There's a few lads here that can't seem to grasp that we have only one Division 1, and the only reason there was a North and South was for logistical reasons. AfricanGael (UK) - Posts: 1947 - 01/06/2021 09:45:04 2347284 Link 1 |
Majority would seem to be happy had the top team in North group played the top team in the South group for the league title in all four divisions. It would have added extra spice to the Kerry v Dublin match in Thurles knowing that the winner would probably qualify for the final. Relegation semi finals make even less sense. How will Armagh having lost just one game feel having to play a survival contest against a team that lost all three matches. On the other hand it does I suppose give extra match practice to counties with a longer lead up to the championship. Curlew66 (Roscommon) - Posts: 506 - 01/06/2021 15:04:22 2347418 Link 0 |
I know what you mean but sure what has North and South got to do with anything ? They are all Division 1 teams, surely the two teams who accumulate the most points are more deserving of a spot in the final, you could still end up with a North v South but always reward the teams with the most points, otherwise it would be an even a bigger joke than what it already is.

100%...of course there should be league finals..its the only trophy 4 of the 8 participants in each division can/might win...this obsession with the championship, and realistically only 4 teams can win it..let the lesser teams try and win a cup and trophy...

Time for AllIanz to consider their sponsorship of the leagues. Greengrass (Louth) - Posts: 6031 - 01/06/2021 22:36:22 2347557 Link 0 |
Can't see why the GAA couldn't have found a spare weekend during the championship season or play off the finals a few weeks after the All-ireland final. After all, this year's inter-county season only runs from May-August. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 02/06/2021 10:39:22 2347613 Link 1 |
Time for you in Louth to start winning. And less of the negativity.

Like next weekend. Another weekend of games where every team could play meaningful games that'll be good preparation close to championship. Then play the finals the following weekend just before some start the championship. Will be plenty of weekends where teams progress in the championship that they'll be looking for challenge games, or playing A v B gamed , that won't be a proper test ahead of their next game.

You could then have a team playing 4 weeks in a row, not ideal either.

Kerry and Dublin both winning today in league semi finals which should lead to a mouth watering final next week but the GAA falling over itself to be the most covid compliant group in the world ! OpenStand (Limerick) - Posts: 672 - 12/06/2021 21:06:13 2349963 Link 6 |
Absolutely a very stupid mistake, a mouth watering Dublin v Kerry league final which is most likely going to be the pairing in the All Ireland final too, I can't get my head around how stupid you would have to be to let this situation unfold, mind boggling.

It is a bit farcical, but to be fair too nobody remembers who wins the league, I can't imagine any of the teams in the shakeup will be too bothered though with championship a few weeks away.

Unless Dublin and Tyrone won.

Damn shame alright but the game would be far too close to championship for them to go hell for leather at each other so may have been a disappointing affair, guess we'll never know. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8592 - 12/06/2021 21:43:46 2349984 Link 1 |
Why not have joint winners. It is a nice amateur thing to do. It is not appropiate for Professional sport though. I agree though that a Dubs V Kerry final would be great. These are not normal times. And the Govt decision to ban the GAA is the real reason we have no final. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2519 - 12/06/2021 21:58:03 2349993 Link 1 |

Now Derry v Offaly final will go ahead, the GAA are an out and out laughing stock to be avoided by any young lad or lass with brains. AfricanGael (UK) - Posts: 1947 - 14/06/2021 18:36:11 2350900 Link 0 |
You don't remember when it's not your county, but when it is and you're from a county that doesn't have a winning tradition or a fighting chance in the provincial championship, it's something else entirely. I'm 24 and have no living memory of Kildare winning anything. Of course Mayo would be favourites, but this is a great crack at silverware denied to us.

Louth won three out of four matches in the league. It should of been four out of four but wee gained promotion which was the main aim. Not bad for a team that has to start winning.
