Super 8s

[seafoid]

Let's see who gets to the semi's.  It does look as though the standard in Ulster is not as good as in the past. Everyone expected Tyrone and to a lesser extent Monaghan to kick on and it didn't happen for whatever reasons.

If it's not as good as it was for Ulster when they still have the highest proportion of the last 12 teams (5/12) and will likely have the highest proportion of the last 8 teams (3/8) then I think it says it all for the high standards that are expected in Ulster. Even in our supposed demise, we still top the other provinces.

[straightred]

so there you have it.

The 8 teams that make up the super 8 come from this years div 1 or the teams that will be promoted to next years div 1. Of those 10 only Cavan and Mayo  miss out and they were beaten by Donegal & Tyrone and Galway & Kildare (teams from this top 10). Confirms that the league is really good barometer of how things stand

3 Ulster, 2 Connacht, 2 Leinster, and 1 Munster. Sin é

And everyone says Ulster football is finished.

Just shows the critical lens Ulster gets in comparison to the other provinces.

And can everyone from Ros and Connacht ignore the new pest who has arisen on the Board.
Anyone know what sort of prices they'll be charging.
€35? For seats?

30 i hear. A lot of money for supporters of the last 8 teams to fork out over the next 4 weeks especially if they have young familes and are traveling long distances.

Roscommon did us a favour yesterday then.

I dunno if any will be in the semis.
There is an elite and it isn't 8 strong.

Probably a better chance than the Connacht sides though.

17 years since a Connacht side outside Mayo reached an All Ireland semi final and there's no Mayo this year.

Haven't we 6 teams making the last 8 2 years in a row
Kerry
Galway
Ros
Dublin
Tyrone
Monaghan.
Is that elite enough Seafóidín?

Charlie Redmond believes that Dublin playing their league games at Croke Park is good for 'clubs and counties all over the country'.

The Hill 16 legend has had his say on the debate about Jim Gavin's team's familiarity with GAA HQ giving them an unfair advantage over their opponents.

He argues that the money raised from Dublin's Croke Park outings benefits the wider GAA community.

"Dublin will be the team in the Super 8s without a home game," the 1995 All-Ireland winner writes in his Sunday World column today.

"Your home ground is the one where the county board maintains the pitch, tries to improve the facilities for players and supporters, where all the county's inter-county teams can train if they want to.

"None of that applies to Croke Park. All of the above applies to Parnell Park.

"Dublin choose to play their league matches in Croke Park to get extra money for everyone. The Allianz League receipts are divided by 32.

"Most of their championship games are fixed for Croker so that the thousands of people who want to see them and their opponents play can do so in comfort.

"And so that clubs and counties all over the country can get grants from GAA HQ to improve their own pitches, clubhouses and coaching programmes."





I wonder if Charlie could say this with a straight face when being asked.

If The Onion covered GAA I imagine they would come up with something liks this.
