Replying To Killarney.87:  "And that's why the qualifiers ultimately favoured the big teams over the rest.

Imagine what the 2004 championship would have been like under the old system. The all Ireland semi finals would have been as follows:

Waterford Vs Antrim/Down
Wexford VS Galway."
Although ironically Kilkenny were denied a 5-in-a-row by a team from the back-door.

Very true Ballydalane and you are proving my point because that same team would have gone to the beach with the bucket and spade three months earlier under the old system.

True, but a back door team also won the All Ireland in 2012 and two of them contested the 2004 the 2013 final.

Kilkenny have 71 Leinster Titles most of them gave them automatic semi final passage sine back door I think they failed to get through 3 times (I think) so that would give them 68 semi final appearances. Remarkable statistics.

I know a fella in Kilkenny call Richie looking for a job if you hear of anything. He said he will consider anything and is willing to even sweep the Streets if required !!

Replying To Laois76:  "'Sure Cork dumped them out in the quarters' Pinkie.

The phraseology says it all.

Wexford never get dumped, just hammerings!"
Laois are not exactly in a position to talk about other teams getting a hammering.
