ulster final. cork my tip to win out.

Dublin out in front, but considering we haven't seen most of the contenders play a meaningful game yet it's a bit early to be making definitive statements about how things are going to go this summer.

1. Dublin

2. Cork
3. Mayo

4. Kerry
5. Monaghan
6. Tyrone/Donegal

The winner will more than likely be Dublin. The only teams I can see beating them are Cork and Mayo. The other four have a chance, but a very slight one.
