After a big weekend of shocks in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, it looks less clear than ever who are the favourites to lift the Sam Maguire later this summer.
Armagh suffered a surprise defeat at the hands of Louth on Sunday, with a last gasp goal giving the Wee County the victory in Inniskeen. With Donegal having also come up short against Cork on Saturday, it was not a good weekend for many of the All-Ireland favourites.
Then you have Roscommon. Tipped by some as a potential dark horse in this season’s championship, they would exit the competition after successive losses against Tyrone and Monaghan.
That is something that led to a cheeky dig from one of their old rivals on the national broadcaster this evening.

Lee Keegan was on punditry duties on RTÉ on Sunday, appearing alongside Brian Fenton and Sean Cavanagh.
The trio would witness a dramatic win for Tyrone over Mayo in Omagh, having also covered Louth’s victory over Armagh earlier in the day.
On the back of the weekend’s results, the pundits were asked by presenter Joanne Cantwell to predict the All-Ireland winner this season. Keegan used it as an opportunity to throw a dig at Mayo’s neighbours on the back of their championship exit.
Cantwell: Sean, you think Kerry are going to win the All-Ireland?
Cavanagh: They’re stronger than the rest.
Cantwell: Who is going to win the All-Ireland Brian?
Fenton: Before today I was going to say Armagh. I’m going to stick with Armagh.
Cantwell: Lee?
Keegan: Armagh.
Cantwell: You were going to say Galway weren’t you? You couldn’t bring yourself to do it.
Keegan: I could say Roscommon!
Brilliant.
Lee Keegan has a fractious relationship with Roscommon and its supporters, with quite a few examples of that dynamic in action down through the years.
As for the other predictions, it seems that many onlookers have retained their faith in Armagh despite their unexpected stumble this afternoon.
