Jeasus you are a martyr to the cause…. Big wigs in their suits sipping g&t's love a guy like you running around the country paying in to see rubbish… You must have nothing at all to be at… keep it up, once your happy at it.. you will soon cop on to yourself…and steak dinners around Monaghan must be a woeful price …!

Between the provincial championship and the double elimination All-Ireland series, counties will be guaranteed at least 3 games. Strike 3 and they are out. I don't think there can be any complaints. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8161 - 14/06/2024 12:43:18 2551407 Link 0 |
3 games spread over possibly 3 months. As compared to 7 League games plated in 9 weeks in Feb/March. No matter what system, you need more games in April, May, June Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 1795 - 14/06/2024 16:38:49 2551468 Link 1 |
Open Draw up to Rd 3 might provide interesting ties in each round. Perhaps, to offset, for the QFs & SFs, the team who had the toughest draw up to Rd 3 could be paired with the team who had it easiest; 2nd toughest v 2nd easiest etc.

Toughest based on what criteria? You love your nonsensical proposals. Don't you? KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3624 - 14/06/2024 21:29:03 2551504 Link 1 |
You do need more games in April, May and June if possible. Hurling has plenty of games in April and May at least. There appears to be no appetite to move away from provincial knockout in football.

Between omahant and the halfwit from Cavan we will end up with a one game championship. It will be between the team who had the toughest game in 1947 and and the team who had the most jeopardy in 1899. No wonder they don't have time to get to games. It takes a lot of time and lot of stupidity to come up with their formulas.The players have spoken and persuaded the powers that be to come up with a championship that gives us lots of good competitive games and leaves time for the most important part of our association, the clubs to have their championship run off in an orderly fashion, allowing players to plan their other activities in advance. No matter what system we have we will always have spoiled children throwing the toys out of the bath.

The double elimination format could be the end of the format changes discussion. Time for a settled structure like the hurling have and get on with the game. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8161 - 15/06/2024 09:46:04 2551549 Link 0 |
We have the structure. Now let it settle.

You are the only person who thinks the current set up is working …. You are in a minority of one..!

They are going the wrong direction in terms of number of games. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4326 - 15/06/2024 14:38:31 2551608 Link 1 |

You're probably right doesn't make for a good season though.

Successful tournaments typically start with a slate of league/group games leading to a short KO phase to determine the Champion - examples are various - omahant (USA) - Posts: 2810 - 15/06/2024 15:57:47 2551623 Link 1 |
A tiered provincial group stage could be brought in for football. Supposedly it is one of six formats under consideration but not endorsed by the CCC.

Where are you getting this information from?

"The four other suggestions are listed but not endorsed by the CCCC - the introduction of a third tier All-Ireland SFC for Division 3 and 4 teams, a return to knock-out Sam Maguire and Tailteann Cup games post-provincial, operating the provincial championships on a tiered basis as per the Sam Maguire and Tailteann Cup and starting the inter-county season with the provincial championships followed by the Allianz Leagues and then a round-robin All-Ireland." The Examiner reported on this during the week. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8161 - 15/06/2024 17:48:16 2551651 Link 0 |

I saw that story. Why's a Kerryman reading the "Cork" Examiner? - still very Cork focused despite the change to a national "Irish" newspaper :) I'm a subscriber and really enjoy the weekly "Gaelic Football" podcast. omahant (USA) - Posts: 2810 - 16/06/2024 16:42:06 2551920 Link 0 |
I'm subscribed to the Irish Independent as they carry the Kerry news and sport. The Examiner report was one of the three a week I can read! The final round of the group stage brought great excitement again. The bad press is because crowds were poor, 3 get out of the group and it took two monotonous rounds to get to this stage. The double elimination will mean getting to the same round as this weekend after just one round. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8161 - 16/06/2024 19:24:00 2551993 Link 0 |
