Tyrone in Omagh. Only joking. I would like to get a run at Monaghan again in Clones, seeing as we have broken our bad form against them in the last couple of years. Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 30/09/2016 19:38:34 1920958 Link
It's on the Thursday the 13th of October on RTE 2 at 21:30 . Actually can't wait to it . oakleafersir (Derry) - Posts: 808 - 02/10/2016 10:56:08 1921399 Link
Replying To Donegalman: "Tyrone in Omagh. Only joking. I would like to get a run at Monaghan again in Clones, seeing as we have broken our bad form against them in the last couple of years." I'd love a crack at Donegal or Tyrone in Clones in first round of Ulster purely to get our heads around the championship from day 1. Win and sets us up for shot at Ulster lose and we will regroup for qualifiers with bit of a break. Hammering Down this year was no benefit to us led to two hard games with Donegal defeat and a week to get our heads right resulting in embarrassing defeat to Longford. Bring on the big boys day 1. What I don't want is Antrim or Down in first round with semi v Tyrone or Donegal that's for sure. seanie08 (Monaghan) - Posts: 1802 - 02/10/2016 11:36:15 1921421 Link

Tyrone in Ballybofey-- they don't like playing in that short WEE pitch by the Finn I think they get sea sick down by the river SamOnErrigal (Donegal) - Posts: 1427 - 02/10/2016 14:29:34 1921488 Link
Well after those 9 leaving Derry I hope the get Armagh or Antrim or Down because it won't be easy to beat Donegal oakleafersir (Derry) - Posts: 808 - 02/10/2016 15:36:33 1921509 Link
Replying To OLLIE: "Meath in Croke Park. It would be the first time that both sides would play each other at HQ since that infamous day in 2010." Yeah have to agree with you Ollie. The atmosphere in Parnell park this year was electric. The venue itself and the stewarding left a bit to be desired. Bit still ne nice to meet the wee in croker. As a second option I want Westmeath in cusack park, lets see how you deal with Andy mc instead of mod. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 02/10/2016 19:55:19 1921595 Link

First option has to be Westmeath RD, either home or away I don't care, in the cause of redemption and new starts etc etc it has to be Westmeath because that's an itch that needs scratching.

Bit harsh on Longford there - take McManus out of the Monaghan team and there wouldn't be much to choose between both teams. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5016 - 03/10/2016 11:21:08 1921794 Link
I think Connaghct could be interesting this year with the emergence of Roscommon, Galway and of course Mayo. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 03/10/2016 11:50:39 1921812 Link

A first round v either donegal or tyrone in clones would be followed by at least one more tough game. Remember 2014? I think that monaghan's experience of having a tough run of games does not work out well for them. Same with us too. 3 games before an ulster final is a nightmare.

Fair enough Richie on reflection I would have to agree with you, I want them in Mullingar, as a lot of them wouldn't even bother turning up in pt. I want not only to beat them, that is not enough, I want to humiliate them. I say this , as you know where I reside. I want it I need it. Yep Westmeath in Mullingar, and Meath to absolutely destroy them, lets begin another 130 years of superiority. :) royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 03/10/2016 16:11:23 1921991 Link

Only problem is I dont think we can meet the westie's first. Huge pity though. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 03/10/2016 16:45:01 1922015 Link

Dubai or Saudi Arabia, we need to see some sunshine, this is the longest winter I've ever seen, nearly 3 years of rain, rain, rain riverboys (Mayo) - Posts: 1389 - 03/10/2016 22:34:31 1922165 Link
I want Mayo as early as possible. I've been listening to allot of rubbish talk that our win in DE BAR was a fluke. I want Mayo badly just to prove it was not so. galwaydublin (Galway) - Posts: 226 - 03/10/2016 23:07:49 1922178 Link
Oh go on then . Mayo away in castlebar why not! We've got to beat them some time!!!! And then Mayo go on to get to another all Ireland final. moros (Roscommon) - Posts: 1080 - 03/10/2016 23:33:11 1922183 Link
Replying To royaldunne: "Not a million miles away from it Ollie." Its a grand town. Seans is some spot. Oldest pub in the country and the Guinness in it reminds me of Louth lifting Sam in 57. It is pure heaven. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 03/10/2016 23:34:39 1922184 Link
