1-9 not a great pile between the sides
10-15 the retirees are significantly better for me. If Dublin get Mannion and McCaffrey back in the squad then thereās a big boost for them and theyād be favourites for the AI next year, both should have 3/4 top level years left in them. Think Mannion would stand out a lot more in this Dublin side as there would be more reliance on him which might bring out more in him. Always felt he never really had that consistency with Dublin and that was probably due to the others around him being more centre stage.
I heard on the grapevine that the core issue is a significant number of Tyrone players refusing to be vaccinated.
I was likewise told there was a similar issue about vaccination in the Kilkenny camp but their speedbump was, just about, negotiated.

Munster lads rattled because Kerry donāt get a bye to the final.
Not many people in Munster care for football pal. Cork and Kerry have a strange relationship alright.
If by strange you mean we would cheer for the taliban in a game of ball against a Kerry then yes. A strange relationship

The ladies football final is on the 5th Sept. Camogie on the 12th.
So the football final will likely be the 11th?
Why the free weekend? Puts mayo at even bigger disadvantage waiting a month to play again
Assuming the GAA grant the extra week, wtf happens if Kerry are struck down with COVID in advance of the new date and request a postponment?!

Why not?
Kerry are at a bigger disadvantage with only a week to play the final than Mayo would be with a month to get the likes of Mullin fit and ready. Iād say Mayo might be happy with more time to recover a few lads.
Theyāll keep fucking schtum anyway!
