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.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>. With Donegal having also come up short against Cork<\/a> on Saturday, it was not a good weekend for many of the All-Ireland favourites.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

That is something that led to a cheeky dig from one of their old rivals on the national broadcaster this evening.<\/p>\n

Lee Keegan was on punditry duties on RT\u00c9 on Sunday, appearing alongside Brian Fenton and Sean Cavanagh.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\n

Cantwell:<\/strong> Sean, you think Kerry are going to win the All-Ireland?<\/p>\n

Cavanagh:<\/strong> They’re stronger than the rest.<\/p>\n

Cantwell:<\/strong> Who is going to win the All-Ireland Brian?<\/p>\n

Fenton:<\/strong> Before today I was going to say Armagh. I’m going to stick with Armagh.<\/p>\n

Cantwell:<\/strong> Lee?<\/p>\n

Keegan:<\/strong> Armagh.<\/p>\n

Cantwell:<\/strong> You were going to say Galway weren’t you? You couldn’t bring yourself to do it.<\/p>\n

Keegan:<\/strong> I could say Roscommon!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Brilliant.<\/p>\n

Lee Keegan has a fractious relationship with Roscommon<\/a> and its supporters, with quite a few examples of that dynamic in action down through the years.<\/p>\n

As for the other predictions, it seems that many onlookers have retained their faith in Armagh despite their unexpected stumble this afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a big weekend of shocks in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, it looks less clear than ever…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":535670,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[76],"tags":[18,19,17,13172,132],"class_list":["post-535669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-eire","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-roscommon","tag-sports"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116751815646327384","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=535669"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535669\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/535670"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=535669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=535669"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=535669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
