Replying To legendzxix: "Westmeath can't play Dublin. Louth can't play Dublin. Donegal can't play Kerry. Mayo can't play Monaghan OR ELSE Tyrone can play everyone. Some R3 possibilities: Westmeath v Kerry/Monaghan/Meath Louth v Kerry/Monaghan/Meath Donegal v Dublin/Monaghan/Meath Mayo v Dublin/Kerry/Meath OR Tyrone v Dublin/Kerry/Monaghan/Meath" Shocked by the Armagh result!

Replying To Gaa_lover: "Donegal V Cork Galway V Westmeath Cavan v Dublin Louth v Armagh Kildare V Kerry Five games that should be straight forwards wins Donegal,Galway,Dublin,Armagh and Kerry. A disappointing draw for neturals when you have 5 of your 8 games like that. Tyrone V Mayo Derry v Meath Monaghan V Roscommon Three games that are hard to call. How often have Tyrone won back to back championship games since winning the All-Ireland five years ago? A game Mayo can win so long as they improve defensively Monaghan v Roscommon a game that has high drama written all over it. Home advantage and no Enda Smith is a big advantage for Monaghan to win Derry v Meath big opportunity for both to kick start their championship could take extra time to find a winner I have a slight fancy for Meath." I hope you didn't have any bets on those predictions…. Lúla571210 (Louth) - Posts: 189 - 14/06/2026 15:58:00 2679541 Link

Getting my say in early, I know people are going to jump on the Anti Aidan O Shea bandwagon. Aidan O Shea didn't beat Mayo today Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2749 - 14/06/2026 17:23:17 2679559 Link

Replying To brayballer: "Derry beaten,Armagh beaten,donegal beaten and Cavan beaten.Is Ulster football overhyped?" Not as bad as your own province. 1 Leinster team in Division 1. Poor show. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2749 - 14/06/2026 17:30:56 2679565 Link
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. shaggykev (Donegal) - Posts: 475 - 14/06/2026 17:36:42 2679569 Link
Round 3 lowdown: Armagh can get Dublin, Kerry or Meath. Donegal can get Dublin, Meath or Monaghan. Mayo can get Dublin, Kerry or Meath. Westmeath can get Kerry, Meath or Monaghan. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 9820 - 14/06/2026 17:46:24 2679574 Link
Replying To Saynothing: "Not as bad as your own province. 1 Leinster team in Division 1. Poor show." Agreed. The whole thing is a bit rushed but so be it. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2749 - 14/06/2026 18:00:17 2679580 Link

Replying To legendzxix: "Round 3 lowdown: Armagh can get Dublin, Kerry or Meath. Donegal can get Dublin, Meath or Monaghan. Mayo can get Dublin, Kerry or Meath. Westmeath can get Kerry, Meath or Monaghan." Monaghan only crop up twice there. It's Donegal or Westmeath for them. Quite the contrast there for Monaghan, they'll either get the toughest draw or the easiest one. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 4803 - 14/06/2026 18:16:50 2679584 Link

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 anotheralias (Galway) - Posts: 1083 - 14/06/2026 21:00:33 2679647 Link
