Dublin will either beat Mayo by 12 points or Mayo will win by 1.
Itās a five year rebuilding project for Tipp.
Derry seriously strong and tenacious though
Iād give them an outside chance of Sam tbh
At some point, Mayo fans have to be considered in the fixture-making process. Of 14 cship games in Croke Park since 2016, six of them on Saturday evenings, one on a Monday and seven on Sunday. Kerry have had 10 Sunday fixtures and just one Saturday replay (with Mayo) in that time
The Kerry v Dublin replay in 2019 and Kerry v Tyrone in 2021 were also on Saturdays.
Cahair is talking through his hoop.
Weāll need to improve a lot from a draw against monaghan and a win on pelanties against armagh. Glass hasnāt trained since he was taken off āas a precautionā against clare

Just catching up on highlights of the Cork game, I listened on radio, jaysus gah is very dull on the radio.
Anyway Roscommon are very dull, you gotta live Corkās pace of play when theyāre motoring, disappointing to hear that itās a Galway man driving it but if thatās whatās neededā¦
Anyway I havenāt read the thread, Iām sure somebody knows for sure whether the last game winning free for Cork was actually a foul, it was an awful brain fart

Thereās no way theyāll have three Ulster teams on the Saturday night. Derry/Cork and Tyrone/Kerry will be Saturday.

More a possession-winning free than a game-winning one where it was, still had a fair bit to do. Looks harsh enough there

It was the winning of the game in fairness, Cork wouldnāt have had another shot otherwise Iād say
Thereās only certain teams that can do it successfully at crunch times
Thereās either a really good, or really shite, team waiting to break out in this Cork team. I canāt decide which. They can play good stuff but had the Roscommon keeper not had a mare, theyād still be well beaten

There is no way that is a free, but the Rossie was fairly convincing in suggesting he had done a double hop there by accident. Hard to blame the referee for getting it wrong, but the Connacht sides seem to have had no luck with referees at all this summer.

Could you throw the ball over an opponents head and catch it on a hop on the other side, definitely not,
Is there a definitive rule on it, has it been discussed anywhere with a refereeing expert?
A bounce is to play the ball against the ground and catch it again. A throw is to play the ball away without a definite striking action. Iād consider what the Rossie done to be a bounce or a fumble, I donāt know how it could be called a throw. The referee will have given the free because he thought he had done a double hop Iām fairly sure, just by the way the player reacted.

The place would be wrecked.
The old adage for GAA refs of āif it looks a bit weird, it must be a freeā applies here I think

That would be closer to how Iād describe it, as in he threw the ball upwards and ahead of himself. Twas an unusual move to try in any case
