At least the professionals have been removed from the equation now. It's bad when the most excitement to be had in the competition is hoping the colleges trying to game the system don't succeed.

I'm struggling with your line of thought.

UCD were the first college to bring "professionalism" into Sigerson, and have the most expansive program. But you call UUJ the professionals? Why ignore UCD professionals?

Interesting that you correctly guessed I meant UUJ and not DIT.

great to see ucg back in the final

Kieran Molloy (NUIG) and Liam Silke (UCD) going to miss out on a Sigerson final and medal now seeing as its on the same day as the club semi finals, probably no chance of it being moved at this late stage.

I'm sure they'll still get a medal. It's be mad to rearrange it for two players though.

Two proper colleges in the final.

I'd like you to name the players you suspect are doing ''flower arranging'' courses as used to be the stick to beat Ulster University with.

Real shame for them alright but club comes first.

Or even Sunday, wouldn't be ideal but at least the 2 lads would get a chance to be part of the panel. Club comes first though as you said GBB, I doubt it was a tough decision for them to make, just a pity they had to make it at all.

Just following your consistent critique of UUJ.

But you didn't answer the question.

Why are UCD and NUIG not professionals when they run the same schemes are UUJ? Just interested

The final on TV Saturday? Be superior fare to the club matches I'd wager.

Someone would seriously prefer pro watch the Sigerson final than the four best clubs in Ireland going head-to-head?

To win a Sigerson final is a feather in the cap for many footballers and I'm sure they'll be be going all-out for the victory, even more so than the glorified friendly that is the Inter-Pros. Both colleges will boast a large complement of inter-county players, some of whom are senior AI medal winners. Do you think it will be of inferior standard to the club games?
