What is the All Ireland football semi final draw this year? Stmunnsriver (Wexford) - Posts: 2845 - 16/05/2022 14:20:56 2417727 Link
Won't it also depend on who gets there? I doubt provincial finalists can meet again skirge7 (UK) - Posts: 251 - 20/05/2022 17:39:48 2419053 Link
Leinster v Munster or whoever beats them in last 8 Fkd12 (Louth) - Posts: 149 - 21/05/2022 09:48:25 2419092 Link
Replying To skirge7: "Won't it also depend on who gets there? I doubt provincial finalists can meet again" . No. Roscommon for example could lose to Galway in the Connacht Final, beat Mayo in Q2, beat the Ulster Champs in the ¼ Final and face Galway in the SF . And win that and go on to win the All Ireland. Theoretically. timmyhogan (UK) - Posts: 290 - 21/05/2022 15:49:37 2419194 Link
Or indeed the converse. Galway could lose to Roscommon in the Connacht Final, beat Mayo in Q2, beat the Ulster Champs in the ¼ Final and face the Rossies again in the SF . And win that and go on to win the All Ireland. But now we are getting into the realms of the absurd - to calculate the odds of that happening would in all likelihood require the use of Grahams number. timmyhogan (UK) - Posts: 290 - 21/05/2022 17:02:05 2419210 Link

And win that and go on to win the All Ireland. Theoretically." They'd probably have to beat Kerry or Dublin in the Final. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2170 - 21/05/2022 17:07:02 2419214 Link
Yeah if it was the old-school knockout format you'd be looking at these semi finals: Derry/Donegal vs Galway/Roscommon Dublin/Kildare vs Cork/Limerick But as we know there are qualifiers and quarter finals to take into account first. Doing a bit of predicting here and will likely be proven toatlly wrong but anyway... Qualifiers Round 1 - June 4th/5th Mayo v Monaghan - Mayo Clare v Meath - Meath Armagh v Tyrone - Tyrone Cork v Louth - Louth Qualifiers Round 2 - neutral venue Then each of the 4 beaten provincial finalists will be drawn to play one of the winners from the Qualifier Round 1 above in a neutral venue on the weekend of the 11th/12th of June. No way of knowing how the draw will pan out, but just as an example we could see: Mayo v Derry - Mayo Meath v Limerick - Meath Tyrone v Kildare - Tyrone Louth v Roscommon - Roscommon Quarter Finals - June 25th/26th - neutral venue Dublin v Mayo Donegal v Meath Galway v Tyrone Kerry v Roscommon All hypothetical of course.

Anyone could win the qualifier round 1 pairings. I wouldn't be looking beyond that. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7868 - 25/05/2022 13:13:16 2420150 Link
One things for sure it will all be over way too early, the whole thing feels rushed. Going to be a long time till we have intercounty football again after July. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2756 - 25/05/2022 13:24:42 2420153 Link
Replying To Tirchonaill1: "One things for sure it will all be over way too early, the whole thing feels rushed. Going to be a long time till we have intercounty football again after July." Yeah it's crazy. Darragh O'Sé had a right rant about it in his column in The Irish Times today and I think he's right. Firstly, a Munster final at 3 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon is just daft. Secondly, fixing the Leinster final at the same time as the European Rugby final is even dafter. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9151 - 25/05/2022 14:08:25 2420174 Link

I am looking forward very much to a Donegal v Limerick quarter final ...... johnocarroll17 (Limerick) - Posts: 408 - 25/05/2022 15:51:52 2420200 Link
Replying To johnocarroll17: "I am looking forward very much to a Donegal v Limerick quarter final ......" Now you're talking. I think we should play it in Galway. Make a good weekend of it. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9151 - 25/05/2022 15:59:38 2420205 Link
Replying To Lockjaw: "Now you're talking. I think we should play it in Galway. Make a good weekend of it." Totally agree. And how about taking the other quarter-finals around the country too? For example - Kerry v Galway/Roscommon in Limerick. A fantastic atmosphere guaranteed. And a chance to promote football outside the traditional strongholds. johnocarroll17 (Limerick) - Posts: 408 - 26/05/2022 12:06:55 2420317 Link
I think we can take it the Quarters will be in 2 double headers Croke Pk. No pesky ground rent to be paid and Dublin at home should ensure they make the Semis and an 82k sell out v Kerry. Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 1433 - 26/05/2022 12:48:49 2420328 Link
Replying To Seanfanbocht: "I think we can take it the Quarters will be in 2 double headers Croke Pk. No pesky ground rent to be paid and Dublin at home should ensure they make the Semis and an 82k sell out v Kerry." . Presumably - back to the backdoor Quarters setup in the pre Super 8's era. At the moment it just says CCCC to decide. They are certainly all on same weekend. We might get a repeat of 2017 - Mayo v Roscommon. Wouldn't that be grand! timmyhogan (UK) - Posts: 290 - 26/05/2022 14:58:40 2420367 Link

Replying To The_Fridge: "Is Q2 in a neutral venue? Confirmed?" I downloaded the master fixture list for 2022 from the GAA website. All-Ireland Series Quarter-Finals 25-26.06.2022 (Sat/Sun) (Four Games) Each of the four Provincial Final Winners shall play against one of the four Winners of Round 2. Draw is Subject to Provincial Final Winners avoiding defeated finalists from their own Province in this Round and to the avoidance of repeat pairings where possible. Venues for Quarter-Finals shall be determined by the Central Competitions Control Committee. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9151 - 26/05/2022 16:05:08 2420391 Link

If it means club players aren't playing county finals in November I'm all for it. Depends which side of the fence you fall on I suppose. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 806 - 26/05/2022 17:59:29 2420403 Link
