Replying To Carlowtothecore1: "100% but it's now lost all credibility." Agree. Absolute joke. Kyle will be embarrassed I'm sure also.

Replying To Carlowbushultra2021: "Senior
Eire og by a landslide
Rathvilly by 1/2 (could go either way but rathvilly probably just have a small bit to much)
Inter
Tinryland by 4
Balloon by 4 Tullow always crumble when it comes to the big moments if balloon can get Duffy and co firing they'll be hard stopped
Junior A
Blues to beat myshal but will be a dog fight
Pal to just about beat leiglinbridge" Is Pa kavanagh not an Eire og player?

Rathvilly v Pal - Rathvilly by 5. Conor Doyle and Kevin Murphy to see Rathvilly over the line.
Tinyrland and Ballon to ease through into a final.

That senior game was a great spectacle.
Rathvilly Just about deserved to edge it, Kevin Murphy is a serious serious footballer.

Two interesting interesting senior semi finals! I thought Rathvilly were probably the better team in their semi but Pal must be really disappointed with their performance. Their worst performance of the year and their only defeat. Rathvilly are a very seasoned, composed side. Talent all over the field and leadership all over the pitch.
The other semi was another mad game. Old L must be wondering how they have made it to another final after THREE defeats already this season in the group. EO never got going, and must be very disappointed to go out with a whimper.
I think it opens the questions to the new structures of the championship. Far too many games in the group. How can Old L still be even in the championship after three defeats? What will the EO management say now? They were praising the structure after their draw with Pal. I think five games is too many, we don't have 8 senior clubs imo, and with five games it guarantees the bigger clubs passage into the knockout rounds. Whereas before, one defeat and you were under pressure and two meant you were pretty much gone. Not sure what other people's thoughts are on it. Not taking anything away from Old L, I think they've been excellent in the knockouts rounds, today and the last day. But I just think there was a lot of poor & unnecessary football in the group. Which does impact dual clubs also.

Eire og look like their day has run for a small while, could only listen on kclr but when Quinlan is openly saying they brought in too many older players and haven't blooded youth players you know it's a bad sign. Gannon and benny kavanagh seemed like mad decisions and clutching at straws.
Have never been a big fan of the new structure from the off, it's good for the likes of myself in junior b and c because it keeps us kicking ball and really the gulf in teams isn't a big deal. For senior, inter and junior A, there is no jeopardy for the teams that are ahead of the pack and allow for an off day. That lack of threat leads to complacency and dead rubber games. No other county championship has 6/7 games like Carlow in simpler formats

Looks like 3 games last year was too few while 6 this year is too many. Heard they've got a new proposal ready that caps Ito at 5 next year.
Big victory for genuine gaa duel players today
