www.gaa.ie/news/sky-sports-announce-2021-gaa-championship-fixtures/Sky sports have announced their 2021 gaa fixtures. Not good news for Kerry fans as the game vs Clare and the potential semi final against Tipperary will be broadcast behind the paywall. I believe this will only be the third (and maybe fourth if we beat Clare) time since sky acquired gaa rights in 2014 that a kerry game will be shown exclusively on Sky Sports, Super 8's third round games in 2018 and 2019 being the other two times. 2021 Live GAA Championship matches on Sky Sports June 26: Sligo vs Mayo (F), Kerry vs Clare (F) July 3: Galway vs Dublin/Antrim (H), Kilkenny vs Wexford/Laois (H), Limerick vs Cork (H) July 10: Tyrone vs Cavan (F), Tipperary vs Kerry/Clare (F) July 17: Qualifier Round 1 (H), Ulster semi-final (F) July 24: Qualifier Round 2 (H), Qualifier Round 2 (H) July 31: All-Ireland quarter-final (H) August 7: All-Ireland semi-final (H) August 8: All-Ireland semi-final (H) August 14: All-Ireland semi-final (F) August 15: All-Ireland semi-final (F) August 22: All-Ireland final (H) August 29All-Ireland final (F)

Balls, I won't be getting ahead myself like last year, as it stands we ONLY have one game in the championship and that's vs Clare. Who are about the same level as Cork so any repeat of that performance and we will be in trouble again. The tv thing is annoying but I don't think RTE would show it even if SKY didnt have the rights its not the most attractive fixture for neutrals. Sky usually do promotion in the summer so a Sky Sports pass might be an option for people

Is it possible the Kerry matches will be shown on GaaGo? I dont think so unless you are out foreign. North Kerry doesnt count. For the League matches you couldnt watch them on GAAGO if they were on any of the TV stations, presumably because they had paid for the rights. I would presume its the same for Sky. Am I right in saying you can watch it if you have Sky Sports and its not a separate Pay per view situation like that Boxing or MMA garbage.

Is it possible the Kerry matches will be shown on GaaGo? "Sky Sports Arena will be the home of GAA over the coming months, with a total of 18 fixtures broadcasting on the channel – 12 of which are exclusive to Sky Sports. Sky Sports GAA Football action will kick off on June 26th with a double-header that will see Sligo take on Mayo, followed by Kerry’s clash with Clare." Given that the 2 finals and 4 semi finals will also be on RTE, we can assume that the other 12 are the matches'Exclusive' to Sky Sports. Hard to beat the brits for blowing their own trumpet! Don't see what the big deal is with the hype over sky. Tg4 have shown over 18 matches during the month of May and no fanfare. Unfortunately sky have the cash thought!!

Tesco were selling Now TV dongle and one month's sports package for 30. Create an account near the end of June and cancel it by the end and you have most of the matches.
Now TV can stream live on 2 devices so you could even share the burden and its 15

Terrible loss for mayo with cillian o connor out they won't recover from it is say , the whole forward line which isnt the strongest to begin with revolves around him. They will struggle to make it put of connacht id say as they are so reliant on him from play and frees.

Eventually even I had to concede he is "marquee". A monumental loss for Mayo... and even when I considered him overrated I thought him a fine leader.

The manner of Dublin's result against Wexford today leads to questions about home advantage. It was their lowest scoring return in 5 years in the Leinster championship and none of the Dublin panel had previously played an away match in the Leinster Senior Football Championship. Will the Leinster counties now push for home advantage going forward?

Will the Leinster counties now push for home advantage going forward? Or will they continue to be drawn by the appeal of the 'privilege' of playing in Croke Park. You're right, the decision to argue this rests with the counties outside Dublin. They need to decide what they want.

The new lads on the panel are not of the same standard as the previous players. Not writting their obituary just yet but there comes a time when the older lads lose the yard of pace or that bit of bite they used to have. Cluxton stepping away from the panel is interesting and I'd be surprised if he came back.

Yeah hard to see him back this year anyway , comerford a good replacement in fairness. They were supposed to be poor today against a div4 team. As said above the cavalry isnt as impressive as before, still would expect them to be a different animal once they get back home for the rest of the championship.

