There's a long way to go yet and I'm sure both counties will have an improvement in results. This morning though as Cork and Down occupy the relegation places of Division 2, the 2010 All-Ireland finalists could be the inaugural Tailteann Cup finalists. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7844 - 28/02/2022 11:36:34 2402911 Link 0 |
You're giving cork a great compliment to think they'd even make it to the tailteann cup final haha

You could have Cavan and 2 of Cork/Meath/Down/Offaly taking 3 of the 4 Semi Final berths. Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 1419 - 28/02/2022 14:39:35 2402996 Link 1 |
Better chance of picking the lottery numbers than the Tailteann Cup finalists.. Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3347 - 28/02/2022 17:10:17 2403055 Link 4 |
Tbh with the form they will be bringing into it if they do end up getting relegated I'd be very surprised if either make the final at all.

would love to see the 2 Meaths join together, they could dominate Tailteann maroondiesel (Mayo) - Posts: 1196 - 28/02/2022 21:02:05 2403127 Link 2 |
I think that's a bit presumptuous given how both are playing currently.... Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9136 - 01/03/2022 09:19:16 2403142 Link 1 |

I'd imagine you are right. Questions how much the GPA are connected to the players!

I think the league connection should be scrapped. Just dump the bottom 16 (Tailteann Cup) in intermediate. That'll force everyone to take it dead seriously. Why one rule for clubs and another for counties? skirge7 (UK) - Posts: 248 - 07/03/2022 12:33:01 2404227 Link 1 |
The Tailtean cup like all previous B competitions will have no buy in from anyone involved and will receive next to zero promotion or media coverage yet in their wisdom the GAA have added a group stage next season. The only way a competition like this will work is If teams begin the championship in the 2nd tier and the Tailtean winner gets a route back into the championship like what happens with the Mc Donagh cup in Hurling.

It was voted in by the Congress delegates, many of whom were representing the Counties who will be playing in it. If they won't "buy in" why did they vote for it or why did they not campaign against it? Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 1419 - 07/03/2022 17:55:12 2404343 Link 0 |
If a team has failed to make the Top 16, one would think they would try and win the Tailteann Cup to ensure Top 16 football in the next year.

It's not the way to go. What is the point is replicating the League and having two tiers which will get little attention. Don't turn football into hurling.

Be some craic if Limerick play in the Sam Maguire and Cork in the Tailteann. M Lyster (Antrim) - Posts: 461 - 07/03/2022 18:50:29 2404353 Link 0 |
I think most people in weaker counties are voting for any sort of change, no matter how weak it is. B championships can only work if teams are placed into it at the end of the league and it's not a competition teams aim to avoid. Instead you have a farcical system in which the provincial system is still in place when it's gone beyond it's sell by date. Teams that are in division 3 and 4 can get a nice trimming from a division 1 side in their province before partaking in the Tailtean cup. There will be no promotion or coverage of the competition and like the Tommy Murphy Cup, it will be shelved in a few years.
