No big surprises apart from maybe Ulster and 3 of the 4 will be in the semi again. Leinster-Dublin Munster-Kerry Connacht-Mayo Ulster-Tyrone Expect the same call for a tier 2 championship when the dubs beat Laois or Offaly by 106 points.

Mayo for Sam it's laughable now - Their demise will begin, following Donegal. Leinster - Dublin Connacht - Galway (Big shout) Ulster - Tyrone Munster - Kerry Expecting Sam to be heading to Strabane and Omagh Town in 2016, back home. Seriously young team with the likes of Donnolly pushing on amongst others Mark Bradley always has a massive year in him.

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. ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

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 ------------- YBIG Resident Pilot |

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 ------------- YBIG Resident Pilot |

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

Got to love your optimism haven't appeared in a provincial final since 2010 yet going to win the all Ireland next year. It's hard to know where we will be next year and will all depend on what young players are brought into the squad and also on how Gallagher uses the older players. I still think several of the players that are touted as possible retirements could do a job for us especially in the role of impact subs etc. For all the hype you are making about Tyrone I wouldn't mind getting them in the 1st round of Ulster next year. ------------- the closest i will ever come to playing for ireland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0_7w4JyvI4 |

Don't feed the troll Ringer. As usual Ulster is hard to call but I do believe that Tyrone have shown enough this year that they could be top dogs in Ulster. I still think Dublin, Mayo and Kerry are a good bit ahead of them and I reckon Donegal would have a better chance of beating one of those three in a one off game than Tyrone, as things stand at the moment.

I think if we bring the right players into the squad next year we be good enough to win ulster again. I be honest don't buy into the hype around tyrone they beat 1 team from division 1 on their run to the semi final this year. Alot of people will automatically right off donegal after this year (not necessarily you walls) but I know we have the players in the county that can come in and improve the team and it's a matter of Rory Gallagher being willing to leave club loyalties aside and have the best players in the squad and starting 15 and as I said still believe the older players can play a roll as impact squads etc ------------- the closest i will ever come to playing for ireland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0_7w4JyvI4 |

I think Tyrone will take Ulster next year, kerry again in munster and no surprise with Dublin taking Leinster. I expect connaught to be the most competitive next year. Galway are another year along under Walsh and he has certainly improved all be it from a very low base. I'd imagine roscommon are still sick after this year so there has to be more to come from them. All that coupled with surely a drop in mayo. After the last few years of all ireland semi finals and finals and bags of connaught titles. I think if Galway and roscommon want a provincial title it's there for them. ------------- I won the Player of the Century award thanks to the people.Pele was second.He also came second behind Aryton Senna as Brazil's greatest sportsman.The award FIFA gave Pele isn't worth sh*t - Maradona |

Every single word of that was uttered this year by people, particularly about Roscommon. It was said in 2014 too. What is going to make next year different to this year, especially seeing as both Galway and Roscommon will have to come to Castlebar if they play Mayo?

Whoever gets the Roscommon job(most likely McStay) has a decent team but will be under pressure straight away just trying to stay in division 1.Hopefully a decent league campaign does the lads some good and sets us up for a better championship. Ros are better than they showed in the championship this year,Evans made some very strange selection decisions.

U21 All Ireland champions. Forget that? The league means nothing, all about championship a good run in Div2 could be seriously beneficial for confidence anyway also gives a chance to rest the big players We've serious hype from Ulster and so we should, we are top dogs in the province. We got to the semis and baring a terrible 10 mins where in the All Ireland final. Our team is young bar Sean and Joe and the team unlike others will have 0 retirements. Mickey Harte knows he's within touching distance of Sam. And when Tyrone get to an all Ireland under Mickey, we don't lose. ------------- YBIG Resident Pilot |

I would still regard Galways season as a positive. Yes, we exited the Championship a stage earlier in in disappointing fashion and threw away a great chance of promotion but there has been real progress in player development and style under Kevin Walsh. The defensive discipline may not be a revelation to others or even that impressive but from a Galway perspective, the difference is remarkable from previous years. We still have a long ways to go but there is a solid foundation in place. Consistency is the key for us now. Last season, we unearthed a couple of useful players in the form of the two Sweeneys, Liam Silke. Younger players such as Duane improved immensely. Gary O'Donnell is settled at No.6 while Damo Comer was a breakthrough for us this year and should be a mainstay alongside Shane Walsh in the forward line for years to come. Our midfield duo need to improve while Paul Conroy was disappointing this season. We need to decide where he is more influential, either at No.11 or midfield. Next season, promotion from Division 2 and a provincial final has to be target. We've stagnated for a couple years in the second tier but promotion will be the platform to bring on a lot of our younger players. Regarding Connacht, I don't expect Mayo to fall apart but they're not getting any younger. They're still the standard bearer in the province and the onus is on the rest of us to match them. Roscommon will be a very interesting one. There is plenty of talent there, the Championship this year was a shambles for them. The right appointment could be the making of them. A semi-final encounter between the two of us would have potential to be a great game. McStay is an awful awful awful pundit, commentator, analyst. I would say person but I obviously don't know him and he's probably alright if ya met him but he's a different prospect on the sideline. As Rossieman outlined however, its been a while since he was involved with that Mayo U-21 team. However, there is no other outstanding candidate there, and he has experience with Brigids as well.------------- You don't know Bo? 2018 YBIG Fantasy Football Champ! |

