Replying To Analyst:  "Crazy decision, even if you are a so called weaker team at least you have an even structure across groups, take the Bracks. Got a very tough draw in the last two years. If done we would see
Pot 1 Dunshaughlin, Dunboyne, Skryne, Tones
Pot 2 Ratoath, Simonstown, Summerhill, Cilles
Pot 3 Kells, Don Ash, Na Fianna, Trim
Pot 4 Bracks, Meath hill, Seneschalstown. Rathkenny"
I'm sick and tired off listening to people saying the bracks have been stitched up with draws in recent years. Yes they've had tough groups but in relegation this year they couldn't beat kells or rathkenny. What makes people think they'd get out of any other group?

It's similar to how "unfair" our relegation system supposedly is. We're told that the 8 team playoff system results in good teams getting relegated but if anything it's the opposite.

In order to get relegated a team has to lose at least 4 games out of 6. This includes 3 successive relegation playoffs in which your opponent in each round gets weaker and weaker.

The team which gets relegated will have gone into 3 or 4 games knowing that a single win will guarantee survival, but they failed on every occasion. That team is clearly the most suitable team to relegate.
