Too many clubs in Senior Championship. Needs a shakeup. 16 should be reduced to 12.
It means top of Intermediate is way below that of other counties.
Monaghan, while a smaller population, has 10 Senior clubs so Intermediate champions are around 11th best. In Donegal it's around 17th best.
12 clubs in Senior, 2 groups of 6, seeded based on League (makes League more important), 5 games, top two in each into semis.
Same in Intermediate & Junior and maybe look at a second Junior level to include top reserve teams with bottom Junior clubs.

Replying To Collio: "2 v 1 'twice as many', stop trying to make things look better than they are. Simple fact is club hurling is not as strong as you people try to make it out to be." Club provinvial hurling is generally closer to intercounty standard than club provincial Football. Most of the teams that make provincial club hurling championships have a higher percentage of intercounty players than most of the clubs who make intercounty football championships.
Check it out for yourself.

Shamrock Gaels were unable to match the physically stronger Galway team. I was surprised at how heavy the pitch was. Football in November suits stronger and more physical teams. The Kelly's had big games for Moycullen.

Replying To Viking66: "2018 they lost by 6 to a good Coolderry team.
2019 St Mullins beat Cuala from Dublin and Rathdowney from Laois.
2021 MLR lost by 6 to Ballyhale, who narrowly lost the AI final.
2022 St Mullins beat our county champions
2023 MLR lost to OLG, who lost the AI final by just 1 point.
2024 St Mullins lost to KK from Offaly.
That's all pretty good when you consider the long lay off your county champions have.
Since Hanrahans won their last title in 2000 you have reached twice as many Hurling Leinster finals as Football ones." Viking, sadly there are some people in Carlow who seem to loathe hurling. It's impossible to understand the logic. But it's always been like this.
Those of us from the south of the county have long been fully aware of it.

Replying To FearCeatharlach: "Both lost first round. Point proven" I honestly can't believe you could post that. The last couple of weeks have been nothing short of embarrassing for Carlow football.
The senior champions were never in the game against a Portarlington side missing half their best players. The intermediate winners went out and got beaten by twenty-nine points. That's not bad luck.
Meanwhile, the hurling teams are punching miles above that level. The IHC winners beat a good Westmeath outfit and only went down to a very strong Commercials side and all after not playing a competitive game since August. And in senior, Mount Leinster went toe-to-toe with a Naas team who could win Leinster outright, and probably would have beaten them if Chris Nolan hadn't been sent off. Again: no matches since August.
Carlow hurling is clearly operating at a far higher level than Carlow football. Anyone pretending otherwise is deluding themselves.

Can we stop with the whining from both sides please?

Replying To Doylerwex: "This conversation has taken a turn. That depends on whether or not you believe Mary was born with original sin which is the essence of my point.
We are all sinners.
I don't agree with the second part. How many people do you know that don't do bad stuff?
Try as I might I'm committing at least one of the 7 deadly sins every week." Sin was a religious concept to leave you perpetually with guilt and obeying the church is conveniently your only way of ridding yourself of the sin. Hey lads not sure ye realise but ye are all sinners, and you will never get into heaven without ridding yourself of the terrible sin you are all born with...how do we do that Patrick....oh the only way is joining my church and doing everything I tell you. If a salesman came to your door trying to pull that stunt you'd rightly call them a scam artist.

Whole heartedly agree, been very poor at Senior level since Gweedore won it. Junior we tend to do ok when the Junior team is playing division 2 league football. Muff last season got to the All Ireland Junior Final. Overall we do need to change the structures of the championship. League football has become a non event, make it so division 1 = Senior Championship, Division 2 = Intermediate and division 3 = Junior it would make leagues more competitive. Also I think running off the championships so soon might have led the teams to being undercooked, nearly a 4 week break for most teams since their county finals.

Replying To IronSleeve: "Like a lot of problems, the solution is money. Carrot and stick. Increase the referee fee for each game significantly. This is paid for by fining clubs heavily who don't put forward refs. Quotas for each club e.g. one team in championship football a club has to have one ref available. Three teams three refs." Fining clubs for misbehaving coaches/supporters would prove lucrative. Less abuse, more refs. I'm no shrinking violet but the behaviour of coaches/supporters is getting harder and harder to listen to. If it happened on the street they'd end up in court. Apparently normal functioning members of our own communities lose all sanity once they enter a ground.
Doubling up on matches would also solve a number of issues. Ref an underage match (25 mins a side) and a youth or adult one after. Have seen it done. Same venue. Less cost for the ref, twice the money. Gets rid of the backlog at underage as well.

Replying To Doylerwex: "I agree with that. The only good person ever was crucified." Is it not true to say Mary was equally as good a person when they were both on earth, also not doing bad stuff is another way of doing good.
