Cavan aren't really a division 4 team though, they've had a nightmare in the league the last couple of years but they're well above Div 4 standard. I'd say they'd beat half the teams in Division 2 this year, certainly Down, Cork & Offaly anyway, I'd have them favourites over Clare or Meath and they wouldn't be out of place against Derry or Roscommon either.

Wrong. The players wanted more meaningful games in the summer. There will be minimal breaks so this new format will just lead to injuries and burnout. Why do you insist on always defending the GAA?

You tend to be quite negative about the GAA.

The players wanted to flip the league and provincial championships The provincial councils, the strong counties with a shorter route to Croke Park (Mayo, Kerry, Galway) and Ulster counties wanted what we ended up with. Even Fermanagh wouldn't vote to for meaningful matches in the summer for themselves - they voted for the status quo - even though they have zero Ulster titles FFS. Next year wont be better either, you'll still have 6 weeks of dross between the end of the league and the championship round robin. 2 useless provincial championships 1 middling one if the draw suits 1 where the football is bad but the results are close On the topic of Munster football Let's face it, in order to get anyone in a hurling county to play football at all, you have to play a bit of open football and try to make it enjoyable. If Limerick, Cork, Clare and Tipp set up with a double sweeper in every match they could probably push Kerry closer but any lad who was half decent at hurling wouldn't bother his **** with football if he knew it was going to be 15 men behind the ball and hit on the break stuff. The reality in Ulster is that if all the counties there came out and played some football, only Tyrone, Donegal and Armagh would make a fist of it against Dublin. The rest would get hammered. tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1197 - 15/06/2022 20:44:50 2425251 Link 0 |
Clare isn't really a hurling county. It's a half an half county, people saying stuff like Clare doing great considering all the potential players that they have lost to football the reality that there is probably only one player in the hurling panel that would start for the footballers and that would be Shane Meehan. Conor Cleary and Aaron Fitzgerald who previously played football would also be close to making the team. The rest of hurlers are either hurlers only or either not inter county football standard. The thing is that there is just as many football only clubs in Clare as there is hurling only clubs. CartaDubh (Clare) - Posts: 57 - 17/06/2022 14:04:19 2425634 Link 0 |
This is true in Munster. In Tipperary the football is very open and fast moving but maybe naive

After all the money invested in Dublin and the debt around Páirc Uí Chaoimh, it's the Sunday quarter-finals that seem set to be a sellout. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8385 - 23/06/2022 10:23:20 2426988 Link 0 |
Yeah....fair play to kerry for mobilizing their support so early this year.

The only supporters that will be there in numbers for sure are Armagh, Mayo and Dublin. Derry might bring a crowd given the (rightful) confidence behind them and the long gap between their last serious appearance. Kerry might travel if enough have realised by now that a quarter final or semi is a realistic end of year game. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3226 - 23/06/2022 13:51:25 2427050 Link 0 |
Expected Derry to win but i thought it would be a 5 to 7 point win than this stroll. Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3504 - 25/06/2022 17:02:56 2427424 Link 0 |
The only way to beat Derry is do what Donegal did. Ronan1989 (Donegal) - Posts: 81 - 25/06/2022 17:15:29 2427426 Link 1 |
Dublin found out how to beat Donegal. And if they have their main player's fit, I can't see Derry troubling them.

You'd better get down to the bookies so and put the mortgage on Derry.

Derry run riot win by double scores I think? how bad were the Rossies when Clare beat them? Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 3057 - 25/06/2022 18:37:31 2427448 Link 0 |
Donegal lost the Ulster Final to Derry so copying what Donegal did isn't great advice. Derry beat a poor Clare team today but looked very good doing it.
