Welcome to Croke Park..........it's all about the Dubs and your money!

If you think otherwise you'll soon learn after a few trips.

+1.
If it wasn't the Dublin Cork match would have been in Thurles or Limerick.

Safe journeys to all travelling from the 7 Counties today and especially from Derry and Armagh.

Population of 26 Cos now 5.1m.
Will be 11 or more extra seats in next Dáil.
So 86 TDs' votes needed to elect Taoiseach.

This format was for 2022 only.
Teams get a minimum of 4 Championship matches next year.

The aim of the Tailteann cup is to narrow the gap with the Sam Maguire Cup over time. In order to achieve this, teams need more matches.
Next year the top Tailteann teams should be able to beat Meath

This is the kind of nonsense usually only spouted by people on a payroll.

A d4 county team playing 3 more matches in June against mediocre opposition, is not going to make one iota of difference to how they perform when back in league action with a new panel and new management team the following January. Not one iota. In many cases the extra commitment required will turn key players away: off to America or back to their clubs. And when they return to the fold in November, nobody will bat an eyelid.

Whats your solution? Easy to knock but what would you do differently?

Prophets of doom don't do solutions.

I'm 14 behind the leader so it probably doesn't make any difference who I predict now.
The sensible thing to do would be cog off Farrandeelin....
Anyway
Derry by 4
Dublin by 12
Galway by 1
Kerry by 4
