Great to see the GAA are living up to the amature tag with this 19th century technique of deciding home advantage. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13654 - 22/03/2015 17:56:32 1705236 Link 0 |

well all sports use it to decide what way teams play so dont see how it can be classed as backwards as you seem whinging about hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 22/03/2015 18:37:34 1705274 Link 0 |

For Dublin its the right thing to do, at least we have a fifty fifty chance of a home venue. If it went to a neutral ground it would more than likely be Thurles, which would suite Limerick more. clonjon (Dublin) - Posts: 665 - 22/03/2015 19:01:10 1705298 Link 0 |

The coin toss seems to work extremely well for Dublin footballers...ye haven't played a championship outside of Croke Park since 1932.. bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 22/03/2015 20:59:02 1705392 Link 0 |

Ah Wayno it's the league for crying out loud. It doesn't matter how they decide who plays at home. Never mind winning, does anyone actually care where they play? mike03 (Limerick) - Posts: 2000 - 23/03/2015 08:15:42 1705435 Link 0 |

The very least then can do is go best out of 3.....this 1-toss result does not give anybody a chance to get settled into the game. Pinkie (Wexford) - Posts: 4100 - 23/03/2015 09:09:01 1705456 Link 0 |

Have they thought about the coin breaking, landing on its side, becoming lost, its an absolute minefield. Pinkie (Wexford) - Posts: 4100 - 23/03/2015 11:02:28 1705524 Link 0 |
They should play the first half at one venue and the second half at the other venue. If it finishes level and goes to extra time, they should go back to the first venue for the first period of extra time and then return to the second venue for the second ten minutes. They can decide which venue is played at first by, emmmm, the toss of a coin. Tacaí Liatroma (Leitrim) - Posts: 1126 - 23/03/2015 11:12:31 1705530 Link 0 |
