To me all 4 games could go either way but for what its worth I think Kerry will turn up on Sunday. I will side with Galway but feel that Meath are an unknown quantity. A fresh and under the radar Monaghan to edge Donegal and Tyrone to beat Dublin although defo not sure on that last one. There is a lot of speculation about Dublin but the Tyrone posters are quiet. Is there quiet optimism or is this as good as it gets? Whoever wins looking forward to some cracking games. Brummiejoe (UK) - Posts: 9 - 27/06/2025 10:05:30 2621423 Link
Jack Barry back centre field is a game changer. Marc O'Se said he was flying in training. Kerry by 4-6 kerry4sam25 (Kerry) - Posts: 63 - 27/06/2025 10:21:21 2621428 Link

Replying To kerry4sam25: "Jack Barry back centre field is a game changer. Marc O'Se said he was flying in training. Kerry by 4-6" If Kerry have to bring in a man who was on the beer in Oz for the past 18 months, they wont go well against the All Ireland champions. He was hardly a generational player when he left - throwing him in only insults every other centre fielder in Kerry. How little the county manager must think of the clubs layers in Kerry that he will draft in a lad just home from a years craic in Oz. tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1479 - 27/06/2025 12:33:44 2621481 Link

How are the GAA going to work out the no previous pairings for the semi finals if Dublin / Galway and Armagh all win at the weekend….. ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 4141 - 27/06/2025 13:07:19 2621500 Link
Replying To ForeverBlue2: "How are the GAA going to work out the no previous pairings for the semi finals if Dublin / Galway and Armagh all win at the weekend….." Good question. I found it strange that in the quarter finals they avoided repeat match-ups from the groups and provincial finals, but now they're prohibiting repeat pairings from all stages of the championship. I dunno why... But I think it happened before that some team had no opponents so they just bit the bullet and declared all those invalid pairings valid (because one of them had to happen) and battered on with the draw.

Replying To JimB1991: "This weekend: Donegal by 4 or 5 Tyrone by 1 aet ( game of the weekend) Galway by 4 or 5 Armagh by 3" I think Campbell is a massive loss for Armagh tbh. His impact off the bench is anywhere between 3-6pts I reckon. Be it scores or assists. Not so sure Armagh will beat the Munster men again this year now.

Replying To ForeverBlue2: "How are the GAA going to work out the no previous pairings for the semi finals if Dublin / Galway and Armagh all win at the weekend….." The caveat has always been they will avoid previous parings where possible. Obviously if everyone has played each other, it can't be avoided.

Replying To Cabbagepatch1667: "The caveat has always been they will avoid previous parings where possible. Obviously if everyone has played each other, it can't be avoided." No they don't, why are Donegal playing Monaghan this weekend then? Donegal should be playing Meath and it could have been Galway v Monaghan, Monaghan could also have played Dublin and Tyrone could have played Galway as this would have avoided all the previous encounters. The CCCC make it up as they go along. Ulsterchamps72 (Donegal) - Posts: 151 - 27/06/2025 16:40:31 2621574 Link
It is a funny one that repeat pairings from before the provincial finals only comes into play at the semi final stage. There was nothing stopping Kerry drawing Cork in the group stage or Donegal drawing Monaghan in the quarter finals. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8972 - 27/06/2025 17:34:55 2621588 Link

Donegal should be playing Meath and it could have been Galway v Monaghan, Monaghan could also have played Dublin and Tyrone could have played Galway as this would have avoided all the previous encounters. The CCCC make it up as they go along." The rules are different between the quarter-finals (where a previous match from the provincials could be repeated) and the semi-finals (where no previous ties will be repeated, if possible). It's not obvious why the rules are different in the two cases but they were published long in advance. So the conspiracy theory of the CCCC making it up as they go along can be debunked.

Replying To kerry4sam25: "Paidi Clifford, Geaney, Mike Breen back for Sunday. Barry Dan, David Shaw out.

Poor prediction. 4 not even on team. 4 not even on panel. Positions all wrong. I doubt you are from Kerry. Aibrean (Kerry) - Posts: 347 - 27/06/2025 20:09:21 2621631 Link
Replying To kerry4sam25: "Jack Barry back centre field is a game changer. Marc O'Se said he was flying in training. Kerry by 4-6" Jack is not even on the panel. You did not even bother to check the team which was announced yesterday. I doubt you are from Kerry. Aibrean (Kerry) - Posts: 347 - 27/06/2025 20:17:30 2621632 Link
