Roscommon the only potential value there
Armagh on penalties
Dublin by 8
Donegal by 14
Kerry by 18
Eamonn Fitzmaurice said on the Sunday Game last night that the Kerry lads want a good test to see where they’re at. I thought at the time that they could regret wanting that test given that Derry were potential opponents.
Will Baysht and Walsh be back to face Dublin?
A lot of lads had you written off over casting your colours to the Davy Burke project. But here we are with Roscommon a penalty shootout away from an All-Ireland semi-final. A friend of mine who’s in Australia reckons he’d come home for the semi-final if they beat Armagh.
He’s right. This is the best for Kerry. Win and cast off the absolute apathy and drudge around the side. Lose and have the latest JOC era put to bed.
I make it that Mickey Harte leads Jack O’Connor 5-4 on head to heads.
2004 NFL - Harte
2005 NFL - O’Connor
2005 All-Ireland final - Harte
2006 NFL - Harte
2009 NFL - O’Connor
2010 NFL - Harte
2012 Qualifiers - O’Connor
2023 Super 16 - O’Connor
2024 NFL - Harte
Only one of those meetings was in Croke Park.
The teams who played this weekend are at a ten point disadvantage against does who didn’t play.
You’d imagine the team who played this weekend should get a savage bounce, as opposed to the teams going in cold next weekend.
Momentum is a powerful thing
Unquantifiable to those not in the know. Yknow.
What a day of sport on Sunday 
SATURDAY
4pm - Armagh v Roscommon
6.15pm - Dublin v Galway
1.15pm - Donegal v Louth
3.15pm - Kerry v Derry
The referees have been announced for this weekend’s All-Ireland football quarter-finals.
Armagh v Roscommon - Martin McNally
Dublin v Galway - Seán Hurson
Donegal v Louth - Joe McQuillan
Kerry v Derry - David Coldrick
I can announce that Donegal appreciate the break in hard opposition that we’ve faced all year (bar Clare, of course)
McGuinness’s time coaching in Louth might prove valuable for this tie.
Louth have the power of Christ with them.
However, Jim being the Messiah might fuck with that.
People calling for perspective that Cork beat us and Louth beat Cork.
However, the 6 day turnaround for us v Cork, the journey and the fact that they’d a fortnight’s rest won them that.
Louth showed no fear of Dublin in Leinster so they don’t get starstruck but I sense Jim feels he left enough All Irelands behind him that no stone will go unturned.
Crazy that there’s only a 2 week break to the semis and same to the final.
Jimmy has it all planned. He knew what he was at with that Cork result.
Turned a blind eye to two stonewall mcguigan penalties v armagh, ignored numerous grievous assaults on mcfaul. The fix is in
Is there any referee that is not trying to rob Derry?
Least surprising conspiracy theory of the day
Bound to be, but they’ll not be given the big games
