Who'll win Sam Maguire?

[Eth]

Its Kerry's to lose - When the Jackeens are averaging 20 wides a game its amazing that they're still in it - its only for the GAA fixing the draws and Dublin getting easy runs again - Dublin have **** teams like Laois, Mayo and the other side of the Draw had Cork Kerry Armagh and Donegal tripping over each other to even get a chance at the Dubs.

Overall its been a poor championship.

[Jack D Rips]

I think the backdoor system is a joke. Its good for filling the GAA's coffers but Cork beat Kerry in the Munster final and then get knocked out by Kerry in the All Ireland semi final

Is it this weekend?

Is it this weekend?

Second semi between Dublin and Kerry this weekend.

Final ( winners V Kerry) third Sunday Sept

[Mumsafan]

I asked cos we went to Nice for a few days over the Bank holiday last year, to see the Super Cup and whatnot, and on one day , in Ma Nolans, they were showing the Ashes on one screen, the Prem game on another and some big Irish game on another. I expect it was something to do with that.

Sorry to correct ya mate but Dublin are playing Mayo in the Semi Kerry are already in the final.

Mums you probably seen one of the semi finals last year.

If anyone ever has a chance to get to croke park to witness a game of Gaeilic Football or hurling - GO!!

The international rules are in Dublin and Galway this year - the compromise rules is played between The Irish and the Aussies - last year the Aussies played a very physical game and Ireland had to response to it.

There is an expectation of revenge for some of the antics of last year - I hope the first test is a tight affair so the 2nd test will be worth watching this year.

The DUBS to take Sam this year!!!

Just two teams of bog trotting mulchies to beat and he's all ours




COME ON THE MIGHTY DUBS!!!!!!

Yeh sorry about that. I knew Kerry were in the final. A bit of a joke really seeing as they had already been beaten by Cork in the Munster final

Both of whom are miles better than the rubbish Dublin have faced so far.

True, but I've no doubts that the Dubs will step up and be victorious

Kerry maybe, but hardly Mayo
So Hoey, do tell, where do you hail from?

[hoeyd2]

Well, Mayo proved they're better than Laois.

As for where I'm from.... tis a mixture.

Born in Dublin, moved to Cork while I was still in school. Stayed there for many a year. Came back to Dublin for College, transferred back down to Cork for a bit longer. then finished my degree back up in Dublin. Now I'm working in Dublin.

So, in short, born in Dublin, raised in Cork.

Well Mayo did beat Laois, by 3 points. We beat Laois by 14, so where does that leave us?
Dublin have to be firm favourites on Sunday. The Final is another matter........

[hoeyd2]

I'd put Dublin as slight favourites on Sunday.

We both know that the "we beat them by 14, they beat them by 3" thinking more often than not doesn't hold up in sport.

Oh I know. It's just you mentioned that Mayo proved that they're better than Laois

Anyhow, Sunday will tell all (assuming no draw) and I'll probably end up trying to hide my face after a mauling by Mayo with that ghey McDonald scoring 17 points with the outside of his left peg
