I see HQ are looking at getting rid of league finals in an effort to free up the calendar. Are pre season competitions untouchable? Surely it would make more sense to start the NFL mid January instead of the last weekend of the month. Option B should be to push the AI final out to early August.

Let's hope tickets will be easy to come by. All depends on who is on the AI SF that day. Prob be 60 euro a ticket

To be honest I'd say if you asked Cavan and Fermanagh what they would prefer, promotion or Tailteann winners then they'd choose the former all day long.
Don't quite understand that logic at all. The chance of winning a national trophy in Croke Park in front of a big crowd during the summer on a big championship day with a guaranteed holiday. As opposed to getting promoted playing winter League football with no tangible success. Nobody will remember finishing 2nd in division 3 at the end of their career.
No-one is going to remember winning the Tailteann Cup either
The teams already have a chance at winning something at their level..the divisional national leave finals.
The problem with the Tailteann cup is that the teams at the top of it it don't want to be in it, and the teams at the bottom of it have no chance of winning it so ultimately no one is interested in it.
The only reason to win it is to guarantee a place in the AI next year, which the winning team will probably get via promotion the next year anyway.
Total nonsense. They are playing to lift silverware in Croke Park in mid summer. By using that logic then the same applies to the winner of every junior and intermediate club championship up and down the country every season. If some of the 'top counties' don't want to be in it then by virtue of the fact that they aren't in the Sam Maguire, then they aren't actually a 'top county'. If they think they are too good for it then it boils down to having over inflated notions about themselves.

Don't think we need a third tier just because Laois aren't pulling their weight at the minute. Don't know why this management team was kept in place. Things can improve for Laois quickly if the right people get stuck in.
If anything Down and probably Meath are showing that they shouldn't be in the TC in all honesty. Also bringing third placed teams out of the group have resulted in poor teams getting further than they should.
Bar 2010. We are still a work in progress and Meath will be a tough challenge in the final. Its only a few weeks ago that Armagh destroyed us in Clones. But the extra games have brought us on buy we aren't at a level yet to compete with any of those teams in the QF draw this morning.

Such a hammering doesn't do much for the competition. It definitely hasn't went as well as last year. It's usually only those from bigger counties that say that as the want the smaller counties out of the way. It's got barely any coverage even today as the Sam Maguire and Liam McCarthy was so condensed.
It's not a competition I have much interest in. Even talking about the success of Westmeath, they will be in it again next year and Division 3 so have they really progressed that much.

Basic errors really cost us. Armagh got the lucky breaks. Going for points ball drops short a keeper with zero presence and bang it's in the net. Not once but twice! We needed to be taking all our chances so missing scoreable frees and dropping shorts short was criminal. The amount of people that attend Gaa matches purely for a piss up is actually embarrassing. Numerous lads and girls will need to watch the match on Monday to see what actually happened!

Disgraceful stunt or not, he has been the one constant in over 20 years of under achievement both on and off the pitch. A great win today and looking forward to next day out against the Orange hoors!

Steelstown have disagreed with the Ulster LGFA and issued their own statement ...it contains omissions errors and misleading statements

Lazer, probably not intentionally, but the way you've put that is a bit misleading. The Steelstown statement does not " contain errors omissions and misleading statements". Their club statement said that the ULGFA statement had "errors/omissions etc".

Cavan were probably really the only anomaly. Derry seemed to deserve to drift down those years, as both their Championship and League record was bad at that time. Fair play to them for coming out of it though. Cavan, however, went down while maintaining good Championship results. And a huge bugbear of mine is that they used Covid disrupted leagues to gauge this. Cavan relegated from Division 2 on a decent points total on head to head. And down to Division 4 on a truncated League, while suffering a hangover from winning ulster a few months before. Should never have been down there.
Anyway, I've made my point. There's probably no perfect answer. Leagues tells some of the story, but not all of it. Like are some Division 1 teams really better than Dublin being now a division ahead of them? It is far more nuanced, and I was fishing a wee bit.
