@UpperCusack I think it is pretty bad form naming a user on the forum. There's a reason we hide behind pseudonym's. I'm not even from Mayo. I'm a machine sent from the future to try and disrupt Lancashire football team going for the All Ireland senior 5 in a row. They've just beaten Dublin by 8 points to win Leinster again. This was my only hope and now you start to bring in these sound fact based arguments. We need chaos and unsubstantiated claims and statements. p.s. England beat Costa Rica 6-0 and go on to win the 2014 World Cup on penalties. Mayo4Sam05 (Mayo) - Posts: 6 - 20/06/2014 10:50:27 1606351 Link 0 |
The format does not work at present I think we all agree on this, the county championships our only a couple of weeks away and clubs have had no game for weeks due to county teams playing. knowtherules (UK) - Posts: 181 - 20/06/2014 10:53:59 1606355 Link 0 |
Uppercusack - Spout the rule book all you want but do you think the current championship is working? If it was felt that a Sigerson Style weekend (festival) of Inter country football was good for the promotion of the game then is there nothing that can be done to accomodate this? Im not sure of the rules or techical terms about these compeitions in the rulebook (im sure you will enlighten me) but I played in the North American Chamopionship which was played over a weekend in Chicago. Try telling those lads thats not a championship. HospitalBall (UK) - Posts: 79 - 20/06/2014 10:54:46 1606356 Link 0 |
This was a good competition when it was straight knockout. It was proposed by Warwickshire a few years ago to revert back but was rejected by all. I think we should go back to that. But it changes year on year as warks seem to be taking it seriously this year and last year were a club team macs4eva (UK) - Posts: 107 - 20/06/2014 11:26:20 1606365 Link 0 |

Hospitalball - I dont think the current format is working and changing the format to give Kilkenny more games to play has been to the detriment of the vast majority of the counties in Britain. Uppercusack (UK) - Posts: 16 - 20/06/2014 13:53:29 1606456 Link 0 |
The format was changed long before Kilkenny were brought in. Kilkenny are not the problem they have fulfilled their fixtures which makes a mockery of the too much travelling argument. macs4eva (UK) - Posts: 107 - 20/06/2014 15:18:05 1606497 Link 0 |
macs4eva - I can speak from experience. Uppercusack (UK) - Posts: 16 - 20/06/2014 15:50:10 1606527 Link 0 |
I'm not having a go. I understand that we are lucky with our location and facilities and yet still struggled to get a team last year.I think a knockout would make it easier . You might be surprised to hear the final is fixed for Birmingham regardless of teams. macs4eva (UK) - Posts: 107 - 20/06/2014 17:28:23 1606585 Link 0 |

Warks v Scotland in pnh next Sunday macs4eva (UK) - Posts: 107 - 22/06/2014 19:36:53 1607296 Link 0 |
i believe the decision to make PNH the venue was put in place last year by the previous provincial secretary that all provincial finals should be at PNH, harsh on scotland on a couple of fronts, facilites wise apart from old bedians manchester where else can host it?

A good match at the Pairc, and the better team won. Warwickshire had a good spell in the second half but ultimately wasted a lot of chances. A few stand out performers in White in both Full Forward and Full Back but Scotland were the better team. square_ball_ref (UK) - Posts: 127 - 01/07/2014 10:07:51 1611979 Link 0 |
Thought harrigan played well , Gilbride seeded quiet after the knock got exposed for the goal , warwickshire lost it at midfield and couldnt cope with the pace , a lot of the lads in white didnt seem fit enough for Scotland its now back to the bread & Butter , whos gonna win the championship ? knowle (Roscommon) - Posts: 82 - 03/07/2014 17:13:09 1613301 Link 0 |
