Munster draw is a farce. Why do a shit cork team get preferential treatment

Because thats what Tipperary, Limerick, Clare and Waterford wanted.

We voted against it and Clare voted for it against teams wishes

It was Tipp that proposed that Cork and Kerry get byes to the semi-finals.

Looks like next year could be a very bad championship for Division 4 sides and provide a serious chunk of evidence for a tiered championship, given the way the draw went.

The following are the Division 4 sides first round opposition.

Antrim v Tyrone (unless Derry somehow beat Tyrone)   
Derry v Tyrone   
Leitrim v Roscommon   
Limerick v Tipperary
London v Galway   
Waterford v Clare   
Wexford v    Louth   
Wicklow v   Kildare   

4 Division 1 sides and 3 Division 2 sides and only 1 Division 3 side.
There's also Mayo v New York.
Looks like a lot of one-sided matches in the early rounds of the championship
Worth remembering that this is with some protection for Division 4 sides due to the that Kerry and Cork are going straight into the Munster semi-finals and Dublin are going straight into the Leinster quarters.

The Corey twins going up against each other in the opening game next year will be an interesting storyline!

Will we see Vinnie again next year?

I'd say so, especially with Malachy staying on too. Haven't heard anything yet but that's my hunch. He just had his best year for a few seasons and he'd be the type to keep playing as long as he's let.

Wonder where the Derry Antrim game will be? Ballymena, Ahoghill?
A moot point but if Derry won away to Tyrone they would get a home game.

Jaysus that Emlyn mulligan is some negative hoor. He'd be poison in the dressing room.
A honest but awful attitude.
can yee elaborate for us expats

They got roscommon. Said it was a terrible draw, he wanted Sligo. Hard to motivate himself for it he said.
We'll swap our draw with him gladly if he wants so.

It'll be another beating from Galway for us, though hopefully not as pitiful as it was this year, and at least the journey home will be short.

Connacht final likely in Salthill then unless Galway trip up against London or Sligo. Galway have home advantage next against both Mayo and Roscommon.

We haven't lost a Connacht Final on Galway soil since...??

Good draw for Armagh.

Beat Down, then Cavan for a place in the Ulster Final. Handy enough.

Ros are better off playing their ugly sister match or matches before the final. If they are good enough they will get a better all Ireland qf operformance than this year where they had an easy Connacht semi and subsequently did nothing.

Playing Sligo is like an All-Ireland final for Leitrim....lads would be coming home from America and all to try and bate us.

Straight into Connacht semi final will mean we get a good run of club football in April and maybe first week or two in May.

Rossfan

And most likely in late June and July too ;D :P
We might be on the same boat too though
