An awful lot can change between now and when the Championship starts but for what it's worth at this stage, here is my predictions for the provincial titles.
Ulster - Tyrone Leinster - Dublin Munster - Kerry Connacht - Mayo Same story as last year except for Tyrone in Ulster. Id fancy us to make to the Final next year. Providing Dublin and Kerry win their provincial titles, they will be scheduled to face off in the semis. We would be on Ulster side of the draw and I reckon we have more than enough to get passed Tyrone/Donegal/Monaghan or whoever comes through that quarter final. As I say, this would only be very tentative predictions as an awful lot can change between now and the start of the Championship

Its hard to know. Alan Dillon and Andy Moran would be the obvious two. Dillon was only a bit part player this year. He has been one of my favourite players over the years but if he isn't going to get much of a look in he may not stick around. I really hope Andy Moran sticks around. I think he still has a huge amount to offer, even if that is being an impact sub.
The only other one would be Keith Higgins but I would be very, very suprised if he called it a day. They would be the only three that I could think of. We have a good age profile overall

Under the A/B system, the quarter-finals next year should work out as follows (assuming the Munster final will be on July 3rd, the Connacht final on July 10th and the Leinster and Ulster finals on July 17th):
Connacht champions v Munster runners up (or the team that beats them in qualifier Round 4) Munster champions v Connacht runners up Ulster champions v Leinster runners up Leinster champions v Ulster runners up Semi-finals: Connacht v Ulster Leinster v Munster A Mayo-Cork quarter-final looks a distinct possibility, as does Dublin v Donegal/Monaghan/Tyrone.

Why do people from every county believe Sam is "coming home to them", surely if it has a home anywhere it is in Kerry

You should be there about's again next year, it's bound to go right at the vital stage sooner rather than later with that squad of players, you will be a bigger threat than Kerry anyway.

It implies belonging, "back home", "coming home" etc. |

Omagh town. Home. 2016. Let's get the bandwagon in full flow now, as for Mayo.. Mayo won't beat us next season, i can't see anyone beating us in the championship another year under Mickey and his guidance with the young fellas sure only one way we can go, Mayos day has come and gone. Just like Monaghans and Donegal.. Donegal were great in 2012 we're preparing for 2016 and Monaghan fans need to get back to reality with everything based around Conor McManus Dublin and Kerry will be our tests next year, fairly confident baring injuries we could do Kerry.. And doing Sam back to back is nearly impossible. The scum of Ulster

Mayo get far too much respect, we near feel sorry for their lack of winning mentality.
Their defence creaks, an over reliance on O'Shea no doubt they've some cracking players but their lack lusture in defence, their midfield doesn't have much in terms of legs. Good half forward line and a good full forward line but is it better then Kerry's? No Is there defence better then Kerry's.. No |

Right now, after seeing Dublin beat Kerry after playing well within themselves, it is hard to see anyone beat them. I assume they have a better keeper there, Cluxton is the weak link

He'll get an All Star, he's also Capfain.... His kick outs Are the best in the country, sh*t stopping goes to Morgan. No way Dublin will drop Cluxton |

Spoke to clucko last night and told him he was very average in 2 of the last 3 games, he agreed but he will not be stepping aside but will be ready to fight for his spot if management see fit to go that way

I would agree with that but was there really a need to say it to him when he is out on the beer enjoying winning an All Ireland? I haven't seen an awful lot of Dublin's second string keeper but I reckon Clukton needs to seriously up his game next year. Kerry actually did a good job of pushing up on his kick outs and he made quite a lot of mistakes. He made quite a few mistakes against Mayo. His free taking has gone backwards too. 2011 and 2012 he could hardly miss, now he can barely make a free