I agree with you that league doesn't reflect on championship but fact still remains yours had 7 games in the championship 3 of them against teams from division 1 (so your aim opposition to the title "top dog') and yours lost 2 of them all other games in your run to the semi final came from teams in division 2 (Meath) and division 3 (Limerick, tipp,Sligo) I remember similar hype around Tyrone in 2013 after getting to a semi final as well and look what's happened since still not even reached an ulster final You are lucky though have 2 chances of seeing a team in a final if Tyrone don't do it might be able to support few ex team mates playing for down  ------------- the closest i will ever come to playing for ireland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0_7w4JyvI4 |

This Dublin team have now reached legendary status probably the greatest GAA team in modern history. 5 Leinsters in a row,3 NFL titles in a row and 3 AI's in five years. Now it's time to do that double and also next year would be special given its the centenary anniversary of the rising. If we are ruthless Dublin could dominate like Kilkenny in hurling. |

 Ignoring the fact a young Tyrone side were 4 points of an ageing Kerry team we're talking about a team with 11 starters under 25 here, denied two goals also with fine saves and a penalty denied. Yet we're classing a stagnating Mayo team along with them, let Dublin worry about back to back. Sam Maguire is heading to Omagh next year men, Mickey Harte is guiding us to Ulster and then onwards to Sam If county has something positive to take from this year then Dublin, its ourselves. Mark Bradley has never experienced pressure like that before in his young GAA career among others perfect stepping stone, we've the best sweeper in the game in Colm (get no credit for it) I've forgot the last time we conceded a goal.

Kerry, the cute hoors that they are, will probably deliberately lose to Cork next year to avoid Dublin and get Mayo in the semi-final, when Aidan O'Shea will no doubt crash into Cillian O'Connor again, a gust of wind will blow the post two yards inwards to meet a Mayo shot going over for the winning point, before referee Marty Duffy deflects a wide-bound James O'Donoghue shot into the net for the winning goal in the replay in Limerick. Dublin will get a bout of food poisoning the day before their semi-final against Cork and literally sh*t themselves on the pitch as they lose. Cork will need no such bug to sh*t themselves as they lose to Kerry by 20 points in the final. Eamon Fitzmaurice will once more be hailed as a genius. ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

No? Nothing? Grand, maybe you would like to offer a view on the next year's league and Championship instead Tony?

Jaysus, some embarrassingly sensitive souls on here as always. The_walls seems to be a particularly delicate little flower in this regard. Not to worry, he's always got the ever dependable Baldrick on hand to defend his honour on the regular occasions that his fragile sensibilities have been offended. It's a beautiful thing you two have got going on there - the make up sex after a row must be sensationally passionate, yet tender and heartfelt at the same time. Lovely. Kimbap made a series of daft pronouncements about Mayo and the Dubs and then had the mickey taken out of him by a few Dublin supporters afterwards when things didn't go his way - bit of sl*gging, no more no less. I'd make Dublin marginal favourites to win the All Ireland next year followed by Kerry, Mayo (even at 70%) and Tyrone in that order. I think that Gashley is being wildly optimistic in predicting Kilkenny like domination for the Dubs though. ------------- ''I've had a rough night and I hate the f**kin eagles, man!!'' |

Yeah it's great. Fair play, brilliant "bants" Good to see you have a view to offer on the actual football. I'd find it very hard to look past Dublin next year. Don't get me wrong they are by no means unbeatable but if Gavin keeps them focused they will be very hard stopped.

Dublin will be huge favourites for the AI next year. They were 11/8 this year in April with Kerry at 3/1.I would expect at least 2 points between them and Kerry in the betting for 2016.

The AI's like the CL i always say - hard to retain. Looking back at the last handful of winners, i remember people saying Cork would go on and dominate for a few years after 2010, same was said of Donegal, and of Dublin after their two wins recently. |

The odds can be a bit strange. Cork at 9/1 is bizarre and on what basis are Galway the same price as Donegal and a lot shorter than Monaghan? Back to back All Irelands are notoriously difficult but I think it is fair to say that this Dublin team is up there with the great Dublin teams and back to back All Irelands would really cement that. Unfortunately for the rest of us I think they will be totally focussed on that |

New management coming in. The draw could work out in their favour - ie. lose to Kerry and play Mayo in a quarter-final which they could win. Could easily end up in an All-Ireland final. ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

We won the All Ireland 3 times in 5 years. 03,05,08 lets not get carried away Dublin. As for 16/1, I'll be putting a significant punt on that. ------------- YBIG Resident Pilot |

Dublin have just done 11,13,15 Tyrone have never done back to back either. Tyrone havent a hope of winning another AI with that set up,the crap football is now easily exposed by the good teams and it will be no different next year. |
