Replying To KingdomBoy1:  "100% Tyrone were better than us and we were incapable of beating them in the championship in the 00s.

As for "hearsay" Ciarraímick above : sure proving stuff has never bothered you on here mick, the only thíng you've really proved is that YOU don't need proof of anything once YOU can say a "friend" told you, sure didn't a "friend" tell YOU that my county board voted to keep dublin in Croke Park? But again you had no proof.

Your only going with a gut feeling as there is no proof whatsoever that any of those 6 teams are capable of beating the dubs until someone beats them the dubs are incapable of been beat."
Jaysus, have a few snickers there my man.

As long as teams play right into Du6lin hands and continue to setup with an overly defensive mindset I don't see Du6lin being beaten very often at all for a while yet and especially in big games in CP

Du6lin have perfected a total football tactic against such and are so versed now at playing against such that it's become 2nd nature to them. It's just tailor made for more silverware coming the way of the Du6s

Blanket = AI Titles for Dublin

As long as teams continue to setup like that than the capability of these sides will continue to be exposed.

Long may it continue

What a load of baloney. Read the dictionary and you might find what the word "Capable means". Are Tipperary hurlers capable of beating Limerick. Of course they are although they have nt done it in a couple of years. Proof? You don't know the meaning of that word either. You just can't handle the truth and you might not be "capable" of understanding it either.

Mick the other day you said it was a "FACT" that my county board voted to keep dublin in Croke Park, when I asked for proof you said a "friend" told you, you were not "capable" of producing any proof of you so called fact.

So maybe its you that needs a dictionary because a fact is something thats been proved to be true.

Again all your dealing with is nothing more than hearsay and gut feelings and you have nothing substancial to back it up.

I never said a friend. I was told by a Dublin man in the know and then I was told by a member of the Kerry County board thatyes Kerry voted with Dublin against Donegal motion. It was secret ballot but unless they all liars then I'm 100% correct. I asked you to get someone who knows someone in county board to say different but you did nt. On the money thing I told you the articles to read but you still complain. Now are you "capable" of asking a county board member yourself and then be "capable" of accepting the truth.

Replying To jimbodub:  "With everything being held up and a good chance of this mess being far from over yet, will we see another straight KO Championship?

There may be no other option available but at least last year's efforts brought some much needed excitement with some interesting results along the way."
Financially for the GAA another straight knock-out would be a kick in the you know whats but competition wise it wouldn't be a bad thing. Cavan and Tipperary stories were a joy to watch last year and it might give hope to other middle of the road counties to give it a right go.

I think some counties might have to consider having their some of their club championships straight knock-out. Here in Limerick last seasons junior hurling championship didn't get finished before the country went back into lockdown, now we have 4 teams in limbo not knowing wether their season is null and void or if can they finish last season's championship before the 2021 season starts.

Dont think he's capable of accepting the truth Mick , all he does is whinge and complain and takes to insulting posters and accuses them of having multiple accounts .

All hearsay mick you even said yourself there that it was a secret ballot, and I don't work for you so Its not my job to prove your wild accusations right, that's your job.

And my county board have enough work to be doing without me bothering them about what your friend did or didn't say.

How did the dublin man/friend know the results of a secret ballot?

You can barely manage 1 account so no fear of me accusing you of being a multi.

There'll be some form of back door championship, be that the 8 provinical finalists in a quarter final or the traditional back door system. The GAA from a commerical viewpoint would have been unhappy with last year's All Ireland series, they won't want that again.

Personally the 8 teams who make their final are likely to move into the quarter final with 4 winners playing the 4 beaten finalists.

If you're beaten beforehand your season is over, this way they only have to add one more round. In this situation it wouldn't surprise me to see some kind of seeding system in Munster, with a creative twist to ensure they have the best possible chance of getting Kerry and Cork into the final.

This system would also increase the chances of having genuine competitive All Ireland semi finals. I fully expect the league to also be played, as they've already identified a shorter local version for the season.

You seem to have alot of problems understanding stuff. You even have a problem with reading. Delegates from different counties were given a chance to speak before the vote and put forward their views. The Kerry viewpoint was for Dublin. The results were not secret. Most knew from the discussions what way people were voting and it came to pass that Donegal motion was defeated. Now of course people are "Capable" of teiing lies but by the outcome I would say they were telling the truth.

Replying To tonguey:  "I would think the GAA will play by hook or by crook. I really hope they do play it. It will be very exciting this year- the football could be won by any team really- it is wide open as is the hurling. Great to have such a level playing field in both codes. I like this yes. credit for this must go to ex president Dr Horan."
What ? You are been ironic aren't you ??

Iv no problem with understanding that your passing something that you heard from a friend and saying it's a fact when you have nothing to back it up.

Like I said to you Last week you're probably confusing former gaa president Sean Kelly who probably stood up and spoke about keeping dublin in Croke Park with the kerry County board doing the same but that's what happens when you rely on hearsay to backup a discussion.

After the Uls/Lein Prelim Rd, I'd love to see the 4 'Conf Eights' - played under the C Ring Cup format of 2017 (Rds 1, 2a, 2b, 2 QFs, SFs, F) - with Rd 2b winners rotating to their 2 coastal neighboring Provs/Confs for the QFs (one to each Prov) - 4 Champs to old style AI SFs.
