Replying To macca999:  "If parnell Park hadn't been vandalised I'd say it would have been used.

Hope not portlaoise, tullamore or mullingar be more halfway"
Parnell Park would've been grand ok. Mullingar is nearly twice as far from me than it is from Enniskillen so I hope it's not there! It's a 400km round trip!

Replying To Overthebar53:  "Very fair yellaman. Heard wexford manager on radio. Giving out about the pitch.Bit unfair I thought."
I didn't hear John's interview, was he complaining about it being hard & bumpy??
I spoke to one of the (Wexford) players after the game, he tought the pitch was awful, "very uneven" were his words.

According to this website Parnell park is hosting Dublin v Galway next week so would be available for wexford Fermanagh on the 31st. Could it be a double header with Dublin Armagh in croker on Sunday the first.

Even if Fermanagh loses they would go through and given the way Longford are playing even if we win the score difference may not be enough to see us top the group. Still all to play for. Coming second would give us home advantage which could be very important as the most likely second placed teams Limerick/Sligo would be a pain. So we would hope it would be NY or Wicklow but a few twists to happen yet. At this point Westmeath and Kildare are the favorites and if we had a fully fit team out there wouldn't be much between the rest and us.

Was out on the pitch at halftime and full time, the surface was smooth but wavy if you get me. Like smooth ripples and humps in it. Good job I'm too fat to run flat out, as it would've been a terrible surface for that!
Was the same surface for both teams though. Carlow were much improved, think a draw was a fair result tbh. Would be nice to get something out of the last game, as it would improve our seeding. If we win we get a bye to a home QF.

That one was a penalty though. Bit naive defensively, the lad should've been brought down earlier.

Meant to say if our points difference is better than Carlows should they also beat Longford.

A double-header with Dublin v Armagh it is. Good call! :)

A good win there and finishing top of the group would be a huge boost - home advantage in a quarter-final, instead of having to play a preliminary quarter-final, and maybe even having to go away for it.

But I've an awful feeling that penalty v Carlow will come back to haunt us.

Will be a great double header that, really looking forward to it.

I'd expect Carlow to beat longford comfortably, so it'll take a massive performance from the lads to win the group on score difference.
Dubs / Armagh should bring a big crowd so tickets might be in short supply .

Am I alone in looking at what other counties have achieved with few resources than ours in Football and think that if we really put an effort into game that we could achieve just as much if not more. When looking to compete with Rugby and Soccer, it's Football that makes the difference not hurling. Despite a lot of hurling only lads trying to blame football for the lack of success, it's simply not true and I would say the reality is the opposite.
With the new rules excitement has come back into the game, the game itself was killing weaker counties. It will be great to see the new rules in the championship and what difference it makes to the game and support for it. Making the game enjoyable again to play will help players to push themselves further than before.
If everyone is complaining about the standard of coaching in Hurling, well then it's brutal in football as in a lot of clubs it's the same lads doing it. Tom get anywhere that would need to change.

Short supply? Are you expecting an 82k sell out?

Absolutely not, but the choice of ticket on ticketmaster.ie is already limited.

Where have all the good tickets gone? Rather be on the hill with the Dubs than in those stabd tickets
