Football qualifier route 2019

[From the Bunker]

Take it from me, the drive from Mayo to Newry is one of the worst there is in Ireland. If its on a Saturday evening god save you all.

Mayo fans won't mind the 7 hour round trip. After all it's all about the 'Journey' for Mayo fans. Feck me when you get a plethora of them going to see Mayo play a Junior club side in New York, sure this trip will be a doddle!

[Billys Boots]

We will beat Tyrone.

We will indeed.

Google maps brings me through Enniskillen, Caledon, around outskirts of Armagh. Seems a long hoor of a trek alright. Never been to Newry before. Never been to Down even. It'd be a double whammy of crossing out both a game and being in Down on the same day if I go.

Sure get a seat in the Armagh half of the ground and cross something else off

I'd imagine it would be an overnight trip for the team , and most other people as well.

Google Maps tells me to turn off N4 in Edgeworthtown and go via Kells/Ardee to M1 and up to Newry.

The qualifier draw Gods are finally smiling on us. Long may it continue.

Well if i was doing it I'd go Sligo, Manorhamilton, Blacklion, Florencecourt, Derrylin, out the Lisnaskea Road turn right to bring you onto Lisnaskea- Newtownbutler road, shortly after turn left bringing out out on Clones to Monaghan road, Go to Monaghan, Armagh, Newry

You wont see a hard shoulder until you get to Newry!

Make a weekend off it. The mourne mountains on a summers day are a sight to behold.

That's quite scenic,a part from the Armagh bit.

Westmeath  1/10 v Limerick 13/2
Longford 8/1 v Tyrone 1/14
Antrim 11/2 v Kildare 1/8
Leitrim 5/2 v Clare 2/5
Down 11/2 v Mayo 1/8
Derry 8/15 v Laois 15/8
Offaly 2/7 v Sligo 10/3
Monaghan 4/7 v Armagh 7/4

Odds from PP, seems like they think 4 games are foregone conclusions although I think both Longford and Down are too long. Laois look like good value imo

Armagh best value odds there especially if Monaghan are as laboured as they were v Fermanagh. Longford odds too long, they have a decent qualifier record and Tyrone can struggle in some of these early round games. I would have the Derry and Laois odds closer than that.

Leinster five-fold

Westmeath -7
Longford +8
Laois +2
Kildare -6
Offaly -4

Works out at a fraction under 30/1. All in!
