If a lot of teams don't take it seriously, Longford at 25/1 might be worth a flutter

Cavan should walk it. Tipp maybe worth a bet?

Tipp might not be in it if they win this weekend...

This year is straight knock out. Next year this competition becomes a group format.

More time wasting routines ffs! Its beyond a joke with the amount of time players are away from their clubs at the minute but now they are going to be stretching the season out further to win the second tier cup

It's a split season that allows plenty of time for those players with their clubs once the inter County season ends.

Should be a honour to represent your county and this is competition with the opportunity to win a trophy in Croke Park.

So you have them for a bit then they go away again ? Aye it's an honour like the Tommy cooper cup.. they'll be writing songs about the winners and films made about the rise from div 4 to Sam Maguire!

You complained about the provincial championships previously and now writing off the Tailteann Cup before it begins. So you want your own Antrim county players play one championship match and those players be let back to their clubs?

I've been very plain from the start, you have a intermediate championship, and a senior championship , no back doors or any of that crap of round robins or group formats, Intermediate winners move up and if you are div 2 or 1 you play for Sam, everyone else has to earn that right by either winning their leagues to move up or winning the intermediate. Why are we wanting to stretch the championship?

Once you are out then the county can get back to normality and counties won't be spending fortunes on the running of their teams

There's the elephant in the room right there people, one of the main reasons for the condensed season.

1000% correct.

I said that same thing to a few people months ago. GAA has become moneyball.

County boards have lost the power struggle with managers and players of Intercounty senior teams.
In addition to Managers and selectors, we have Physios, Doctors, goalkeeping coaching, dieticians, logistics, Proctologists( to ensure that anyone of the previous listed seven groups, does not get their head completely stuck up their arse).

So county boards went to Croke Park showed them the money they were spending or in a lot of cases wasting.
Croke Parks find a lazy answer or really stupid answer lets have only four county football teams left in the championship on June 30th. Sorry make that six the Tailteann cup finalists.
We will make up the revenue difference by holding concerts or American football in Croke Park from mid August on.
Forget the lack of attention of Gaelic games from Mid July on, Soccer (premier league begins in early august and Rugby will fill that void for GAA folks  .

They will probably be in the Northern section though so going to be more difficult.

Depends on how serious Cavan takes this competition will key players make themselves available for it etc. It was clear on Sunday one of main motivators was to avoid Tailteann cup.

On what basis do you say that? I only heard of one motivation, to win ulster. Everything else is hearsay.

[Westside]

Anyone who thinks Cavan will walk this doesn't know much about Cavan. This team doesn't do anything the easy way and tends to struggle against inferior opposition.

Tipp will struggle without Quinlivan. Westmeath would be decent bet.

if tailteaan cup winners got into all ireland the same season it just be seen as another section of the back door qualifiers and the bigger teams may say why are weakers teams getting an easier back door.

That's probably the first bit of sense that you have posted.

I read recently that only 6 of Tipps starting 15 from their 2020 Munster winning team remains.

Its written by Martin Brehony, safest thing is to leave it behind a pay wall. Reading a lot of crap about Cavan shouldnt be in the Tailtean Cup. Well we are and we are because we allowed ourselves to get relegated 2 years in a row. Suck it up I say and get on with it. It happens in club football all the time, a team going down that probably shouldnt.

[Rossfan]

The old "too good to go down" syndrome.
The right thing to do is roll up the sleeves and try to be good  enough to get back up.
As for Breheny....behind a wall (abut 5m high) is the place for him alright.
