Replying To Viking66: "The League is perfect as is." Yes I would leave well enough alone at the mo.I also think teams might show more interest in winning the league this year particularly division 1.There wasva feeling last year than winning could hinder a team in championship but as it turned out it did nt.We went from being nearly relegated with 15 mins to go on last game to winning the league and it did us no harm in the championship.I do accept its tougher for Ulster teams though.

Replying To Tirchonaill1: "Amount I post about Mayo? lol, it just cropped up here and I was replying tot he what the Kerryman said,
you're not that important to be posting much about in all fairness now.
Some embarrassing responses here form the assembled Mayo brethern. Chip on the shoulder at all?" Yes, you post an awful lot about Mayo. Simular to the point I corrected on this can be verified the minimal effort. No chips just a deference to reality.

The league is a good competition. 4 balanced divisions. By popular demand it has taken over from the old qualifiers to provide a league qualification path to championship.
The likes of Donegal and Galway pulling up the handbrake is what was undermining the league. The weekend off after league finals should be putting a stop to that.
Galway, Armagh and Monaghan after losing in the All Ireland quarter finals should be targeting a league final.
(@ omahant, please leave format discussions for another thread. Can do without that rabbit hole!)

Replying To Gaa_lover: "Can you name 7 All-Ireland contenders and give a little detail on each team as to why you think they would be contender to win the 2026 All-Ireland as clearly the Kerry poster above won't or Is unable to answer me." Kerry are favourites - imo on any give. Day one of Donegal, Tyrone, Armagh and dark horse this year could be Derry cud take them out so for example if Kerry were beaten in a qtr final by one of the aforementione and add in Galway and Dublin would also the. fancy a crack at the all Ireland w/o having to play Kerry so their the 7 imo-
The article above was published June 2025 about a month before the final at that point Kerry weren't even the bookies favourites and they looked fairly average until 2nd half of Armagh game so there are plenty with chances this year much more so than when Dublin were in their pomp the gap was much bigger than it is now
If it Kerry back it up fair
Play to them but there a lot
Of ball to b played yet
