Replying To brianb: "I'm not sure how Croke Park came into anyone's mind for the Clare V Roscommon game. Madness. How its not in Galway is beyond me. A packed out Tullamore with the Kildare Mayo minors playing before again would make a lot of sense. This double header is another crazy decision." There's a concert in salthill apparently. skirge7 (UK) - Posts: 254 - 08/06/2022 09:51:54 2423265 Link
It's clear the GAA are trying to take advantage of the huge Mayo support and that's why they put it in Croke park…. Clare vRoscommon was put in as a make weight and they don't care if supporters aren't there for that… While been great supporters this is a game where Mayo fans should vote with their feet and stay away…. the only way to wake the GAA up is to hit them in the pocket… It's a bit like Man U fans continually giving out about the owners but still packing the ground every home game…madness.. The GAA ( and Glazers ) just have a big laugh at these people digging deep in their pockets…. Time to make a stand….!!! ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 3845 - 08/06/2022 10:11:04 2423274 Link
Replying To yew_tree: "This weekend will backfire on the GAA. Bringing Mayo fans for a 6pm throw in on a Saturday evening….I'm sure Clare and the Rossies are wondering the same. We also have our minors playing Kildare in Tullamore the next day in an all Ireland quarter final…why not make it a double header of Mayo v Kildare? You couldn't make it up. We have a round of club league fixtures too in Mayo on Sunday so good luck. With the cost of fuel and accommodation I predict the smallest Mayo crowd in Croke Park in a good few years…probably v Cork in 2011." I think It's a map of Ireland the GAA needs.

Mayo and Roscommon are the reason both games are in Croke Park. I'd be in favour of provincial grounds myself but it is understandable that the GAA want to showcase these games in Croke Park.

Isint it leinster v muster and Connaght v Ulster in the all ireland semi finals. Does that mean that if Armagh beat Donegal their next match would be the winners of the Roscommon match? border Gael (Monaghan) - Posts: 910 - 08/06/2022 12:45:24 2423319 Link

Replying To border Gael: "Isint it leinster v muster and Connaght v Ulster in the all ireland semi finals.

Semi Finals will be 1. Galway ( or the team that beats them) v Derry ( or the team that beats them. 2. Dublin ( or the team that beats them) v Kerry ( or the team that beats them. Quarter Final is a pseudo open draw Derry, Galway, Kerry , Dublin in one bucket versus Winners of this weekend games in the other bucket. Repeat fixtures will be avoided ( the actual wording is that provincial final repeats will be avoided and other repeats will be avoided where possible ...but I think its possible to avoid all repeats) i.e. Galway cant play Roscommon or Mayo Derry cant play Donegal Dublin cant play Kildare Kerry cant play Limerick or Cork anotheralias (Galway) - Posts: 982 - 08/06/2022 15:18:51 2423385 Link
Can I ask those from Roscommon and mayo,if going to croke park on Saturday,how much will it cost for a husband&wife plus2 children?taking into account how much to fill tank of diesel or petrol and tolls on the roads aswell.with mayo playing at 6 0 clock,what time will people make it back home that night?the only saving race I can see is the matches aren't on Sunday..

Based on the predictions competition thread at least, Roscommon, Mayo, Cork and Armagh will be taking the quarter final berths alongside the provincial winners. Bowl 1: Galway Derry Dublin Kerry Bowl 2: Roscommon Mayo Cork Armagh Am I right in saying that in this particular scenario the following crieria would apply in regards to the draw? - Galway can only play Derry or Armagh given that they've played Mayo & Roscommon already. - Derry can be drawn to play any team in Bowl 2. - Dublin can be drawn to play any team in Bowl 2. - Kerry would play Roscommon, Mayo or Armagh Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9762 - 08/06/2022 15:56:24 2423403 Link

They could get into trouble if they go ahead with the draw with all teams in the bowl and later find out that the teams left cannot play each other. If the criteria is as you have stated, should they start with Galway, and just have Derry and Armagh in the second bowl. When that match is drawn, return whatever team was not picked (Derry or Armagh) back into the second bowl and continue with drawing the rest of the three matches. Hopefully there will not be any problems on Monday. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 730 - 08/06/2022 16:31:02 2423420 Link

How they will manage the draw remains to be seen! It's not beyond the abilities of the GAA. Don't think it really alters the odds given the actual lineup. Mayo for example had 2 chances in 3 of meeting Kerry or Dublin once Galway won Connacht and that hasn't changed. Same for Ros. Same for Donegal - if they win they can't play Derry. Winning your province was important this year boys and girls. And yet something tells me (wishful thinking perhaps) that if Mayo make it they will get Derry in the QF! Or maybe it's all above board. timmyhogan (UK) - Posts: 290 - 08/06/2022 17:03:58 2423433 Link
I believe Galway have to get Limerick/Cork? Kerry would get Donegal/Armagh or Mayo/Kildare? The draw would be compromised by previous meetings suckvalleypaddy (Galway) - Posts: 1736 - 09/06/2022 11:13:59 2423544 Link
