Replying To greenfan: "Its not a completely open draw. Teams who met in provincial finals can't be paired together. I think its just galway that can't play roscommon." Ye but rossies lost so not a possibility anyway. Lúla571210 (Louth) - Posts: 189 - 31/05/2026 20:23:04 2676864 Link

Replying To Scenicparish: "I thought repeat pairings can'tmeet from provincial finals on?" Get it, open draw this round, next round teams can't meet if they've met in provincial final or first round qualifiers. Getting used to it now and it a fair system.

Replying To greenfan: "Its not a completely open draw. Teams who met in provincial finals can't be paired together. I think its just galway that can't play roscommon." Galway and Roscommon are in different draws on Tuesday. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2709 - 31/05/2026 20:28:30 2676867 Link
Replying To brayballer: "Monaghan were the better team.Only for the Mayo keeper Monaghan could havr scored six goals." Isn't that a keepers job? What did you want him to do? Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2766 - 31/05/2026 20:32:43 2676871 Link
Replying To foreveryoung: "Hope the draw on Tuesday morning throws up: Monaghan v Cavan in Clones Meath v Kildare in Navan Roscommon v Derry in The Hyde Dublin v Kerry in Croker That'd be my ideal draw." Meath's home matches all in Croker. LobinstownMan (Meath) - Posts: 141 - 31/05/2026 20:43:14 2676875 Link
Replying To foreveryoung: "Hope the draw on Tuesday morning throws up: Monaghan v Cavan in Clones Meath v Kildare in Navan Roscommon v Derry in The Hyde Dublin v Kerry in Croker That'd be my ideal draw." There is no Navan at the moment. Meath's game will be in Croke Park. Though if Meath are drawn as the home team against Dublin I'm not sure if they'll be keen on playing them there.

Replying To CastleBravo: "There is no Navan at the moment. Meath's game will be in Croke Park. Though if Meath are drawn as the home team against Dublin I'm not sure if they'll be keen on playing them there." Meath v Kildare in Croker would be a fine curtain raiser to Dublin v Kerry. Bring it on! foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2580 - 31/05/2026 21:29:10 2676885 Link

Replying To Saynothing: "Get it, open draw this round, next round teams can't meet if they've met in provincial final or first round qualifiers. Getting used to it now and it a fair system." Not that fair. The 2 teams teams we bet are guaranteed a place in Round 3 while we could be eliminated in round 2. Seanfan (Roscommon) - Posts: 652 - 31/05/2026 22:30:13 2676896 Link
Replying To CastleBravo: "There is no Navan at the moment. Meath's game will be in Croke Park. Though if Meath are drawn as the home team against Dublin I'm not sure if they'll be keen on playing them there." Nothing to fear in the current Dublin team, why would you not want to beat them there? Expertinall (UK) - Posts: 164 - 31/05/2026 22:35:34 2676898 Link
Replying To Cumann1: "Yea if Mayo didn't have a goalie Monaghan could indeed have scored 6 goals" Bad finishing and decision making cost Monaghan, better teams won't miss them, no matter what the keeper does or doesn't do. Expertinall (UK) - Posts: 164 - 31/05/2026 22:41:31 2676900 Link

Replying To Saynothing: "Isn't that a keepers job? What did you want him to do?" Typical English answer.The point is Monaghan were the better team. brayballer (Wicklow) - Posts: 705 - 01/06/2026 00:08:14 2676912 Link
Replying To Saynothing: "Get it, open draw this round, next round teams can't meet if they've met in provincial final or first round qualifiers. Getting used to it now and it a fair system." Only took you a few months. brayballer (Wicklow) - Posts: 705 - 01/06/2026 00:09:37 2676913 Link
I'd have liked to see Armagh and Westmeath, provincial champions who won in Round 1, kept apart in Round 2A as a reward for winning their provincial championships. No such protection for Kerry and Roscommon though. Tacaí Liatroma (Leitrim) - Posts: 1311 - 01/06/2026 01:16:09 2676918 Link
Replying To foreveryoung: "Meath v Kildare in Croker would be a fine curtain raiser to Dublin v Kerry. Bring it on!" You'd get hard to see dublin as main on menu if Meath v Kildare was there. Kerry would destroy dublin badly I think dickie10 (UK) - Posts: 961 - 01/06/2026 03:29:07 2676921 Link
