My club at home is sold out and taking no more orders.

Don't t think it will be 5:1 Armagh like in the 2022 qualifier.

Or the 2010 qualifier!

It's strange to have leaves bursting out knowing that by the time the conkers appear the finals will be very old news.

Ticket sales to clubs only. Will they open to everyone next week?

Guess it depends if they fill the venue via the clubs outlet, if not then they'll go onto Ticketmaster you'd think.  Can't remember what way it worked last year.  At last a game where it feels like the season ticket has some value.

I think in a way, the OO marching in these towns and villages is people don't care any more. No major flashpoints now apart from the interfaces and urban areas. 

Nationalism has won. It's all about the demographics now and that has swung hugely in the past 5 years and in 10 years say, it'll be massive.

These parades are more to be pitied than laughed at. They know their place now in the small rual areas, especially west of the Bann. A tiddly wee band with a few old men in bowler hats marching behind.

A sad sight. 

 

This is exactly it. Where I'm from
Would have been 80% unionist when my da was growing up, but there were no flags, my da and his mates used to take them down. Now the town is about 70% nationalist and we have flags that go up in June and don't come down to Christmas. Thing is no one my generations cares. Bit of a laugh for ha as we go to our work in decent jobs with decent education.

Give up after 20mins of his latest show.

According to him, Derry have a small MF pairing, and that MH doesn't have a clue...

Unless im wrong, the current AI record is 3 v 1?

At senior level yes, Harte also has a minor all-ireland and 2 u21 all irelands. So it's kinda 6 v 1?

Jim yet to win an Ulster senior club either

Levels.

Venues for the Semis?
Meath v Kerry Portlaoise?
Tyrone v Connacht Breffni if Ros, Longford if Galway?

Portlaoise? Good god man have you any idea how far it is from places like Ballinskelligs to even Limerick!

Thurles at least I would hope and if that's not available, Nenagh or the Gaelic grounds.

from places like bettystown and ballinabrackey (both clubs have players on Meath team) portlaoise is same distance as from Kerry

Ballinabrackey is an hour from Portlaoise.

lot longer than a hour. And what about bettystown ?
