Replying To Seanfan: "All history over 100 years ago." It's a case of " I'm all right Jack" for some.

Cork Chairman Pitches New AI SHC Revamp - 2 Like(s)
When did the hurling championship stop working? Why does it need a revamp?
It was changed to allow a team to stay in the Leinster championship rather than yoyo up and down. Its happening now with 6 teams - so the call is to include a 7th. It would also happen with 7 teams - do we then go to 8?
Leave the structure alone - the problem with it at the moment is the lobsided nature of the championship with Munster presently being stronger. Hopefully Henry Shefflin will get a tune out of Kilkenny again and if Derek McGrath brings a bit more out of Wexford the championship format will be right again.
The only change I'd make would be not to rush it through - allow a couple more weeks after the league to start the provincials and maybe take another bye week in the provincials themselves.

Come on now lads. Give them the championship the Munster counties want.
Keep current format for both Leinster and Munster but instead have 5 qualify out of Munster and 3 from Leinster.
2 primarily quarter finals - 4th place team in Munster plays 3rd place team in Leinster and 5th place team in Munster plays runner up in Leinster. These games have to be fixed for Thurlus... its important that Munster counties get the advantage here.
2 Quarter finals - winners of the primarily quarter finals will play 3rd and 2nd in Munster - Again these games have to be fixed for Thurles.
Semi finals Croke Park - Leinster winner v Quarter final 1 winner
Semi finals Croke Park- Munster winner v Quarter final 2 winner
Final Croke Park Winner of Semi final 1 v Winner of Semi final 2 *
*If Cork qualify for the All Ireland final they get home advantage
This should keep the Munster lads happy.

Replying To 2maroonjerseys: "Well for starters leaving Jason Rabbitte isolated against the Limerick full backline was a disaster. You can't leave a team with the quality of limericks backs licence to roam with no one marking them. Dereck Mcgarth got Waterford to the 17 final with the vaunted sweeper system after that final twas dead in the water. MD can forget about this system next yr limerick had us sliced and diced after twenty minutes. It was only a matter of how much Limerick would win by after that." You got over run in the middle 3rd despite having extra men there. How would you have got on with 2 men less there?

How does the management team look at that play out and make a first sub on 50 minutes? No plan B whatsoever, cian lynch could have been given MOTM at HT. No long puckout option, repeating the same short puckout routine over and over and getting turned over. Why is cyril donnellan the goalie coach again this year? he was an outfield player. The game was over but Tom Mon clips his second point and immediately subbed which will impact his all star chances, that was strange. It isn't fair on galway players or supporters to go out with those tactics, make zero changes and then talk about the 3 or 4 more young lads that are ready to make the step up next year, self preservation!

Would suit Cork better if their chairman would make necessary changes within their county to try win an All ireland instead of worrying about championship structures.

Replying To DuhallowRed: "I dont think a 7 team leinster would go down well playing two extra games then their munster counterparts" Yeah, that crossed my mind too.
For a 4-game, 7-team Lein - one way could be to split the 'seeded' prov into a trio, pair & pair - with the trio playing both pairs, and each pair playing each other. Maybe messy, but it works.

Replying To jam83: "I think.Anthony Cunningham could be a good manager. But would need a good backroom of modern coaches and a shrewd tactician as well. A Paul Kinnerk type." Anthony's days of managing are behind him, He would have stayed on with St Brigids this year if he was able to commit.
If Joyce does go will Graham, Galligan and Lynda Duffy go with him?

Replying To manfromthewest: "I will never understand why Coolera v Drumcliff is not in Kent Park local derby, John Mc v Aido. It is the only place it should have been the only venue considered as floodlights not a consideration at this stage of the year. Despite eoinog saying it isn't being made available, I attended the Div 3 final there on Friday last and I see it is down for games in rounds 1 and 2. Molaise on the other hand is not being made available nor has it ever been. Calry and Ransboro not suitable venues and Oxfield limited with parking and accessibility issues as a community ground.
Give the CCC a break for now, while they were slow issuing times and venues for the first 2 rounds, there is a lot to manage with a lot of clubs having 2 if not 3 teams so avoiding clashes with hosting games on top of everything else is not easy." Not many clubs have 1 right team ,and most that put in second teams like the league will be w/o

All that was left was for him to suggest two relegations from the 7-team Leinster and the Joe McDonagh finalists both get promoted.
