What time is Down v Louth on today in the All-Ireland SFC and is it on TV?
A local derby and very unique pairing at once, as Down and Louth cross paths for the first time in Championship history. There was an inevitability to Louth failing to scale the heights against Monaghan on the back of their Leinster title win and the one-week turnaround from that game does them no favours here either. Down have had the much better lead-in following their win over Clare a couple of weeks ago and they look set to make it count. Verdict: Down Where is the game being played? The game is being played at Páirc Esler in Newry. What time is throw-in? Throw in is at 5.30pm. Can I watch the game on TV? No, the game is not live on television but there will be highlights on The Saturday Game on RTÉ 2 at 10.50pm tonight. Is the game being streamed online? No, the game will not be streamed. Betting Odds: Down: 8/13 Draw: 15/2 Louth: 17/10

What time is Cork v Kerry on today in the All-Ireland SFC and is it on TV?
Cork let a glorious opportunity slip when they had Kerry in all sorts of bother in last month's Munster semi-final and it's unlikely they'll be granted the same leeway again. Their failure to take anything from Meath means that this doesn't even carry the status of a free shot for them. Kerry will be cranking things up for the business end of the Championship at this stage and, while Cork may come out strong, they'll burn them off eventually. Verdict: Kerry Where is the game being played? The game is being played at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork. What time is throw-in? Throw in is at 4.45pm. Can I watch the game on TV? No, the game is not live on television but there will be highlights on The Saturday Game on RTÉ 2 at 10.50pm tonight. Is the game being streamed online? Yes, the game will be streamed live on GAA+. Betting Odds: Cork: 6/1 Draw: 12/1 Kerry: 1/7

What time is Tyrone v Mayo on today in the All-Ireland SFC and is it on TV?
Mayo will still have a chance to salvage their season against Donegal if it goes south for them in Omagh this evening, but it would be a long shot. The fallout from the Cavan defeat has been considerable, followed by Kevin McStay's health forcing him to step back, and there's a feeling that the season can't end quick enough. Mayo have thrived in these conditions before and may confound everyone again. But it just feels like they're not quite good enough this time. Verdict: Tyrone Where is the game being played? The game is being played at O'Neills Healy Park in Omagh. What time is throw-in? Throw in is at 7pm. Can I watch the game on TV? No, the game is not live on television but there will be highlights on The Saturday Game on RTÉ 2 at 10.50pm tonight. Is the game being streamed online? Yes, it will be streamed live on GAA+. Betting Odds: Tyrone: 3/10 Draw: 10/1 Mayo: 16/5

What time is Roscommon v Meath on today in the All-Ireland SFC and is it on TV?
With Kerry in this group, it was always likely to be a battle for the remaining two spots and the winner here will go a long way towards nailing down second. Roscommon barely fired a shot in Killarney and were likely placing more emphasis on this game, which is absolutely must-win. Meath made an important statement against Cork after losing the Leinster final but probably lack the consistency to go to Hyde Park and win. Verdict: Roscommon Where is the game being played? The game is being played at Dr Hyde Park in Roscommon. What time is throw-in? Throw in is at 6pm. Can I watch the game on TV? No, the game is not live on television but there will be highlights on The Saturday Game on RTÉ 2 at 10.50pm tonight. Is the game being streamed online? No, the game will not be streamed. Betting Odds: Roscommon: 10/11 Draw: 7/1 Meath: 6/5

Davy Fitzgerald claims official ‘despises me' as he fumes over Antrim red card during heavy loss to Galway
A seething Davy Fitzgerald claimed linesman Johnny Murphy "despises me" after seeing his Antrim side heavily beaten by Galway. The Tribe Advertisement 3 The 53-year-old lost his temper at half-time as well as post-match 3 Declan McCloskey couldn't believe it when ref Thomas Gleeson brandished the red card 3 Johnny Murphy has long been a highly-respected official The home side were already in firm control on the cusp of half-time when Declan McCloskey was sent off for throwing Tom Monaghan to the ground as they led 2-12 to 0-8. But the red card clearly opened the floodgates for the second half as Micheal Donohue's side ran rampant. Fitzgerald was so aghast at the decision to send only his player off over the clash that when the whistle for half-time blew he angrily confronted linesman Johnny Murphy. Murphy was the focus of his ire as it had been whom had spotted McCloskey and Monaghan grappling and ultimately advised referee Thomas Gleeson to only send McCloskey off.

However, Fitzgerald's post-match comments The Clare legend alleged: "No, it wasn't Gleeson (who'd made the decision). "It was Johnny Murphy seeing it and Johnny Murphy now, probably Johnny Murphy wouldn't have any time for me, number one. Advertisement Most read in GAA Hurling "That's out there. Everybody knows that. Himself and one or two more of them. They actually despise me, and that's fine. "Would it have made a difference there? It wouldn't make a difference. Gardai investigating as GAA fans engage in brawl in shop "Galway better were than us, way better than us, and there's no getting away from that. I'm just disappointed how we played as a team in the second half." Earlier in the interview he had said Antrim will be taking the matter to GAA headquarters. Advertisement He stated: "Today once again once the man was sent off, it was over. "But our issue with the man sending off, and we wouldn't have won the game by the way, is he got a punch in the stomach before that and nothing was done. "The way one of our players was treated by the officials is something we're going to go to Croke Park and talk about as well. "We're not happy with that. Would it have made a difference today? No way. Advertisement "We weren't near in Galway's class today, but there's certain things in the GAA we have to look at and that's it." The bitterly disappointing outcome leaves the Saffrons with essentially a relegation play-off next weekend against Offaly.
