Crossmaglen vs Ballybay on RTE this Saturday.

Gowna vs Enniskillen Gaels rearranged the following weekend to the Saturday night I wonder is this due to RTE coverage also.

Nemo Commercials is the rte game the following saturday

2nd goal cost us and poor turnovers. Unlucky with goal chance.

Well done Cavan and best of luck in ulster

This Tipperary v London game next weekend needs to be moved from Saturday to Sunday.
The whole integrity of the Division depends on it.

If Tipp win the Leitrim v Sligo match is dead rubber
If Tipp Draw only Leitrim can go up with a win due to head to head
If Tipp lose a draw puts sligo up on score differnce or winner of the Leitrim v Sligo game go up.

In terms of integrity, unless I am corrected, a Tipp draw is the only result which should put Tipp at a huge disadvantage as Sligo are out and may save players for championship and motivation will be gone. Tipp Draw gives Sligo the slight edge knowing a draw would do them should it be tight near the end.

Yeah Tipp full value for that win. Set up perfectly and played the conditions very well. If the most likely scenario plays out and we meet again in Croker, be interested to see how it plays out.

Thought we were superb yesterday , fought like Dogs . Missed a decent goal chance near the end to wrap it up . Tipp v Cavan in Croker , firm sod and a dry ball would be a decent game . I`m not dismissing Carlow and London though , we have to maintain momentum !

I wasnt at the Wexford game but I was told our performance in that was worse than our Leitrim and Waterford games, miricale we won. Carlow and London are far from bankers. I know youre saying the exact same but we arent the team of the last decade. Very premature to be talking about croke park just yet. With Leitrim and Sligo playing each other in the last match I dont think other than two wins will be good enough to go up.

Bad day at the office for Cavan. The ref was terrible, thought he denied us a clear penalty in injury time. The wind seemed to die in the second half when it was at our backs. We spurned 4 excellent goal opportunities. We should still beat at least 1 of London and Waterford to get promoted.

Fair to say from our side it was shock win yesterday. I didnt think 4 points was enough at half time given the wind and goal to leave it a 1 point made it look like it would be a cakewalk 2nd half for ye. The standard has falling away alot from previous league and championship games between ourselves. There were a few strange calls from the ref alright, wouldnt say it favoured one team over the other though. Black card seemed harsh and 2nd half Tipp were pulled up for a free where there wasnt enough distance between the players, maybe I'm wrong but that was given as a cavan free and easy score, Surely should have been throw ball? We definitely rode our luck, mixture of poor finishing and a great save stopped ye getting goals which would have turned the game. 3 points the 2nd half from yourselves with the wind was an awful return. Teams usually liable to shockers in the league and that seems to have been yers, ye are still guarenteed promotion. Im not counting any chickens just yet in terms of our chances but yesterday has put us in a great position

I believe there is no streaming of league games this year, massive shame if true, it was the one big positive of the pandemic.

Great game. Could you imagine a super 8's game 3 'neutral' venue with packed house. I don't like super 8's format anyway but this is the exact sort of game that should be neutral and not a croke park game. Thing is vast majority of fans from both sides I reckon would agree

Strange morning. Today we can easily beat mayo if we play to our potential. Equally Mayo could give us a trimming if they get it right and we are any way off. Sickening thing is today there is a big element of doubt in how the result might go and how competitive the game will be. If we do win, as defeatist as it may be, Dublin will beat us handy.

Tipperary jersey for the munster final has been unveiled.

Colin O'Riordan cleared to play munster final. Big boost for ourselves

Munster final v Tipperary.  Will be tough game. Great preparation for semi final v Mayo.

This aged well!! Time for a name change!!

That poor tipp team getting beat by a point in the hurling and football finals. Some mess up by clonmel at the end with their goal chance so they'd have been sore had they lost too.

Good to see a bit more of the dual players. John McGrath none too shabby a footballer either.

Only plays it to keep himself fit over the winter 

Assume that's a tongue in cheek comment from someone who knows how seriously the likes of the mcgraths treat football unlike many of the other very talented footballers who purely focus of hurling

Pat Spillane feels the GAA should consider removing the possibility of penalties from deciding Championship games later this year and introduce a golden score.

"A fella misses a penalty, an individual has just cost his county the All-Ireland title. I think the fairer system is, yes extra-time, but then golden score, first team to score wins. Collective responsibility in victory, collective responsibility in defeat. To lose an All-Ireland final with a missed penalty? I wouldn't like to be that player heading back to the county."

Sometimes Spillane is correct.

I'd much prefer "next score wins" myself, but it doesn't alleviate the situation Spillane is describing. Players are going to regularly miss the target under such conditions, and there will be some dreadful misses, and the ire of spectators will follow.

Added to that it potentially puts the winning and losing in a referees hands. Could you imagine losing an All Ireland to a very soft free or more than likely the ref not wanting to be the deciding factor and not giving a blatant free. Granted this could happen in the last moments of normal time too but in a golden score situation it would be magnified much more

They've probably looked at Croke Park accomodation in more detail since JH was saying that back in early May.

I expect the Ros/ Rhubarbs and the Connacht Final to be in Croker.
3 of the 4 Leinster Hurling games, all Dublin football games plus the other Leibster Semi.
Probably Cavan/Monaghan and Tyrone/Donegal and the Final.

Firstly I cant wait to get back to going to games and having GAA back before it sounds like a moan.

I see all these bits about how many they can fit in with social distaning etc. Has it been addressed yet what happens at half time and the full time whistle when everyone leaves at the same time?
