Every week some mad results coming in. Hard to pick a winner but all still to play for. Joyce and Dessie not too happy with their players after last Sunday and hard to blame them but at least they did the interviews eventhough disappointed. When Donegal were beaten last week McGuinness got someone else to take the interview. Jimmy love interviews when he winning only. If Mayo beat them he will go hiding again.

Well done in topping your Tailteann Cup group. Good luck in the knock out stages....

You're wrong on that, Jim McGuinness did give interviews after the loss to Tyrone last week, where he referenced that it would be a tough game to review and his frustration at the performance, he also made it clear that it was nothing to do with the 2 week break following winning Ulster. I don't know if RTE got him, but he certainly spoke with several other Media outlets including radio stations etc.

Armagh are really in the driving seat now.
They have a 4 week break now to get ready for the q finals.
They cant draw any of the following in the q finals:
Donegal, Galway, Dublin/Derry.
Quarter finalists will be
Armagh, Kerry, Monaghan and Tyrone.
Prelim q finals will be
Home teams: Donegal, Dublin, Meath, Down
Away team: Galway, Cavan, Cork, Louth
Donegal could have the following route left to get to a semi
Mayo, Galway, Kerry,
Kerry only had to beat Cork x 2, Clare, Roscommon and Meath to get a q final
If Kerry lose the q final or semi its because they had a soft draw and weren't tested.
If they get to the final it will be because they got a soft draw and weren't test.
No matter what happens between Mayo and Donegal, Donegal are going through to the prelim q finals and not the actual Qfinals.
If Tyrone are winning well at half time V Cavan and Mayo v Donegal is close. It would be in Donegal and Mayos interest to pull the handbreak and not put too much into the second half as they will have two more tough games in two weeks after that.
Might be a Germany V Austria 1982 world cup job in the 2nd half!

Oh a Donegal contributor looking down his nose at Tailteann cup counties and they have only 2 more All Irelands than Wicklow. For your info I might live in Wicklow (nice people there ) but I am not from there but nice try.

Mad for the camera when donegal win.

We in Donegal are in the same boat when it comes to hurling. As long as teams are in competitive competitions on their own level that's what the GAA is about.
As for your own situation I have no idea where you are from or where you live but you have bray Wicklow in your username.

Replying To Eddie the Exile: "Group 1 is set up amazingly well for the final round.
All 4 teams are in identical positions barring 2 draws, can be eliminated with a loss, but can go through with a loss depending on the result on the other side.
Donegal and Cavan win- Tyrone eliminated
Donegal and Tyrone win-Mayo eliminated
Mayo and Cavan win- Donegal eliminated
Mayo and Tyrone win- Cavan eliminated
A Donegal Mayo draw Tyrone win- Cavan eliminated
A Donegal Mayo draw and Cavan win- Tyrone eliminated
A Tyrone Cavan draw and Mayo win- Donegal eliminated
A Tyrone Cavan draw and Donegal win- Mayo eliminated
2 draws- Cavan eliminated
Each needs rhe side they beat to win their final game to ensure progress but if they win it would be more favourable for the team they beat to lose in order to secure top spot. So Cavan need a favour from Donegal, Donegal need a favour from Tyrone, Mayo need a favour from Cavan, and Tyrone need a favour from Mayo. But not if they win their own game, the opposite will apply.
At least I think so." If Mayo win and Cavan win then Cavan top the group. If Mayo win and Tyrone win then Mayo top the group.

There is the small issue that Cavan lost their last match by TWENTY ONE points though, which strongly suggests that they're unlikely to be contributing to any final day drama for the other 3 teams. If Mayo don't get a game3 result, Cavan have already delivered the key blow of course.

Mayo are probably in bigger trouble than Cavan in real terms. They have to beat Donegal whereas Cavan could lose by 31 points to Tyrone and still qualify. It shows that the first round games can be more important than maybe assumed, and Cavan's win over Mayo is no less legitimate than it was before their Donegal result.
Unlikely as it seems, if Cavan do manage to break their hoodoo and beat Tyrone, a Mayo win sends Donegal out. Whatever the outcome, if those group games are close coming down the stretch it will make for some evening's football.
Elsewhere, Galway benefitted most from the weekend's results it would seem

Croke Park will be happy to see the back of the headache of finding neutral venues. Louth v Clare is knockout football but not enough for RTE to show it ahead of Monaghan v Down. A vote of no confidence in Clare who should be in the Tailteann Cup.

Replying To Scenicparish: "Well it is a relegation battle. The winner will be 3rd and the looser's season is over...." The winner will be 2nd, if Dublin win. If Derry win they'll be 2nd, unless Galway beat Armagh, in which case scoring difference will decide 2nd place.
All in all, it's more likely the winner of this game will be 2nd rather than 3rd.

This thing of Mayo needing a favour from Cavan is not true . Who is to say we won't beat Donegal ?
Weren't given a hope in hell going up to Omagh .
Though we love being written off it suits us.
Oh and Donegal ones moaning about the Hyde is stupid !
For being Ulster champs & favourites for Sam ye seem a little worried about playing us in the Hyde .
McGuiness fighting on the sidelines and moaning about travelling he seems a bit rattled ...!

I don't see or hear of any moves to try and have it restored , which would need a motion to Special Congress in October and a 60% majority there.
