2 good semi finals. It's a decent competition and deserved better attendance.

The semi finals being plated at Croke Park probably needs looked at really.

1. Bring back the qualifiers for all counties missing out on provincial finals, seeded using league ranking. 2. Keep the Tailteann Cup, but in straight knockout format, for the counties knocked out during the qualifiers, with the Tailteann winner qualifying for the following year's All-Ireland 16. 3. Schedule the Tailteann semi-finals for Saturday, allowing the hurling quarter-finals on Sunday. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8161 - 23/06/2024 18:57:47 2554094 Link 0 |

Pikeman, certainly you displayed a lot of patience in that dialogue! The George Bernard Shaw quote comes to mind: " Never wrestle with a pig because you'll get dirty and besides, the pig likes it". PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 1941 - 23/06/2024 19:10:41 2554103 Link 3 |
Whatever happens, after all the fuss from Sligo management only 10,000 turned up for the double header. Not even the Sligo supporters got behind this tournament and the senior hurling quarter finals get demoted for this nonsense. I hope they enjoyed today because that's not going to happen ever again.

So basically the Tommy Murphy Cup again? How did that work out?

It's a second tier competition. What drawing board would you go back to ? Are weaker teams not entitled to a day in Croker. All counties have bought into this come which is the most important statistic. There hasn't been much of a crowd at any Sam Maguire game yet. I would like to see a semi final played as a curtain raiser to maybe an All Ireland semi final. It's a brilliant competition eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1861 - 23/06/2024 19:27:41 2554111 Link 0 |

The TMC didn't offer a championship reward. The Tailteann winner would be guaranteed an All-Ireland place in the following year.

Why are so many people from Wexford so unset about the Tailteann Cup? oneoff (UK) - Posts: 1462 - 23/06/2024 20:11:17 2554134 Link 0 |

Similar crowd to the Division 3 and 4 finals? The Division 3 and 4 finals are fine as a Saturday double header. The Tailteann semi-finals just needs a similar Saturday double header. SATURDAY JUNE 22ND 2024 ALTERNATIVE: Antrim v Laois, Tailteann Cup, RTE Down v Sligo, Tailteann Cup, RTE Louth v Cork, All-Ireland Preliminary Quarter-final, GAAGO Mayo v Derry, All-Ireland Preliminary Quarter-final, GAAGO SUNDAY JUNE 23RD 2024 ALTERNATIVE: Dublin v Cork, All-Ireland Hurling Quarter-final, RTE Clare v Wexford, All-Ireland Hurling Quarter-final, RTE Galway v Monaghan, All-Ireland Preliminary Quarter-final, GAAGO Tyrone v Roscommon, All-Ireland Preliminary Quarter-final, GAAGO legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8161 - 23/06/2024 20:20:14 2554139 Link 0 |

The Sligo game was thoroughly enjoyable today and they were very unlucky not to win it. Despite being a man down they were still in the game until the death in extra time. Thery put up a good fight. A far cry from your own hurlers who threw in the towel early. Must be the reason ye are called the yellow belly's.

Bad hurling is still always better than good football ;)
