I think this is the only draw that ensures that Provincial finalists or Provincial winners cant meet again until the final Yellow (Wexford) - Posts: 585 - 29/05/2024 12:30:45 2548124 Link 0 |
Usually the draws for any competition aren't made until the teams are known. For example the Minor QF draw was only made on Monday.

You lose the jeopardy then it just becomes like the football champ

Knock-out provincials (and anybody can enter, including Kerry in the Munster championship where they belong) and you can have 6-7-8 teams in Leinster. Seed the previous years semi-finalists. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1777 - 29/05/2024 15:08:25 2548177 Link 2 |
There is absolutely nothing fair or accurate with the provincial system to decide the All-Ireland champions. Flawed badly. Two division with promotion and relegation as I stated. Bouncing Carlow now or promoting Laois until they dominate the Joe McDonagh is just moving the deck chairs around. Up and down year in year out with no advancement. Actually the GAA don't care just giving lip service and loading the coffers. I have said else where if provinces want a provincial championship use what ever means they want. Pick their top two in the All_Ireland series from their province to play a final. I used a computer program over the winter scraping the league including the club championship with the previous years county champions representing allowed time for club games and a closed season in Nov., Dec., and Jan.

Strong Kilkenny team for the final. Donnelly, Carey and Mullen all start. Cockney_Cat (UK) - Posts: 2643 - 07/06/2024 15:20:25 2550023 Link 0 |

True. They're named in the starting 15, for what it's worth. It should be like the soccer, the starting 15 is given to the ref an hour before the throw in.

Tells you all you need to know about the Leinster hurling final when fellas are switching over on GAAGo to watch a Tailteann Cup game between Wicklow and Leitrim. Surely, Galway would have given Kilkenny a better game, even Wexford! foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2067 - 08/06/2024 19:10:30 2550206 Link 0 |
Clare, cork, kilkenny and limerick semi finals, it very hard to see any different afraid. Cork are the big winners in my opinion, beat offaly and Dublin amd there in a semi final hunting (Wexford) - Posts: 1017 - 08/06/2024 19:40:26 2550210 Link 0 |
Dublin were like a club team out there today. Playing a short passing game like they've never practiced it once. Just awful. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8667 - 08/06/2024 19:45:51 2550212 Link 0 |

Went today hoping for a good game But by Jaysus that was pathetic from Dublin. Someone said hard luck to Dublin there was no hard luck they were a shambles never laid a hurl in Kilkenny. Kilkenny never got out of first gear. Zonal marking against Kilkenny what were they doing as for the keeper he's decent but the poor man had a mare. Mullins had the whole of croker to play with.

I was saying the exact same thing on the Hill today. Zonal marking my ass. It was madness. Never got stuck in at all and a few times pulled out of tackles.... Shocking. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3941 - 08/06/2024 22:20:23 2550246 Link 0 |
What struck me was how poor Dublins decision making was throughout. They constantly made the wrong pass or turn. KK savaged them and they nearly laid a glove on