Last Christmas it still felt as if a Jim Gavin Dublin team had won another All Ireland even though he had left the stage - it was the postscript to one of the strangest of years and championships in living memory. Would the breaking of the Covid restrictions on collective training have happened under Gavin? Or would Dublin have been caught? I doubt it. A lethargic Dublin performance like today certainly did not or would not have been acceptable or happened under Gavin. A lot of leaders have left the stage for Dublin and their loss and that of Gavin may only truly be felt this year.

Dublin looked very pedestrian today. With all due respect Wexford looked like a very poor side but Dublin failed to get their own way on many occasions. Wexford went long with almost all kicks out which were repeatedly fielded by their own players. In the second half they had most benefit from an angled wind and played long ball in. Again they repeatedly fielded these but they seemed unable to use the possession. For the third or fourth time this year Dublin held possession for 3 minutes on the resumption after half time. They then went on to try to score a goal but either the keeper or their own inaccuracy prevented this from happening. They finished the game without one.
McCarthy drove them on but many of the team looked very ordinary. The AIF is on eight weeks from today. I don't think they can wave a magic wand in the time available and become the force that they used to be. I would even say that some managers may have a wry smile this evening. Most of their attacks are channeled up the left wing. A few times O'Callaghan loitered around the left corner flag and when fed tried to burrow his way along the end line. Towards the end of the game some Dublin players got frustrated and at times wasted possession and involved in fracas. The frustration suggested that they were not deliberately playing in second gear.
Nothing has been won yet by anyone. We can take nothing for granted.

But I would still warn people that Dublin scored 4 goals against Kerry a few weeks ago so I would not be writing their obituary yet. They will also have home advantage for the rest of their games.

Mike Quirke has stepped aside as manager. Was fighting a losing battle in Laois for a long time, same as every other manager that has gone before him in Laois.

Mike knew what he was letting himself in for when John Sugrue walked away for no apparent reason (presumed to be differences with the county board) yet Eddie Brennan saw fit to stay on even though he left for other reasons later. The point being that in dual counties hurling is always given priority except in Galway and Antrim. Ask Paul Galvin.

Sounds like that was a very old team mike was managing Probably should have swept the slate clean as a precondition of taking the job O Laughlin , Begley Munnelly probably all over 35 yrs old Whatever about Laois Longford looked like they had oodles of talent just not even close to the level of fitness and pace of game required Not surprised to see yon coach step down Good spot there for an aspiring young coach

I’m thinking Cluxton has been handing in his retirement but the Dublin management are not wanting to accept it Hoping against hope that he’ll give it one more year that has probably been going on a few years now Cluxton would be more than happy to bow out on top I think they are not taking no for an answer

Maybe Cluxton is gone, maybe he ain't; either way it probably suits them to keep their rivals guessing. At this stage Kerry should have enough sense and enough self-confidence not to give it a thought. The likes of Clifford won't be concerned about who picks the ball out of the net after him.

I don’t think Kerry give a jot about Cluxton. It’s not good for Dublin though, I’m beginning to wonder if this Dublin team are not the force they were. Dessie is unproven and for me doesn’t inspire confidence I think there are a lot of leaders on this team that will keep them going but when the chips are down will that be enough, It could well be that they come unstuck before meeting Kerry, if we make it🤪

That right Kerry need not obsess about who s in goal for a team they may not even meet this year But like it or not Cluxton is pure class really an inspirational figure Apparently does not care too much about the media But I met him a few years ago while Dubs were on a victory holiday abroad I introduced him to about 20 enthusiastic U 14 juvenile Gaelic players all wearing various county jerseys including mayo and myself with the Kerry jersey on I asked to tell the kids how he does the kick outs so we’ll To his eternal credit he entertained the kids for 15 minutes on the intricacies of the kick out strategy saying it was like a game of chess and how it was as much about the receivers as it is about the kicker He was so into it that Flynn and O Gara got uncomfortable and dragged him away . To me it showed the quality of the man he may not like the press but he thrives on trying to improve others watch out for him being a coach one day
