2025 All Ireland Football Championship

They’d want the World Snooker Championship played off in a one frame shootout.

Cracking analysis.

The reasons the games are shite is nothing to do with the rules and all to do with the format.

The players are absolutely wrecked tired thanks to the split season.

Gaelic football needs a shot clock. The passing around the 45m by Tyrone et al is brutal to watch and to play.

With I got a feeling by the black eyed peas playing between frames.

If it goes to a decider they could blindfold the snooker players and let them take shots with random blasts of the hooter going off.

That’s modern sport for you.

Undoubtedly the two best teams in the country. I backed Donegal at the outset of the year because it’s Jim and everything so far has almost been a carbon copy of his first tenure. But I’m very undecided for this one. It should be a great game. Far better than 2014.

Galway was the only team I felt could come between the talent in Kerry and the set up in Donegal. I reckon had the baysht been fit and had Shane not fluted around traveling up and down to play club football in Dublin they’d have done it too.

I didn’t see that coming. I was afraid of Meath’s confidence and refusal to accept defeat in matches that they were behind in. Look, I’d say that dressing room was aiming for promotion for Div 2 this year, and doubt their training was tailored to be peaking this time of year.
Stars-wise, Kerry trump us. But on the sideline is where our real ace lies. Jim has two weeks to engineer a tactical ambush, and we’ve seen it in 2014. He has the ability to formulate a plan, but the question lies with whether this current squad will be able to execute it to the letter.
The plus is Caolan McGonagle coming in and him running well. That’s a clean bill of health for the squad. We got a super clean run injury wise the last all-ireland we won. The planets have aligned in that sense.
Time for the ‘LOOKING FOR THREE TICKETS FOR AN ALL-IRELAND FINAL’ posts every 6mins on TFK until some cunt who doesn’t know where the ignore function is relents, and shuts me up.

2020 was the worst ever or are we not counting covid? Cavan and Tipp qualified through the old system and were way in over their head.

2018 and 2019 were fairly awful too now that I think of it

I wonder who Donegal will get to blackguard the current GOAT this year the same way Kerry got Aidan O’Mahony to blackguard the GOAT of 2014 in that final.

Can we expect more of this from the great man

Hon Roarty bai

Presume that’s an uncle of young Finbarr?

Hes some player.

The Naomh Conall boys aren’t simple

You can see why Jim wanted to blood him in the McKenna cup that time. He’s still only 19 and a half.

How many of today’s starters played in that?

You can’t mentor somebody to be a messiah. You either are one or you aren’t.

8 starters today from the Down match
3 of that day’s starters came off the bench today, and Oisin came on as a sub that day and started today…so 12 featured from today’s players.

"Hes not the messiah , hes a very naughty boy "

Jim will have the yerras driven demented by throw in tjme
They’ll be spotting imaginary spy’s everywhere in Killarney

I sadly concur. You either have it or you havn’t and so few lads are anywhere near that level.

I’m told he added a team of arborists to the backroom team in the winter for their tree climbing skills.
