Replying To M Lyster: "Why was that brought forward? 2 point free should be abolished." A lot of these new football nonsensical rules are partially the reason for the empty ground. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4972 - 21/06/2026 15:49:00 2680880 Link
Didn't see Donegal matches against Cork and Down but watching them today you could see why they lost both games. Shooting efficiency is all that held Dublin from winning comfortably in normal time. They dominated extra time. Fitness a big thing about Donegal under McGuinness yet looked out on their feet. All-Ireland series into the last 8 and appears to be a competition of who is going to lose the All-Ireland final to Kerry The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 4412 - 21/06/2026 16:47:25 2680899 Link

Quarter final lottery predictions: Galway v Dublin Cork v Monaghan Louth v Mayo Tyrone v Kerry Galway, Dublin, Kerry and Tyrone the 4 strong All Ireland contenders but anything can happen. Donegal, Dublin, Galway and Armagh were the favourites going into the quarter finals last year. Only Donegal of the 4 favourites got through last year. Anything can happen in championship and it usually does. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 9866 - 21/06/2026 19:05:35 2680953 Link
Replying To brayballer: "The Jacks are back and Ulster football shattered." Final 8: 2 from Ulster 2 from Leinster 2 from Connaught 2 from Munster. So no province is shattered. SoNearYetSoFarney (Monaghan) - Posts: 62 - 21/06/2026 19:22:28 2680962 Link

It will be an interesting draw in the morning because I think for the most part, each team will rightly think they can beat the others patk (Monaghan) - Posts: 957 - 21/06/2026 19:52:08 2680975 Link
Replying To Scenicparish: "You just don't get it, the AI Series is now stand alone seperate competition. For years teams in uncompetitive provinces were getting a free run to an All Ireland semi final. No surprise where you are from in questioning the new format. Kerry for a change are having to earn their place in an All Ireland quarter final. It's now a fairer system where all teams are getting a fair crack. This years Championship is a breathe of fresh air." Guess what. Who is giving out about the nrw format now?. Surprise surprise its Jimmy mcguinness. brayballer (Wicklow) - Posts: 711 - 21/06/2026 20:04:03 2680978 Link

Replying To arock: "A lot of these new football nonsensical rules are partially the reason for the empty ground." Attendances have been brilliant this year. Mainly due to the new rules. Moving that free forward was a poor call in my opinion, and we saw some even harsher examples at the latter stages of the club championships. However, the rule changes overall have made football a far better game. Way more contests for possessionln, more 1-on-1 battles, especially for defenders and goal scoring chances and goals scored have increased significantly.
