Poll: Who do you think will win this year's Division 1 football league title?

It all starts next Saturday night.

YOU HAVE TO go back to 2009 for the last time a county other than Dublin or Cork lifted the Allianz Division 1 football league crown.

Dublin have collected the last three titles while Cork completed a three-in-a-row before that. Kerry’s 2009 success preceded the spell of Rebel-Dubs dominance.

The throw-in for the 2016 league takes place next Saturday night with Dublin up against Kerry in Croke Park while Down entertain Donegal in Newry.

On Sunday Cork welcome Mayo to Páirc Uí Rinn and Monaghan travel to Dr Hyde Park to take on Roscommon.

But we want to know who do you think will be celebrating in April in Croke Park?

Will Dublin’s march towards four-in-a-row be stopped? Let us know.


Poll Results:

Dublin (2192)
Mayo (1346)
Cork (720)
Kerry (602)
Roscommon (476)
Donegal (296)
Monaghan (275)
Down (59)

    Don’t mind them. I only found out 2 years ago it was on bbc. Always assumed that it was only on Sky. A fair assumption too I think :-)

    I’m San Francisco-born, and don’t give a rat’s hiney about the business of American football. It’s a business. The teams and players care not one heartbeat about the fans, except as sources of revenue.
    It was such a joy to attend the Munster hurling finals and watch a real sport being played by real sportsmen and to see real fans instead of drunken lunatics assaulting each other while watching steroid-crazed egomaniacs. A sporting epiphany it was.

    What sport isn’t there to make money?

    It’s ok not to like something, you don’t have to watch it. At the same time, keep your stupid opinions to yourself. That way you can hide your idiocy.

    Gaelic Football & Hurling Billie. Playing for the pride of your home county ( with rare exceptions) & in most cases taking financial loss for the honour of doing it. I love professional sports especially rugby & AFL but there is something really special about Gaelic Games.

    Think you’ve gotten it all wrong, the whole purpose of the comments section here is for ppl to voice their opinions. Keep your “keep your stupid opinions to yourself” to yourself @BillieHetfield.

    It’s not boring, your brain is just too small to understand what’s going on.

    I won’t force you to watch, I promise.

    I understand what is going on and it is very very boring. Enjoy staying up all night to watch that tripe. Worst sport ever invented in my opinion.

    Just record it on sky plus keep clear of result and watch after work job done. Lets be fair not many people are gonna be running around work roaring and shouting bout the game so chances are great you’ll miss result.

    Sleep in the afternoon is what has gotten me through the playoffs to watch the Saturday games live. Set the alarm for before the game. Wake up, and OD on coffee until the shakes set in and you can feel your heart squelching on every beat.

    Risky strategy. Twitter can be a bollocks for this.

    Next day off work is the best plan I think.

    You record it on the UPC box and watch it when you get home from work.
