One bad mistake punished. Real shame for Sligo who were the better team by all accounts

No idea if thats accurate or where the money is seen!Quote from: JoG2 on April 19, 2024, 02:28:37 PMQuote from: thewobbler on April 19, 2024, 01:22:29 PMIt's odd isn't it?
Every single last person involved in sport knows that protracted knockout competitions are a steaming pile of dung until the element of jeopardy arrives.
And yet all around Ireland, all around the world, we keep introducing and extending these formats.
Other sports can at least use professionalism and a need for paying spectators as their excuse.
We cannot.
Well considering 85% approx of money generated filters down to the clubs, we all win?
Where's that figure coming from?
HQ is clearly contributing to player injury insurance. And it pays for the IT infrastructure (Foireann).
But I did a 5 year stretch as a treasurer until recently. And i don't actually recall a direct benefit coming from HQ during that time.
Was I filling in the wrong forms?

McGuinness still holds a grudge with him and wouldn't speak to journalists at the Ulster launch unless he left.
12 years ago and still holding a grudge he doesnt sway from his principles McGuinness.
That's ridiculous. All he did was interview a guy and write a book. McGuinness would want to wise up, its bad enough he will be remembered as the guy who destroyed football for a decade but does he want to be remembered as a bitter dick too?
Most people (who don't exclusively breath through their mouth) would probably explain to you that McGuinness didn't actually force the rest of the counties to play in any particular way, that was completely up to them.

Cavan are unbeaten in championship against Tyrone in Breffni for more than 40 years.
How many Cavan v Tyrone championship matches has been played in Breffni the last 40 years?
That's irrelevant
It's all relevant.
No its not
To answer my own question one match in 1983 won by Cavan 0-10 to 0-11. Since then in other venues 8 Ulster championship meetings between the two with Tyrone winning 6 and two draws.

Quote from: Tones on April 16, 2024, 11:28:47 AMIs it really? Most counties have goals at the start of the year, get promoted, avoid relegation, beat neighbours etc. do they really need a coping mechanism of devaluing competitions, I seriously doubt it. There are about 26 counties under the new system never going win Sam, Derry don't need another Ulster but will probably win it, any other county would relish it.

The same thing happened in the League final again when the stakes were heightened and the fear of losing took over.
The Ulster final, should we get there, could well be the defining game of the season because they won't be winning an All Ireland title. For a lot of those players it's probably the last chance saloon to try and win meaningful silverware.
Is it meaningful silverware?
It definitely is, anybody who says otherwise is deluding themselves.
Devalue everything except the one cup that's pretty much unattainable for most counties in a given year, it's a coping mechanism to avoid disappointment
