Why what's the exception when you know Quarter Final's are held at HQ?

Something to do with Joe Biden I suspect

Why? Emmmm maybe because it's home field ADVANTAGE for the Dubs. Very simple. I'm fine with the other matches and fine with the AI Final and Semi Finals being in Croke Park.

All Q finals are in Croke Park Tyrone will have to be 4-5 points better than Dublin to win."
But ( according to Dublin folk) croker isn't their home ground.......so there's no advantage to the Dubs by playing there.

As Jim says its us against the rest. They are trying to get rid of us early, before the semi finals.

People will give out about absolutely everything give it a rest; Quarter finals are always double headers in Croke Park and are great days out. Must be exhausting having to constantly find something else to moan about

They could drop out and let the team they bet go through instead if it's that bigca problem!

As Joyce said yesterday when asked about a short turnaround after a tough game against Down and 3 weekends on the spin, it'd be a lot worse if you were sitting at home with no game to play for the rest of the summer.

Dublin's two best championship performances this year irrespective of the opposition have been in Pairc Esler and Pearse Stadium. Two of their poorest performances have been in Croker, 18 wides and 3 technical breaches v Armagh and again on Saturday, a very flat performance v Cork. Personally as a Dub this game against Tyrone being in Croke Park doesn't make me any less or more confident.
Ironically Tyrone's best performance was away to Donegal and their worst was at home to Mayo!
Incidentally why do you reckon it's OK for the Dubs to play a semi in Croker but not a quarter?
