First up for ‘live’ TV coverage of Championship 2021:Sligo v Mayo, followed by Kerry v Clare (both on Sky): Analysts: Jim McGuinness and Kieran Donaghy. Weekend completed by the Sunday Game (night); Analysts: Ciarán Whelan, ‘Gooch’ Cooper, Jackie Tyrrell, Brendan Cummins. At a time when there’s much focus on championship formats, which impact directly on them, their views would be interesting. The other two will be refereed by Leinster refs while two Ulster quarter-finals will be refereed by Ulster men. Sunday Independent writer, Raymond Smith even suggested that Clare should drop down to the All-Ireland ‘B’ championship for a year.
