Replying To Magpie2:  "Maybe it should be played in Wexford Park.
Plenty of room for your 12,000 supporters.
Our ground holds 18,000. And unlike some of your posters I am telling the truth.
Anyway I hope the game goes well for you.
---‐ but not too well."
It doesn't be full too often I'd say thanks for this. Ye are a very poor team thank you for agreeing with me on this.

Good to see Currie back.

Replying To yew_tree:  "Well said. The original poster was bascially saying SF should stop engaging in politics in the six counties which is as daft and idea as you'll hear."
Politics in Ireland should not be confined by British imposed institutions like Stormont.

Withdrawing from Westminster was considered a "daft idea" before 1916. I suppose you think they were all "daft" as well?

Replying To WanPintWin:  "Walk around Galway town and you'll do well to notice we're playing in Leinster final this weekend. Go out the country to the villages and small towns and you'll see plenty flags."
Rural Ireland remains "based." Majority of people in Dublin now will have no idea there is such a thing as a Leinster Hurling final. Nor the remotest interest if they did.

I love the attitude from the Wexford supporters. They know they are going to be really up against it playing a fairly big hitter away from home but they still believe that they have a chance of an upset. That's what GAA is all about.

Replying To endgame:  "I'll go to the game Drax but not stay over. Your minors are playing in Ashbourne. Are you happy with the venue. Tyrone minors looked very good in the Ulster Final."
Would have expected a county ground but a Leinster venue is the appropriate choice venue for a Connacht v Ulster match up.

Tyrone will be favourites but if Galway can play like they did in the 2nd half of the Connacht final the young Tribesmens will have a decent chance of pulling off an upset.

Best of luck to the hurlers tomorrow. Laois have definitely improved since the first day out. They have plenty of pace in the forward line and it's crucial we don't allow them to win clean possession in the forwards to stop their goal threat.

We also can't afford to gift them long distance shots at goal as anyone from 5 to 15 is capable of scoring from distance.

The big pitch should hopefully suit our forward line, you'd imagine at least 30 points will be needed to win.

Days in Croke Park are to be cherished, please god the lads can get over the line.

Replying To legendzxix:  "...
From Option A above:
Seed 1 - Provincial winners.
Seed 2 - Ulster and Leinster runners up, and 2 highest league ranked.
Seed 3 - 9 to 12 on league ranking.
Seed 4 - 13 to 16 on league ranking.

Round 1:
Seed 1 home to Seed 4.
Seed 2 v Seeds 3, separate draw for home advantage.

Rounds 2 and 3:
Home advantage by luck of the draw. Provincial winners already sufficiently rewarded in Round 1."
You are just not going to acknowledge the fact the provincials are not equal and giving the same advantage for winning massively different comps is unfair.

Replying To GreenandRed:  "Number of games to win a provincial is not irrelevant. More games in Ulster than in Connacht or Munster and a better standard overall. Similarly more games in Leinster, currently lower standard overall than Ulster, but with Dublin's level dropping a bit it's more competitive. But this year it's arguably better not to reach a provincial final and have a 5 week gap to an away game in the All Ireland qualifiers, than reach a provincial final and the benefit of a home draw isn't so good against a more rested and prepared team. Depends on the tean's plans for the year and also how they value a provincial win."
I agree entirely, and teams will assess if winning a province is beneficial to them, and train accordingly. Some might even mind injured players, by taking the non provincial route. Whichever, if the imbalance remains, I can see this separation of the two competitions growing, as some have just too easy a route to the same place.

Replying To Tadhg2020:  "No its not relevant. It never has been relevant. We have a provincial system and it has served us well. Our GAA culture is built on it for both club and county. You know this but your prejudice does not allow you to recognise that."
If it's not relevant, then I doubt anyone will ever mention it again? We'll see....
