Jaysis wept. The draw in the west is a joke, another final for Galway, Id love to beat london and sligo at a chance of silverware or wicklow or louth. Thank christ for ulster (usually) but Armagh were given another final next year ffs. Whestofthewest (Clare) - Posts: 177 - 27/10/2023 12:38:32 2510615 Link 1 |

There are three Div 1 teams in Connacht. The rest are Div 3 and Div 4. One of the Div 1 teams is going to get to a Connacht Final without playing another, unless all three are drawn on the same side as happened last year. A few years ago we were on the same side of the draw as Mayo for three years running. The same was the case in 2022. For 2024 we're on the other side. At least the winners of Connacht have had to beat at least one Division 1 team for the past number of years. The same hasn't been the case for the Leinster winners. You seen to be blaming the draw, but there's an issue no matter which way it's drawn. How would you seed it to avoid the issue?

I remember playing clare in division 4 not that long ago. We were beating ye by 7 points when a Leitrim player got a terrible injury and the game was held up for a long time. We completely lost out shape and momentum and Clare won in the end and got promoted. Fair play to them, and ye have kicked on since them days. You meant to say - you'd love to be able to beat London, Sligo or LEITRIM! We are in there too. People forget that Connacht have three division 1 teams, it's extremely hard to win, no matter what side of the draw you are on. You will more than likely have to either face one and/or beat another division 1 team to win it. Munster have only one division 1 team, Leinster had none this year. Ennis has the equivalent of 80% of our entire population- try competing with the big three in Connacht against those odds and you'll see the handicap we are at!! leitrim4sam (Leitrim) - Posts: 672 - 27/10/2023 17:37:07 2510678 Link 0 |

We've 3 division 1 teams. This is going to happen. Galway got hard draws for years. Perhaps Munster football outside of Kerry needs to get its act together before criticising the rest of us!
