Is there anybody seriously looking forward to it ?
Cany get excited about it at all
I'm look forward to the last two remaining NFL games more than a knock out winter championship.

This too though I'm from Antrim so usually it's a short championship.

Maybe more the hurling.

Same here. Maybe when/if the NFL restarts I might get interested.
But if I can't go to the games I will find it hard to get excited.

Antrim will be in the championship 6 days longer than Tyrone and Derry.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

You'll have to repeatedly  taser Tyrone to get rid of them so fast, though it's a nice thought.

Most people seem to think it's a given Donegal would beat Tyrone. Far from it.

It'll be interesting to see how the tv works on this. As someone said hard to get as excited if you can't go to it but given the inconsistency of rules we'll maybe all just be able to watch it in a bar instead so at least there'll be some atmosphere ;D

Same here. Still on a high after Sunday though, but in a month's time it will probably be different. As you said not being able to go to the games isn't the same.

We live in hope.

Some posters here seem to take great interest despite living in the US and so are only seeing games on TV, we are all in the same boat if in fact our game is on TV!

Who thinks this?

I'd have it 50/50.

Especially with no crowd packing out Ballybofey.

I'm looking forward to Monaghan beating Cavan,  tumbelweed blowing in the terraces won't diminish that pleasure.
But I would like at least 500 spectators there, half to celebrate and half to suffer.

If this Cavan team beat Monaghan it will be a really sweat one as it will surely signify the end of this Monaghan team. I hope all of Monaghan is tuned in to watch it.

Will have a fair idea what type of shape/form both are in from their two NFL games

Donegal v Tyrone round 6 game October 17th/18th

Tyrone away to Mayo and Donegal away to Kerry in round 7.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

is it time to call off the championship
Why?

It will only get worse before it gets better. Donegal going into lockdown for 3 weeks from tonight.

The club scene was managed fairly well because its played within the County. Counties travelling to other areas a different scenario.

Yet the LoI can manage it....

Start testing players now.
