For Donegal obviously we simply cannot look beyond Tyrone. It's a well worn cliche at this stage but it really will be all on the day. We might have a slight advantage in terms of scoring forwards - I really think Oisín Gallen is primed and ready to make a big statement as to what a superb prospect he is. Add Jamie Brennan, McBrearty, Murphy etc to that list and consider that Tyrone's biggest threat Cathal McShane is ruled out. I'd give us the nod by about 3 or 4 points. Beyond that, there would be a few tricky games to overcome. Armagh/Derry won't be easy and who knows who will emerge from the other side of the draw in a potential Ulster final. Another Ulster win to set up a crack against the Dubs (most likely) in the semi final is what I hope to see! Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 7103 - 08/10/2020 16:29:32 2296440 Link 0 |
We cant really look past Cork in PUC either, and I know you'll have lads saying Cork are div 3 and cute Kerry hoors and all that but Cork are miles better than div 3 or even div 2, and as we say down here Cork are like mushrooms they can pop up over night. I'd expect Cork to be a div 1 team again by next summer. If we do somehow beat Cork we will win munster and have a good tilt at who ever comes out of connacht. It could be interesting though as teams will be training in pods, what if a pod goes down with Covid? Then a team could be missing 4 or 5 starters but we'll see.

Leitrim in Carrick for us...straight knockout and with the year that's in it I don't think any team can be taken for granted....however all focus in Mayo is on attempting to stay up in division 1 which is is a tall task, we need to beat Galway and Tyrone to have a chance of doing so. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 10415 - 08/10/2020 18:25:28 2296455 Link 7 |
From a Down perspective, i see us going into championship with 2 wins in league which will give us promotion which in turn sets us up nicely for Fermanagh away. Yourjoking (USA) - Posts: 527 - 08/10/2020 18:57:11 2296457 Link 0 |
Hard to get a proper read form but our county players looked good in the club championship so I think Limerick are slight favourites for the All Ireland. But hey it's so close we could be out after 2 games Breezy (Limerick) - Posts: 1113 - 08/10/2020 19:00:27 2296458 Link 0 |
Yeah Cork are a Div 1 side. If they can get those u21 lads integrated and a head of steam up they'd be dangerous opponents for any team in a one off match, even Kerry.

Cork are where they deserve to be. That's how leagues work.

Can't wait. First up Wexford or Wicklow. Then most likely Kildare and then Dublin. It's 2020. Anything can happen. And I hope to see a Leinster title in Meath this year. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 17142 - 08/10/2020 19:55:50 2296464 Link 1 |

Cork are capable of anything lockjaw, l wouldn't be surprised in this year of craziness that Cork could do the double 30 years on from their last 1.

Like fresh snow this year, think the Dub5 will go into transition myself. Jim Gavin's team and era are over and I think we will regress. Dessies first year, change of back room, multiple retirements, players opting out, be content with quarter final, happy with a semi and exceeded all expectations if we achieved anything else in year 1.

My own opinion is Dublin still have a team of winners and still the team to beat. However I think only 3 teams capable of beating them in the championship and that's Kerry Donegal and Galway. However all 3 are capable of being beaten in their province. This of course could be a strange championship if it goes ahead and if teams lose key players due to covid or injury anything could happen

There is no quarter final, you have a walk in to the semi final against ulster champions, so 2 games to win all ireland not exalaty a big surprise or hardship.

Cluxton, Cooper, Fitz, Byrne, Small, McCarthy, Murchan, Howard, Fenton, Manion, Kilkenny, Scully, Con, Rock, Costello Comerford, Philly, McMenamon, MDMA, P Small Yep. . .that team is definitely going to fall back into the pack! Jack is a loss, and a few lads have another year on the clock but Connolly and Bernard were already fringe players essentially. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 4311 - 09/10/2020 08:29:32 2296505 Link 8 |

No quarters this year. I fully realize that this statement will come back to haunt me but here goes... I think Donegal will win Ulster, beat Dublin in the semi final but then lose the AI to Kerry in a repeat of the nightmare of 2014 just to crown a truly exceptionally crap 2020!
