Tyrone's big win against Clare means it's winner takes all in 2 weeks time to see who tops the group. Their win today puts them on +7 score difference (if my counting is right). We are on +5 so if both ourselves and tyrone win we need to better their result by 3 points to top the group Donegal-lad27 (Donegal) - Posts: 5 - 02/06/2024 15:40:32 2548891 Link 0 |
You can put Galway in that bracket with Donegal, Derry, Tyrone and Armagh. They've done nothing more than Donegal have, if winning your province and beating Derry is a barometer.

Disappointing result yesterday but not the be all. Unfortunately things are out of our hands now and comparing our performances with 2 weeks to spare and 1 weeks preparation would suggest finishing top is vital with an eye on getting to a semi final. Better to lose now but leaves things tricky. Looking at the highlights it seemed we dominated much of the play but goals cost us with 2 been very cheap. The turnovers in the lead up looked like a lack of concentration which can be attributed to not being fully there mentally. Hopefully now it'll deflated a bit of the hype which is no bad thing and we turn up fully focused for Clare. We need to be more ruthless when it comes to taking goal chances. They've been there but we've not been proficient enough. I doubt Jimmy will let us conceded 3 goals again which done us yesterday. I hope those who travelled enjoyed Cork City. It's a great city to go out in. panamasam (Australia) - Posts: 2786 - 02/06/2024 16:53:27 2548916 Link 0 |
I didn't say, "I shudder to think what Dublin would do to ye!" That wouldn't be shuddering. That would be earthquaking! Keep the Dubs out of this conversation please because it concerns at comparison of the supposedly 'futile' Munster football championship versus the 'great' (erstwhile) Ulster championship. I can see Tyrone draw with Cork in the final round, which will suit both of those sides. Therefore, that deems a straight shootout between Donegal versus Clare in your next game at a neutral venue. I've a tasty hunch that Clare will spring a surprise...Bye, bye, Jim! foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 1972 - 02/06/2024 16:53:50 2548917 Link 0 |
Agree with you entirely. This "power rankings" business is so juvenile so I'll leave that to the children. Dublin for so many reasons both on and off the pitch are ahead of everyone. Kerry are then probably next best placed for a crack at Sam but take a couple of key players out and they're right back in the chasing pack. I see everyone's new favourite "third place in the power rankings" team were fortunate to get past Westmeath today. Hopefully another big crowd out to support the lads now in two weeks again and we win well with other results going our way.

And there's no shame dubs have had best team on history how many all irelands have ye vs kerry and Kerry are perennial challengers. At least Kerry get to croker regularly in fairness. Doesn't say a lot for the rest so they are by far until proven otherwise the closest to dublin Gaaforlife2023 (Longford) - Posts: 228 - 02/06/2024 17:16:48 2548927 Link 0 |
I would definitely say that finishing top will make of break our season going forward. The extra break would definitely help our team and it's definitely an advantage going straight into a quarter final. The keeper (Donegal) - Posts: 690 - 02/06/2024 17:21:39 2548932 Link 1 |

I didn't expect my post to rattle your cage that much. Try not to let your bitterness/jealousy towards Jim eat you up. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 836 - 02/06/2024 17:36:47 2548942 Link 2 |
